In One hour a bakery sold five muffins and nine bagels for a total of $25.50 the next hour the bakery sold three muffins and 12

bagels for a total of $28.50 let M represent the price of one muffin and B represent the cost of one bagel Draco wrote the following system of linear equations to solve for the cost of each item.
5m+9b=28.50
3m+12b=25.50

What is Draco’s error?
A.) Draco should have set the first equation equal to 25.50 and the second equation equal to 28.50.
B.) Draco should have written the first equation as 3m+9b= 25.50.
C.) Draco should have written 9b in the second equation and 12b in the first equation.
D.) Draco should have written the second equation as 5m+12b=28.50.

Answer:

Option A is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:  

We have been given the system of linear equations written by Draco. We are asked to find Draco's error.

Let us form a system of equations using our given information.

Let m represent the price of one muffin and b represent the cost of one bagel.

We are told that in one hour a bakery sold five muffins and nine bagels for a total of $25.50. We can represent this information in an equation as:

5m+9b=25.50...(1)

The next hour the bakery sold three muffins and 12 bagels for a total of $28.50. We can represent this information in an equation as:

3m+12b=28.50...(2)

Now let us see system of equations written by Draco.

5m+9b=28.50

3m+12b=25.50

We can see that Draco has set the price of 5 muffins and 9 bagels equal to $28.50, which is the price of 3 muffins and 12 bagels.

Therefore, Draco should have set the first equation equal to 25.50 and the second equation equal to 28.50. The correct choice is option A.

C<br> Solve for m:<br> 3/4m - 3 = 9<br> May I please have help!
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

m=16

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :  3/4*m-3-(9)=0

Step 1: Simplify 3/4

Equation at the end of step 1: ((3/4 x m) - 3) - 9 = 0

Step2: Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  4  as the denominator :

        3     3 • 4

   3 =  —  =  —————

        1       4  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

3m - (3 • 4)                               3m - 12

—————4———————  =  ———4————

When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 3•(m-16)

 ———————— • 4 = 0 • 4

    4    

Now, on the left hand side, the  4  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  3  •  (m-16)  = 0

6.2      Solve :    3   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solve  :    m-16 = 0

Add  16  to both sides of the equation :

                     m = 16

The diameter of a tire is 2.5 ft. Use this measurement to answer parts a and b. Show all work to receive full credit.
konstantin123 [22]
Thank you for posting your question here. Please see below answers for the problem above:

a. to find the circumference of the tire you need to multiply 3.14 by 2.5:
 = 3.14 x 2.5
 = 7.85 to round of it will be 8

b. to get the number of times the tire have to rotate to travel 1 mile:

1 mile = 5,280 ft
1 rotation is 7.85 
5,280/7.85 = 672.611465
