40p + 55p = 95p

435p ÷ 95p = 4.57...

So, the sum of the two pairs can go into £4.35 four times.

That meant if I increase the buns & cakes four times, it will help me get closer to the sum of £4.35 & work out which was extra

(40 x 4 = 160) & (55 x 4 = 220)

160 + 220= 380p or £3.80

Adding them up I get 380 pence & that's 55p short to getting to the sum of 435p or £4.35

(435-380=55p)

Thus, the extra is the cake, meaning you bought 4 buns and 5 cakes.

Hope this helps!

By solving a linear equation, we conclude that you bought 4 buns and 5 cakes.

<h3>How many of each did I buy?</h3>

We will define the two variables:

  • x = number of buns bought.
  • y = number of cakes bought.

We know that you spent exactly £4.35, then we only need to solve the linear equation:

x*0.40 + y*0.55 = 4.35

We need to solve that equation for x and y, such that the values of x and y can only be positive whole numbers.

We can rewrite the equation as:

y*0.55 = 4.35 - x*0.40

y = (4.35 - x*0.40)/0.55

Now we only need to evaluate it in different values of x, and see for which value of x, the outcome y is also a whole number.

We will see that for x = 4, we have:

y = (4.35 - 4*0.40)/0.55 = 5

So you bought 4 buns and 5 cakes.

How do I show the relationship between the input and the output
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Types of Relationships between the Input and Output

The scatter plot can be a useful tool in understanding the type of relationship that exist between the inputs (X’s) and the outputs (Y’s)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. No Relationship: The scatter plot can give an obvious suggestion if the inputs and outputs on the graph are not related. The points will be scattered throughout the graph with no particular pattern. For no relationship to exist, points have to be completely diffused. If some points are in concentration, then maybe a relationship does exist and our analysis has not been able to uncover it.

2. Linear and Non-Linear: A linear correlation exists when all the points are plotted close together. They form a distinct line. On the other hand points could be close together but they could form a relationship which has curves in it. The nature of the relationship has wide ranging implications.

3. Positive and Negative: A positive relationship between the inputs and the outputs is one wherein more of one input leads to more of an output. This is also known as a direct relationship.

On the other hand a negative relationship is one where more of one input leads to less of another output. This is also known as an inverse relationship.

4. Strong and Weak: The strength of the correlation is tested by how closely the data fits the shape. For instance if all the points are scattered very close together to form a very visible line then the relationship is strongly linear. On the other hand, if the relationship does not so obviously fit the shape then the relationship is weak.

I don't know if this was exactly what you were looking for; hope it is! :)

Jim is showing his work in simplifying (−8.5 + 6.1) − 1.3.
dexar [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  In step 4, Jim's answer is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

In step 1, Jim swaps the order of addends using the commutative property of addition.

In step 2, Jim uses the distributive property to factor -1 from the final two terms. (The associative property lets Jim move parentheses.)

  6.1 +(-8.5 -1.3) . . . associative property

  6.1 +(-1)(8.5 +1.3) . . . distributive property

In step 3, Jim has used the properties of real numbers to form the sum of two of them.

In step 4, Jim wrote an answer of 1.1, when the answer should have been -3.7. Jim's answer is incorrect.

The descriptive statements about steps 2 and 4 are both true.

-x+4= 2x+1 equation steps
kykrilka [37]

-x + 4 = 2x + 1

add x to both sides

4 = 3x + 1

subtract 1 from both sides

3 = 3x

dived 3 from both sides

1 = x
