Drinks, x, and popcorn, y.
125.50 = 12y+7x
87.50=6y+8x

To solve for the cost of drinks, x, isolate the variable
125.50 = 12y + 7x
subtract 12y from both sides
125.50 - 12y = 7x
divide both sides by 7
125.50/7 -12/7y = x

plug that into the other equation
<span>87.50=6y+8x
87.50 = 6y + 8(125.50/7 - 12/7y)
Distribute </span><span>8(125.50/7 - 12/7y)
Then combine like terms
then subtract and divide to isolate y</span>
Solve for y
y = 7.25

Plug that into the first equation to solve for x
<span>125.50 = 12y+7x
125.50 = 12(7.25) + 7x
125.50 = 87 + 7x
subtract 87 from both sides
38.5 = 7x
divide both sides by 7
5.5 = x

There, you have the cost of the drinks, $5.5, and the cost of the popcorn, $7.25.

To check: you would plug in what you got for x and y into the original equations and see if they equal right... I did it on paper and it was right!!

Hope this helps</span>

difference of 2 sides < x < sum of 2 sides , that is

18 - 2 < x < 18 + 2

16 < x < 20

Then the largest possible length of the third side is 19

To pay for a $23,600 motorcycle, Raphael made a down payment of $3300 and took out a loan for the rest .on the loan, he paid mon
Zolol [24]

Answer:

-Total amount Rafael ended up paying for the motorcycle: $25,186.2

-Interest: $1,586.2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the total amount Rafael ended up paying by adding up the down payment plus the result of multiplying the monthly payment for the number of months he paid:

Total payment=3,300+(364,77*60)

Total payment=3,300+21,886.2

Total payment=25,186.2

Now, to calculate the amount of interest that Raphael paid on the loan, you should subtract the price of the motorcycle from the total amount Raphael paid:

Interest=$25,186.2-$23,600

Interest=$1,586.2
