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.

What is the square root of 16x36?<br><br> 4x6<br> 4x18<br> 8x6<br> 8x18
Ksenya-84 [330]
To obtain the square root of 16x^36, the coefficient portion (16) will not present any problems since 16 is a perfect square. However, for a variable with an exponent, the exponent is to be multiplied by 1/2 since the square root symbol is equal to raising the term inside to the power of 1/2. This is shown below:

sqrt (16 x^36) = 4 * x^36(1/2) = 4 * x^18

Therefore, the correct answer is 4x^18.
