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.

Find the equation of the line passing through the point (4,−1) that is parallel to the line 2x−3y=9.
motikmotik

Hey there!

Line passes through (4, -1) & is parallel to 2x -3y=9

Let's start off by identifying what our slope is. In the slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we know that "m" is our slope.

The given equation needs to be converted into slope-intercept form and we can do this by getting y onto its own side of the equal sign.

Start off by subtracting 2x from both sides.

-3y = -2x + 9

Then, divide both sides by -3.

y = (-2x + 9)/-3

Simplify.

y = 2/3x - 3

"M" is simply a place mat so if we look at our given line, the "m" value is 2/3. Therefore, our slope is 2/3.

We should also note that we're looking for a line that's parallel to the given one. This means that our new line has the same slope as our given line. Therefore, our new line has a slope of 2/3.

Now, we use point-slope form ( y-y₁=m(x-x₁) ) to complete our task of finding a line that passes through (4, -1). Our new slope is 2/3 & it passes through (4, -1).

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

Let's start by plugging in 2/3 for m (our new slope), 4 for x1 and -1 for y1.

y - (-1) = 2/3(x - 4)

Simplify.

y + 1 = 2/3 + 8/3

Simplify by subtracting 1 from both sides.

y = 2/3x + 8/3 - 1

Simplify.

y = 2/3x + 5/3

~Hope I helped!~

The circumference of a circle is 6 inches. What is the area of the circle?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

(B) 9π in²

Step-by-step explanation:

I’m going to assume that by 6 inches you meant 6π inches.

If the circumference of a circle is 6π inches, then it’s radius will be half of 6 (because the circumference of a circle is 2\pi r).

6\div2=3

So the radius is 3.

Now that we know the radius, we can find the area by using the equation \pi r^2.

\pi 3^2\\\pi9\\9\pi

Hope this helped!
