Answer:

  11

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equations appear to be ...

  • 12x +4y = 152
  • 32x +12y = 420

These can be solved for y using Cramer's rule:

  y = (152(32) -420(12))/(4(32) -12(12)) = -176/-16 = 11

The cost of the vegetarian lunch is 11.

_____

<em>Comment on Cramer's Rule</em>

For equations ...

  ax +by =c

  dx +ey = f

The solutions are ...

  x = (bf -ey)/(bd -ea)

  y = (cd -fa)/(bd -ea) . . . . note the denominators are the same expression

Once you memorize the pattern of products, this can be the simplest way to solve a pair of equations--especially if you only need one of the variable values.

Which expression is equivalent to 5y^3/(5y)^-2​
Serggg [28]

Answer:

5^3  y^5

125 y^5

Step-by-step explanation:

5y^3/(5y)^-2​

Distribute the exponent in the denominator

5y^3/(5 ^-2 y^-2)

A negative exponent in the denominator brings it to the numerator

5y^3 5 ^2 y^2​​

Combine like terms

5 * 5^2  * y^3 5^2

We know that a^b * a^c = a^(b+c)

5^(1+2) * y^( 3+2)

5^3  y^5

125 y^5
