Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using substitution, and fill in the blanks.The members of a c

ooking club are making cakes, which they will sell at a street fair for $18 apiece. It cost $17 for a booth at the fair, and the ingredients for each cake cost $1. At some point, the club members will sell enough cakes so that their sales cover their expenditures. How many cakes will they have sold? How much will the sales and expenditures be?

Let:

C = Total cost

R = Total revenue

x = Number of cakes

a = Cost of the ingredients for each cake = $1

b = Cost of a booth at the fair = $17

c = Selling price of each cake = $18

Therefore:

\begin{gathered} C=ax+b \\ C=x+17 \\ ------- \\ R=18x \end{gathered}

At some point, the club members will sell enough cakes so that their sales cover their expenditures. Therefore:

\begin{gathered} C=R \\ x+17=18x \\ _{\text{ }}solve_{\text{ }}for_{\text{ }}x\colon \\ 18x-x=17 \\ 17x=17 \\ x=\frac{17}{17} \\ x=1 \end{gathered}

Answer:

1 cake and $18

In ΔWXY, the measure of ∠Y=90°, XW = 53, YX = 28, and WY = 45. What is the value of the cosine of ∠X to the nearest hundredth?
kotegsom [21]

The value of ∠X = 58.11°, If ΔWXY, the measure of ∠Y=90°, XW = 53, YX = 28, and WY = 45.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

                   In ΔWXY, ∠Y=90°

                        XW = 53

                         YX = 28

                        WY = 45

Step:1

             Ref the attachment,

             Given triangle XWY is right angled triangle.

             Trigonometric ratio's,

                              Cos ∅  = \frac{Adj}{Hyp}    

             For the given attachment, the trigonometric ratio becomes,

                              Cos ∅  = \frac{XY}{XW}.....................................(1)

             Let, ∠X = ∅

             Where, XY = 28

                         XW =  53

             Equation (1) becomes,

                                 Cos ∅  = \frac{28}{53}

                                 Cos ∅ = 0.5283

                                        ∅ = cos^{-1} (0.5283)

                                        ∅ = 58.109°

Result:

          The value of ∠X = 58.11°, If ΔWXY, the measure of ∠Y=90°, XW = 53, YX = 28, and WY = 45.

Have no clue on this please help
NemiM [27]

The answer would be D) dilated by a scale factor of 3

Proof :

A is at (-2, 1), A' is at (-6, 3) Try multiplying -2 by 3 = 6, 1 x 3 = 3.

I hope this makes sense and helps.

Graph the image of V(10, - 3) after a rotation 180° counterclockwise around the origin.
MAXImum [283]
Well, it would basically go from y to -y and x to -x


180, means if it was 10 to left and 3 down, it is now 10 to right and 3 up

(10,-3) to (-10,3)
