$16 was only for the layer.
$52-$16= cost of the cupcakes in total.
$36=cost of all cupcakes
36/24= cost of one cupcake
1.5= cost of one cupcake

each cupcake costs $1.50

Your equation is 24x + 16 = 52 where x is the cost of each individual cupcake.

First step is to take away the 16 from each side so that we only have the cupcakes to deal with the overall cost without the cake.

52 - 16 = 36.

Your new equation is 24x = 36

Divide both sides by 24 to isolate the variable x.

x = 36/24 = 1.5 or 1.50

The cost of each cupcake is $1.50.

Point B has coordinates ​(3​,2​). The​ x-coordinate of point A is negative 9. The distance between point A and point B is 15 uni
kumpel [21]

Answer:

(-9,9) or (-9,-7) are the possible coordinates

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula for the distance between two points to get this

Mathematically, this can be;

d = √(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2

Now let our point A be (x1,y1) = (-9,n)

let’s say y1 is n for now

For point B, we have (x2,y2) = (3,2)

and our d is 15 units

Inputing the values, we have

15^2 = (3+9)^2 + (2-n)^2

225 = 144 + (2-n)^2

225-144 = (2-n)^2

(2-n)^2 = 81

(2-n) = √(81)

2-n = -9

or 2-n = 9

n = 11 or n = -7

Now the possible coordinate values of point A are;

(-9,9) or (-9,-7)

Which of the following is true of the discriminant for the graph below
aniked [119]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant is used to determine the number and nature of the zeros of a quadratic. If the discriminant is positive and a perfect square, there are 2 rational zeros; if the discriminant is positive and not a perfect square, there are 2 rational complex zeros; if the discriminant is 0, there is 1 rational root; if the discriminant is negative, there are no real roots.

The roots/solutions/zeros of a quadratic are where the graph goes through the x axis. Those are the real zeros, even if they don't fall exactly on a number like 1 or 2 or 3; they can fall on 1.32, 4.35, etc. They are still real. If the graph doesn't go through the x-axis at all, the zeros are imaginary because the discriminant was negative and you can't take the square root of a negative number. As you can see on our graph, the parabola never goes through the x-axis. Therefore, the zeros are imaginary because the discriminant was negative. Choice C.  Get familiar with your discriminants and the nature of quadratic solutions. Your life will be much easier!
