Here are the equations that are represented by the scenarios:

4x + 2y = $14 (Joe)
3x + y = $9 (Becca) or y = 9 - 3x

To find the cost of each burger and fry you will solve the second equation for y and substitute it in for the y in the first equation.  This will put everything in terms of x, the price of a fry.

4x + 2(9 - 3x) = $14
4x + 18 - 6x = 14
-2x +18 = 14
     -18     -18
    <u>-2x</u> = <u>-4</u>
    -2      -2
     x = 2

Fry cost $2, and burgers cost (9 - 3 x 2) or $3.

Drag each tile to the correct box. Each tile shows an investor's tax bracket along with the tax-free yield of a bond the investo
shusha [124]

The tax bracket and tax-free yield will be (18%, 3%) < (32%, 3%) < (32% , 4%) < (22% , 5%) < (24% , 6%) .

<h3>Taxable equivalent yield based problem:</h3>

The taxable equivalent yield will be:

= Tax-free yield / (100 - Tax bracket)

Taxable equivalent yield =  3 / (100 - 18) = 0.03659

Taxable equivalent yield = 6 / (100 - 24) = 0.07895

Taxable equivalent yield = 3 / (100 - 32) = 0.04412

Taxable equivalent yield = 5 / (100 - 22) = 0.06410

Taxable equivalent yield = 4 / (100 - 32) = 0.05882

A rectangular flower bed that is 5 ft long and 4 feet wide is surrounded by a square lawn that is
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

124 ft2

Step-by-step explanation:

The yard is a 12ft square so the length and width would both be 12ft. You multiply the length and width of the yard to get the area of the yard so 12x12=144. You have the length and width of the flower bed so 5x4=20. Once you have the area of both you can subtract the area the flower bed takes up of the lawn. 144-20=124 ft2.
