Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the length of the whole line and its two halves. Since JK and KL make up the line JL, adding them together would make the line JL.
Now we can plug the value of back into the expression we were given for the line KL.
Answer:
Jordan got 222 calories from pizza
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
slices of pizza ate by Kasey =10
cups of fruit salad by Kasey= 5
slices of pizza ate by Jordan = 6
cups of fruit salad by Jordan= 7
Kasey's calorie count = 3070
Jordan calorie count = 2522
To Find:
calories Jordan got from pizza =?
Solution:
Let the calorie of one slice of pizza be x
and the calorie of one cup of fruit salad be y
According to the question, the equation that represents the Kasey's Scenario is
10x + 5y = 3070-------------------------------------(1)
Similarly the equation that represents the Jordan Scenario is
6x + 7y = 2522--------------------------------------(2)
multiply eq(1) by 6 we get
60x + 30y = 18420---------------------------------(3)
multiply eq(2) by 10 we get,
60x + 70y = 25220----------------------------------(4)
Subtracting eq (3) from (4) we get
60x + 70y = 25220
60x + 30y = 18420
(-) (-) (-)
-----------------------------------
0x + 40y = 6800
---------------------------------
=>40 y = 6800
=>y =
=> y = 170
So calorie of one cup fruit salad is = 170 calories
substituting the y values in eq 1 we get
10x + 5(170) = 3070
10x + 850 = 3070
10x = 3070 - 850
10x = 2220
x =
x= 222
So calorie of one pizza slice = 222 calories
Now we know that Jordan ate 6 slices of pizza
calories Jordan get from pizza = number of pizza he ate X calore per pizza slice
=> 6 x 222
=>1332 calories
