A local high school held a two-day fundraiser selling lunches. The equations shown represent the amount of money the school coll

ected during the two days. {12x + 4y = 152} {32x + 12y = 420} In the equations, x represents the cost of a chicken lunch and y represents the cost of a vegetarian lunch. Which is the cost of the vegetarian lunch?

The given equations are

12x + 4y = 152 ...........1

32x + 12y = 420 .....2

Multiplying equation 1 by 3 to make  coefficient of y same we have:

36x+12y= 456

32x+12y=420

Subtracting the two equations we have:

4x=36.

Dividing by 4 both sides

x= 9.

Substituting x value in equation 1

12(9) + 4y = 152

108+4y=152

Subtracting 108 both sides: 4y=44.

Dividing both sides by 4.

y=11.

cost of the vegetarian lunch is $11.


In the equations, x represents the cost of a chicken lunch and y represents the cost of a vegetarian lunch.

What is the volume of a cone that has a height of 10 feet and a base with a diameter of 2 and half feet?
lyudmila [28]
Volume of a cone: 1/3\pir²h
r is the radius (diameter ÷ 2) and h is the height.

Find the radius first using the diameter: 2\frac{1} {2} ÷ 2 = 1.25

Now plug in the numbers into the formula.

1/3\pi1.25²10 = <span>16.4
</span>
The volume of the cone is 16.4 cubic feet.

The diet will include <u>123.75 </u>daily grams of protein

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

One variable linear equation is an equation that has a variable and the exponent number is one.  

Can be stated in the form:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{ax=b}}

or  

ax + b = c, where a, b, and c are constants, x is a variable  

We complete the task :

A nutritionist planning a diet for a football player wants him to consume 3,500 Calories and 725 grams of food daily. Calories from fat and protein will be 45% of the total Calories. There are 4, 4, and 9 Calories per gram for protein, carbohydrates, and fat, respectively. How many daily grams of protein will the diet include?

  • 243.75
  • 481.25
  • 123.75
  • 120

Calories from fat and protein will be 45% (0.45) of the total Calories

Calories from fat and protein = 0.45 x 3500 = 1575 calories

Calories from carbohydrates = 3500 - 1575 = 1925 calories

So mass for carbohydrates = 1925 : 4(4 calories/gram) = 481.25 grams

Then mass for fat and protein = 725 - 481.25 = 243.75 grams

We can make equation for fat and protein

1. 4 calories. mass of protein(p) + 9 calories . mass of fat(f) = 1575 calories

2. mass of protein(p) + mass of fat(f) = 243.75

we can simplify :

1. 4p+9f = 1575

2. p + f = 243.75 ⇒ f = 243.75 - p

we substitute equation 2 into equation 1 :

4p + 9(243.75-p) = 1575

4p + 2193.75-9p=1575

-5p = -618.75

p = 123.75

Find the larger of the two roots of the equation y = -2.2x2 + 63.5x - 17
Luden [163]

The larger of the two roots of the equation y = -2.2x^2 + 63.5x - 17would be 28.59.

<h3>How to find the roots of a quadratic equation?</h3>

Suppose that the given quadratic equation is

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

Then its roots are given as:

x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

The given quadratic equation is

y = -2.2x^2 + 63.5x - 17

now, the roots of the equation are

x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm \sqrt{63.5^2 - 4(-2.2)(-17)}}{2(-2.2)}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm \sqrt{4032.25 - 149.6}}{(-4.4)}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm \sqrt{3882.65}}{(-4.4)}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm 62.31}{(-4.4)}

The two roots are 0.27 and 28.59.

Thus, the larger of the two roots of the equation y = -2.2x^2 + 63.5x - 17would be 28.59.
