Let's identify what we are looking for in terms of variables. Sandwiches are s and coffee is c. Casey buys 3 sandwiches, which is represented then by 3s, and 5 cups of coffee, which is represented by 5c. Those all put together on one bill comes to 26. So Casey's equation for his purchases is 3s + 5c = 26. Eric buys 4 sandwiches, 4s, and 2 cups of coffee, 2c, and his total purchase was 23. Eric's equation for his purchases then is 4s + 2c = 23. In order to solve for c, the cost of a cup of coffee, we need to multiply both of those bolded equations by some factor to eliminate the s's. The coefficients on the s terms are 4 and 3. 4 and 3 both go into 12 evenly, so we will multiply the first bolded equation by 4 and the second one by -3 so the s terms cancel out. 4[3s + 5c = 26] means that 12s + 20c = 104. Multiplying the second bolded equation by -3: -3[4s + 2c = 23] means that -12s - 6c = -69. The s terms cancel because 12s - 12s = 0s. We are left with a system of equations that just contain one unknown now, which is c, what we are looking to solve for. 20c = 104 and -6c = -69. Adding those together by the method of elimination (which is what we've been doing all this time), 14c = 35. That means that c = 2.5 and a cup of coffee is $2.50. There you go!
1 bag = $3
2 bags = $6
3 bags = $9
4 bags = $12
5 bags = $15
on the y axis, put the cost
on the x axis, put the number of bags
on the y axis count by 3’s
hope this helps :)
From the information we have, Jack drove 401/2 miles and used a total of 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline.
We need to find out how many miles he travelled per each gallon.
40 1/2 miles can be written as 40.5 miles
1 1/4 gallons can be written as 1.25 gallons.
So now we form an equation.
40.5 = 1.25
x = 1
Where x is the number of miles per gallon
We cross multiply the equation
40.5 * 1 = 1.25 * x
40.5 = 1.25x
40.5 / 1.25 = x
32.4 = x
x = 32 .4
So the unit rate for miles per gallons is 32.4 miles per gallon

Answer:
65°
Step-by-step explanation:
Any sort of bisector divides a geometry into two congruent parts. Here, we have an angle bisector that divides the larger (130°) angle into two equal parts. The measure of each of the resulting smaller angles will be 130°/2 = 65°.
∠JAE = 65°
