Answer:

2x+5y= 37

4x+3y= 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Dan bought 2 tuna and 5 vegetarian sandwiches for $37. Mario bought 4 tuna and 3 vegetarian sandwiches for $39.

To Find: Which system of equations can be used to solve for the cost of each kind of sandwich

Solution:

Let the cost of 1 tuna be x

Cost of 2 tuna = 2x

Cost of 4 tuna = 4x

Let the cost of 1 vegetarian sandwich be y

Cost of 5 sandwiches= 5y

Cost of 3 sandwiches= 3y

Since we are given that Dan bought 2 tuna and 5 vegetarian sandwiches for $37

So, equation becomes: 2x+5y= 37

Mario bought 4 tuna and 3 vegetarian sandwiches for $39.

So, equation becomes: 4x+3y= 39

Hence  system of equations can be used to solve for the cost of each kind of sandwich :

2x+5y= 37

4x+3y= 39

2t+5v=37 and 4t+3v=39 

Solve the first for t

t=18.5-2.5v and use this t in the second equation...

4(18.5-2.5v)+3v=39

74-10v+3v=39

-7v=-35

v=$5.00  and since t=18.5-2.5v

t=$6.00

So tuna sandwiches cost $6.00 and vegetarian sandwiches cost $5.00.

Haeden observed that 65% of her coworkers prefer the local talk news radio station. If 28 of her coworkers do not prefer talk ne
vekshin1

Part A


Let x represent the number of coworkers who prefer the talk news radio.


65% prefer the talk news radio,



100-65=35% will be the percentage that corresponds to coworkers who do not prefer the talk news radio.


Part B


We apply ratio to find x.




65:x



35:28


Hence number that corresponds to 65% will be greater than 28.


If more, less will divide.


This implies that,



x=\frac{65\times 28}{35}=52


Hence 52 of her coworkers prefer the local news talk station.

Solve: 12x^2+5x-4=12^2x+6
Orlov [11]
Subtract the 12x^2 first.
5x - 4 = 6
Add the four
5x = 10
Then divide the 5 from both sides
X = 2

Please help, i’m so behind on my work :(( image attached
gregori [183]

Answer:

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

28x + 4 can be factorised because 28 is a multiple of 4

so it can become

4(7x+1)

35x + 5 can be also factorised because 35 is a multiple of 5

5(7x+1)

we can now rewrite the expression as

6/4(7x+1) * 5(7x+1)/12

we can “eliminate” the two 7x+1 and simplify 6 with 12

so it remains

1/4 * 5/2 = 5/8

54 is 75% of what number?
Furkat [3]
<span>one way to solve this kind of problems is by doing a little bit of reversal 75 % * X = 54 75/100 * X = 54 (we move 75/100 to the right, since it's a fraction the top and bottom number will be reversed) X = 54 * 100/75 X = 5400 / 75 X = 72 Hope I helped! :) Cheers!</span>
