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.

use the plot of the concentration of cu(no3)3 versus absorbance provided. if the absorbance of an unknown was determined to be 0
Helen [10]

Using the linear regression equation, the concentration of the unknown solution is 0.2161 M.

Linear regression describes the relationship of two variables. It may not be exact but it is the line that best fit the data. The equation for a linear regression is in the form y = bx + a, where x and y are the two variables.

If the absorbance of an unknown was determined to be 0.67 absorbance units, using the linear regression equation provided from the plot, substitute the value of absorbance to the variable y and solve for the value of x or the concentration.

y = 3.8674x - 0.1657

0.67 = 3.8674x - 0.1657

3.8674x = 0.67 + 0.1657

3.8674x = 0.8357

x = 0.2161

Hence, the concentration is 0.2161 M.

PLEASE HELP Complete the table with the number of sit-ups you have to do sunday so that the mean number of sit-ups per day is 10
klemol [59]

The complete table will be:

Monday - 100\\ Tuesday-65\\ Wednesday- 120\\ Thursday-150\\ Friday-90\\ Saturday- 0\\ Sunday-175

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Suppose, the number of sit-ups in Sunday is x

Mean is the simple average of some numbers. <u>For finding the mean number</u> of sit-ups per day, we need to <u>divide the 'total number of sit-ups' by the 'total number of days'</u>.

Here the total number of days is 7 and the total number of sit-ups for 7 days = 100+65+120+150+90+0+x= 525+x

Given that, the mean number of sit-ups per day is 100. So, the equation will be...

\frac{525+x}{7}=100\\ \\ 525+x=700\\ \\ x= 700-525=175

So, the number of sit-ups you have to do Sunday is 175.
