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.

What directed number is suggested by the statement "I gained 3 pounds "?​
sammy [17]

Answer:

The directed number suggested is +3.

Step-by-step explanation:

A directed number is one that has either a positive or negative sign, so that it could be easily located on the number line. Thus, the sign shows the direction of the number. Examples are: -2, -1, +5, +6 etc.

From the given question, let the initial weight be represented by W, then:

I gained 3 pounds implies at that; 3 pounds was added to my initial weight. Thus, my present weight is my initial weight + 3 pounds.

i.e I gained 3 pounds ⇒ W + 3

So that the directed number suggested by the statement is +3.

What is m angle ABC​
victus00 [196]

Answer:

3rd option: 60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see in the diagram that the angle on C is a supplementary angle, which means that the sum of 135 and internal angle will be equal to 180 degrees.

Let x be the internal angle,

Then

x+135 = 180

x = 180-135

x = 45 degrees

So now we know that two interior angles of the triangle.

Also we know that sum of all internal angles of triangle is 180 degrees.

Using the same postulate:

A+B+C = 180

75 + B + 45 = 180

120+B = 180

B = 180 - 120

B = 60 degrees

So,

third option is the correct answer ..
