Hello!

Let's write some important information contained in the exercise:

• hotdogs: $2.59 (,x,)

,

• hamburgers: $5.29 (,y,)

He needs 11 packages. Let's write it:

• x + y = 11

He spent a total of $39.29. We can write it as:

• 2.59x + 5.29y = 39.29

Now, let's solve these two equations as a linear system:

\begin{cases}x+y=11\text{ equation A} \\ 2.59x+5.29y=39.29\text{ equation B}\end{cases}

First, let's isolate x in equation A:

\begin{gathered} x+y=11 \\ x=11-y \end{gathered}

Now, we will replace where's x by 11-y in equation B:

\begin{gathered} 2.59x+5.29y=39.29 \\ 2.59(11-y)+5.29y=39.29 \\ 28.49-2.59y+5.29y=39.29 \\ -2.59y+5.29y=39.29-28.49 \\ 2.7y=10.8 \\ y=\frac{10.8}{2.7} \\  \\ y=4 \end{gathered}

As I called the hamburgers as 'y', we know that he bought 4 packages of hamburgers.

A toy baseball and bat cost $1.50 together. The bat costs $1.00 more than the baseball. How much does the baseball cost?
Nataly [62]
$0.50 is the answer. If the bat is $1.00 more than the baseball, you would subtract that from the total cost which is $1.50 so the answer would be $0.50.

Use graph to answer question

Answer:

cos(θ) = 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can think of this situation as a triangle rectangle (you can see it in the image below).

Here, we have a triangle rectangle with an angle θ, such that the adjacent cathetus to θ is 3 units long, and the cathetus opposite to θ is 4 units long.

Here we want to find cos(θ).

You should remember:

cos(θ) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)

We already know that the adjacent cathetus is equal to 3.

And for the hypotenuse, we can use the Pythagorean's theorem, which says that the sum of the squares of the cathetus is equal to the square of the hypotenuse, this is:

3^2 + 4^2 = H^2

We can solve this for H, to get:

H = √( 3^2 + 4^2) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5

The hypotenuse is 5 units long.

Then we have:

cos(θ) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)

cos(θ) = 3/5
