Answer:

the price of each soda is $1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that there are two unknowns; the price of each soda  (let's assign the letter "s" to it), and the price of the basket of fries 9let's assign the letter "b" to it)

We can then write two equations using the information on the total price for each order:

(a)    4 s + 4 b = 16

(b)   4 s + 3 b = 13.75

we can now subtract term by term equation (b) from equation (a), and obtain:

4 s - 4 s + 4 b - 3 b =  16 - 13.75

0 + b = 2.25

So now that we know the price of each basket of fries ($ 2.25) , we can use that info in either equation and solve for "s". Let's use equation (a) for example:

4 s + 4 (2.25) = 16

4 s + 9 = 16

4 s = 16 - 9

4 s = 7

s = 7/4

s = 1.75

So, the price of each soda is $1.75

1..) 2x +15 = 35 
Masja [62]

Answer:

1) x=10

2) x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

2x+15=35

Subtract 15 from both sides

2x=20

Divide both sides by 2

x=10

2(10)+15=35

20+15=35

35=35

this shows that 10 is the right answer

2)

7x-3=18

Add 3 to both sides

7x=21

Divide both sides by 7

x=3

7(3)-3=18

21-3=18

18=18

this shows that 3 is the right answer

Hope this helps

A car is designed to last an average of 12 years with a standard deviation of 0.8 years. What is the probability that a car will
Scorpion4ik [409]
Due to the common probability formula I can solve that task. Refering to the task you gave, we have all the information we need. We solve it like that: \frac{10-12}{0.8} = -2.5; Probability(-2.5)=.0.00621; Probability = 0.621%
So the answer is the first option <span>0.621%</span>
