4 coffees and 12 lattes. Costs $61

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Cost of a coffee is $2.5 and cost of a latte is $4.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost of 1 coffee be 'c' and cost of 1 latte be 'l' dollars.

Given:

4 coffees and 12 lattes cost $61.

12 coffees and 7 lattes cost $59.75.

∵ 1 coffee cost = $c$

∴ 4 coffees cost = $4c$ and 12 coffee cost = $12c$

∵ 1 latte cost = $l$

∴ 12 lattes cost = $12l$ and 7 lattes cost = $7l$

Now, as per question:

$4c+12l=61-----1\\12c+7l=59.75----2$

Now, multiplying equation (1) by -3 and adding the result to equation (2). This gives,

$-3(4c+12l)=-3(61)\\\\-12c-36l=-183\\12c+7l=59.75\\+\\----------\\0-29l=-123.25\\\\l=\frac{-123.25}{-29}=\$4.25$

Now, plug in the value of 'l' in equation 1 to solve for 'c'. This gives,

$4c+12(4.25)=61\\\\4c+51=61\\\\4c=61-51\\\\4c=10\\\\c=\frac{10}{4}=\$2.5$

Therefore, cost of a coffee is $2.5 and cost of a latte is $4.25.

If a line has a slope of -4 and a u intercept of 1, which of the following is it's graph?

3241004551 [841]

Well. I can't see the picture. But it would be decreasing at a rate of 4 so pick a point on the any line move over to the right one, then down four. And for the y intercept the line would intersect the y axis at positive one. Sorry if that's confusing

Is the binomial a factor of the polynomial nominal function?

Sedbober [7]

The factors for given equation f(x)= $x^{3} +3x^{2} -25x-75$ .

(x-1) - No
(x-3) - No
(x+3) - Yes
(x-5) - Yes
(x+5) - Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is f(x)= $x^{3} +3x^{2} -25x-75$ .

Add 0 at the end of the equation.

$x^{3} +3x^{2} -25x-75$ = 0.

Let us group the given equation,

$(x^{3} +3x^{2}) -(25x-75)$ =0.

⇒ Group 1: $x^{3} +3x^{2}$ .

Group 2: $- 25x +75$ .

Pull out factor from each group,

⇒ Group 1: $(x+3)(x^{2})$ .

Group 2: (x+3) (-25).

Join the two group since both (x+3) is common in both groups.

$(x+3)(x^{2} -25)$ =0.

One of the factor is (x+3).

Other factors are solved by the formula, $a^{2}-b^{2} = (a+b) (a-b)$ .

$(x+3)(x^{2} -25)$ = (x+5) (x-5) .

The other factors are (x+5) and (x-5).
