Answer:

C. t=23,r=9 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r represent the cost of one packet of radish seeds and let t represent the cost of one packet of tomato seeds.

Roman spent $62.75

This implies that,

1.75r+2.5t=62.75...eqn1

Roman bought 32 packets of seeds and one packet of radish seeds costs
$ 1.75.
One packet of tomato seeds costs $ 2.50.

This implies that,

r+t=32...eqn2

Using guess and check means we substitute into the given equation.

A) We substitute t=8,r=24 into both equations.

1.75(8)+2.5(24)=62.75...eqn1

14+60\ne 62.75...eqn1

8+24=32...eqn2

Both equations are not satisfied.

B)

We substitute t=9,r=23 into both equations.

1.75(9)+2.5(23)=62.75...eqn1

15.75+57.5\ne 62.75...eqn1

9+23=32...eqn2

Both equations are not satisfied.

C)

We substitute t=23,r=9 into both equations.

1.75(23)+2.5(9)=62.75...eqn1

40.25+22.5 =62.75...eqn1

23+9=32...eqn2

Both equations are satisfied.

Hence the solution is,

t=23,r=9

D) We substitute t=24,r=8 into both equations.

1.75(24)+2.5(8)=62.75...eqn1

42+20\ne 62.75...eqn1

24+8=32...eqn2

Both equations are not satisfied.

Kryger [21]

Answer:

He must sell 8 cards to reach the minimum goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

He wants to earn more than $50 at the fair.

He sells his cards for $2 and he has already earned $36.

<u>First, we need to calculate the money required to reach the minimum goal:</u>

51 - 36= $15

<u>Now, we write the inequality:</u>

2*x >15

x= number of cards sold.

x>15/2

x> 7.5

He must sell 8 cards to reach the minimum goal.

In the figure lines 1, m, and n are parallel. A classmate says you can use the corollary to side-splitter theorem to find x. Exp
defon
Answer: You should not make that assumption in this problem.

The side-splitter theorem is about the line segments that are formed on the transverals themselves. It is not talking about the distances on the set of parallel lines. If you wanted to find the value of x, you should look for another way to prove the relationship involving the x-value.
