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.

When the denominator of \dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}} 3 ​ 2 ​ start fraction, 2, divided by, square root of, 3, end square root, end fract
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

k=\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

On rationalizing the denominator of \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} we get \frac{2k}{3}.

To find value of k.

Solution.

In order to rationalize a radical denominator we will multiply the numerator and denominator with the radical as multiplying same numbers to numerator and denominator does not effect the proportions. This will remove the radical from the denominator.

For the given fraction with radical 3 in denominator, we will rationalize by multiplying numerator and denominator with radical 3.

So, we have

\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}

Rationalizing.

⇒ \frac{2\times\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3}}

⇒ \frac{2\times\sqrt{3}}{(\sqrt{3})^2}

We get,

\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}

On comparing it with the result given which is \frac{2k}{3}

we find out that value of k=\sqrt{3}
