Write an equation system based on the problem
For an instance, e stands for the price of a carton of eggs, and b stands for the price of a loaf of bread

"Kate bought 3 cartons of eggs and 5 loaves of bread for $30.07" could be written as 3e + 5b = 30.07 (first equation)
"Melissa bought 2 cartons of eggs and 2 loaves of bread for $14.74" could be written as 2e + 2b = 14.74 (second equation)

Solve the equation system using elimination method
Eliminate b to find e. To eliminate b, we should equalize the coefficient of b.
3e + 5b = 30.07 (multiplied by 2)
2e + 2b = 14.74 (multiplied by 5)
-------------------------------------------
  6e + 10b = 60.14
10e + 10b = 73.70
------------------------- - (substract)
-4e            = -13.56
   e            = -13.56/-4
   e            = 3.39

The price for a carton of eggs is $3.39

Question is below in picture.

Answer:

<u><em>C. </em></u>\sqrt{89}<u><em> cm</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>First, we can start out by stating that this is a </em></u><u><em>right triangle</em></u><u><em>, since </em></u><u><em>it has a right angle</em></u><u><em>, shown by the marker square in the corner of the triangle. </em></u><u><em>The x part, is called the hypotenuse</em></u><u><em>. When finding the value of the hypotenuse, we use a thing called the </em></u><u><em>Pythagorean Theorem.</em></u><u><em> This theorem is :</em></u>

<u><em>a^2 + b^2 = c^2</em></u>

<u><em>a is one side length, and b is the other. c is the hypotenuse.</em></u><u><em> To find x, the hypotenuse, we simply </em></u><u><em>plug in the values, and solve.</em></u>

<u><em>8^2 + 5^2 = c^2</em></u>

<u><em>64 + 25 = c^2</em></u>

<u><em>89 = c^2</em></u>

<u><em>To get c alone, we do the </em></u><u><em>square root of 89.</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>\sqrt{89}<u><em> = c</em></u>

<u><em>9.43398113 = c</em></u>

<u><em>So, the answer is </em></u><u><em>C. </em></u>\sqrt{89}<u><em> cm</em></u>
