Substituting x-4=y and -5y+8x=29

The Miller family visited Mama's Kitchen and ordered 4 hamburgers and 3 medium fries and paid $18.69. James ordered a medium dri

sergij07 [2.7K]

To answer the question, let x be the cost of each hamburger, y be the cost of each medium fries, and z be the cost of each medium drink. The equations that are described in the problem are,
(Miller ) 4x + 3y = 18.69
(James) x + 2y + z = 8.66
(Steven) 2x + y + z = 10.27
Solving simultaneously for the values of the variables give x = 3.36, y = 1.75, and z = 1.8.
Thus, each hamburger costs $3.36. Each medium fries cost $1.75, and each drink costs $1.8.

A square coffee shop has sides that are 5 meters long. What is the coffee shop's area?

g100num [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find the area, you have to use this formula:

Formula:

LxW

L: length

W: Width

Here we have a square, and the sides are all 5 meters long, that means that we have to just do 5x5 to get the answer.

5x5=?

Hope ya remember the 5 table, lol, I know everyone does

5x5=25

so hence, your answer is 25m²

Thanks!

A line goes through the points (5, -1) and (7, -5). What is a possible equation to a new line that is perpendicular?

Leya [2.2K]

Ok, so you are given an equation in standard form, 5x+4y=2, and a point, (7, 5). You are being asked to write the equation for a line that is parallel to the equation in standard from, and that includes the point (7, 5).

First, let's start by finding the slope of your new line. We know that it needs to have the same slope as 5x+4y=2, because parallel lines have the same slopes. To do that, we need to put the equation into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), which means we need to isolate the "y."

5x+4y=2

-5x -5x (subtract 5x from both sides to move it to the right side of your equation)

4y = 2 - 5x

/4 /4 /4 (divide all the terms by 4 to get "y" by itself)

y = (1/2) - (5/4)x ... I suggest leaving your slope as a fraction.

Now, we know that our slope, m , is going to be -(5/4).

Next, we are going to use our slope, -(5/4), and point, (7, 5), to find the b-value (y-intercept) of your new line. Let's plug in what we know:

y = 5

m = -(5/4)

x = 7

y=mx+b

5=(-5/4)(7) + b -> I plugged in what we knew for y, m, and x.

5 = -(35/4) + b -> I multiplied the numbers in the numerator (5 x 7) to get 35/4

20/4 = -(35/4) + b -> I converted 5 into a faction with a denominator of 4 by multiplying by (4/4)

+(35/4) +(35/4) -> I add (35/4) to both sides to isolate b

55/4 = b ... or b = 13.74

Answer:

m = -(5/4)

b = 13.75

Two kinds of fish can be found in a small tank that is 5 1/7 feet long. The blue fish is 2 /15 feet long and the orange fish is

Romashka [77]

17/30 feet
Explanation:
Blue fish: 2/15 feet long
Orange fish: 7/10 feet long

Subtract the orange fish’s length by the blue fish’s:
7/10 - 2/15
Find LCD- 30
Multiply both denominators of each fraction by a number that makes both 30 (whatever that number is multiply that also to both nunerators):
7 • 3 / 10 • 3 = 21/30
2 • 2 / 15 • 2 = 4/30

SUBTRACT:
21/30 - 4/30 = 17/30
FINAL ANSWER: the orange fish is 17/30 feet longer than the blue fish.

The data below represents the number of minutes Jake and Sarah spent doing chores

hichkok12 [17]

-

The median number of minutes for Jake and Sarah are equal, but the mean numbers are different.

-

For this, you never said the choices, but I’ve done this before, so I’m going to use the answer choices I had, and hopefully they are right.

Our choices are -

• The median number of minutes for Jake is higher than the median number of minutes for Sarah.

• The mean number of minutes for Sarah is higher than the mean number of minutes for Jake.

• The mean number of minutes for Jake and Sarah are equal, but the median number of minutes are different.

• The median number of minutes for Jake and Sarah are equal, but the mean number of minutes are different.

————————

So to answer the question, we neee to find the median and mean for each data set, so -

Jack = [90 median] [89.6 mean]
Sarah = [90 median] [89.5 mean]

We can clearly see the median for both is 90, so we can eliminate all the choices that say they are unequal.

We can also see that Jack has a higher mean (89.6) compared to Sarah (89.5).

We can eliminate all the choices that don’t imply that too.

That leaves us with -

• The median number of minutes for Jake and Sarah are equal, but the mean number of minutes are different.
