We are going to make simultaneous equations.
x will be our $3 ice cream and y will be our $5 ice cream

Equation1 ----            x + y = 50   (the sum of all the ice creams they sell)
Equation 2 ----          3x + 5y = 180  Sum of all the $3 and $5 ice creams is $180
Since we can't solve for both variables we will put one of the variables in terms of the other.
Take x+y=50 and subtract y from both sides.  (I could have done subtracted x - it did not matter).       Now we have x= ₋ y +50  (negative y +50)
Now I am going to take equation 2 and replace the x with -y +50

3 (-y +50) + 5y = 180   
Now I will use the distributive law on the 3 and what's in the parentheses:
-3y + 150 + 5y = 180
Now I will combine like terms (the -3y and the 5y)
2y + 150 = 180
Now subtract 150 from both sides of the equation
2y = 30
Divide both sides by 2
and get y= 15 They sold 15 ice creams that cost $5 each
Since equation 1  is  x+y=50 we can replace y with 15
x + 15 = 50    Now subtract 15 from both sides  x = 35
Since x represents the $3 ice creams, they sold 35 of those.
Check:
35 X 3 = $105
15 x 5  = +  <u>75
</u>               $180

the cost y (in dollars) for x pounds of deli meat is represented by the equation y=3.5x, graph the equation
wel

Answer:

I don't have the graph, but I'll explain what you need to do. Plot a point with the coordinates (1,3.5), (2,7), (3,10.5), and (4,14). Now draw a straight line connecting al these pints but don't go past the origin into the negative as in this situation it is not possible. There! Now you have a graph :)

What’s the measure of A?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer: x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles = 90*

Set the two equations equal to 90. Solve

4x + 6 + 4x - 4 = 90

8x +2 = 90

8x = 88

x = 11

Plug it in to see if it makes equation true

4 (11) + 6 + 4 (11) - 4 = 90

44 + 6 + 44 - 4 = 90

50 + 40 = 90

90 = 90
