At a fundraiser breakfast, the bill for three glasses of orange juice and five pancake specials is $7.60, whereas the bill for o

ne glass of orange juice and two pancake specials is $2.90. The system of equation {(3j [email protected] 2p=2.90)┤ represents this situation, where j represents the cost of a glass of orange juice and p represents the cost of a pancake special. What would be the bill for one glass of orange juice and one pancake special?

We have a system of equation:
3j + 5p= $7.60 (1)
j + 2p= $2.90 (2)

Multiply equation (2) by 3:
3j + 6p = $8.70 (3)

Take (3)- (1), we have:
(3j) - (3j) + (6p - 5p) = $8.70- $7.60
⇒ p= $1.10

Now, we use equation (2) to find j:
j= $2.90- 2* $1.10
⇒ j= $0.70

j+ p= $0.70 + $1.10= $1.80

The bill for one glass of orange juice and one pancake special would be $1.80.

Hope this helps~

Ok, so you are looking for the price of the orange juice and the pancake special individually. So, the first step is to declare our variables: 

<span>j = price of the orange juice. </span>
<span>p = price of the pancake special. </span>

<span>So the first bill, translated with our variables is </span>
<span>3j + 5p = 7.60 </span>

<span>The second bill, translated with our variables is </span>
<span>1j + 2p = 2.90 </span>

<span>Now, it says to use the substitution method, so we need to solve one of those equations for one variable. Since in the second equation, we have one term with a coefficient of 1, that will be the easiest to solve for. So we move everything other than that term to the other side. </span>

<span>1j = 2.90 - 2p </span>

<span>Now we have j solved for, we will substitute it into the other equation </span>

<span>3(2.90 - 2p) + 5p = 7.60 </span>

<span>Now we have only one variable, so we just simplify </span>

<span>8.70 - 6p + 5p = 7.60 </span>
<span>-1p = -1.10 </span>
<span>p = 1.10 </span>

<span>Now we know how much the pancake special costs, we can plug this into either of the two original equations and solve for the price of the orange juice. </span>

<span>1j + 2(1.10) = 2.90 </span>
<span>j = 0.70 </span>

<span>Now part c asks for the cost of one orange juice and one pancake special. So, with our variables, that will be: </span>
<span>j + p </span>

<span>We already know the values of these variables, so we can plug them in. </span>

<span>0.70 + 1.10 = $1.80 </span>

<span>2) Linear combination is the same as the addition/elimination method. This means your goal is to add the equations together. But before we do that, we want to multiply one row by some random number so that when we add the rows together, we can get rid of one of the variables. </span>

<span>a - 2b = 2 </span>
<span>a - 1b = 6 </span>

<span>So we have two choices here. We can multiply one of the a's by -1 to make it negative. That way one of them is positive, and the other is negative, and they will cancel when we add them together. OR we can multiply the bottom equation by -2. This will make the b variable in the bottom row a +2b and it will cancel out with the -2b in the top equation. </span>

<span>Both will give you the right answer, so it won't matter which way you go. Since it's a smaller number, I'm going to go with the first way, and multiply the top a by -1. </span>

<span>Note: You need to multiply EVERYTHING in the equation by the number! </span>

<span>-1(1a - 2b = 2) </span>
<span>a - b = 6 </span>

<span>-a + 2b = -2 </span>
<span>a - b = 6 </span>

<span>When you add the rows together, simply add like terms. Notice the a will cancel out. The +2b will add with the -b to make 1b and the -2 will add with the 6 to make 4 </span>

<span>So we have: </span>

<span>1b = 4 </span>

<span>And now we can go back up and plug this info in to solve for the other variable </span>

<span>a - (4) = 6 </span>
<span>a = 10</span>

Can someone help me calculate angles?
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

1.45

2. 135

Explanation:

1.  With a triangle all angles have to add up to 180, so what you would do is add up both angles we already know (43+92=135), then we subtract the sum from 180, (180-135=45) now you know the third angle.

2.  Just like a triangle, when finding angles on a line, it has to add up to 180. We already know that point M has an angle of 45 from the last problem, so all we have to do is subtract 45 from 180 (180-45=135). THats the measurement on TMS

How many terms are there in the sequence 1, 8, 28, 56, ..., 1 ?
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

9 terms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  

1, 8, 28, 56, ..., 1

Required

Determine the number of sequence

To determine the number of sequence, we need to understand how the sequence are generated

The sequence are generated using

\left[\begin{array}{c}n&&r\end{array}\right] = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}

Where n = 8 and r = 0,1....8

When r = 0

\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&0\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-0)!0!} = \frac{8!}{8!0!} = 1

When r = 1

\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&1\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-1)!1!} = \frac{8!}{7!1!} = \frac{8 * 7!}{7! * 1} = \frac{8}{1} = 8

When r = 2

\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&2\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-2)!2!} = \frac{8!}{6!2!} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6!}{6! * 2 *1} = \frac{8 * 7}{2 *1} =2 8

When r = 3

\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&3\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-3)!3!} = \frac{8!}{5!3!} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6 * 5!}{5! *3* 2 *1} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6}{3 *2 *1} = 56

When r = 4

\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&4\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-4)!4!} = \frac{8!}{4!3!} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4!}{4! *4*3* 2 *1} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6*5}{4*3 *2 *1} = 70

When r = 5

\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&5\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-5)!5!} = \frac{8!}{5!3!} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6 * 5!}{5! *3* 2 *1} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6}{3 *2 *1} = 56

When r = 6

\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&6\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-6)!6!} = \frac{8!}{6!2!} = \frac{8 * 7 * 6!}{6! * 2 *1} = \frac{8 * 7}{2 *1} = 28

When r = 7

\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&7\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-7)!7!} = \frac{8!}{7!1!} = \frac{8 * 7!}{7! * 1} = \frac{8}{1} = 8

When r = 8

\left[\begin{array}{c}8&&8\end{array}\right] = \frac{8!}{(8-8)!8!} = \frac{8!}{8!0!} = 1

The full sequence is: 1,8,28,56,70,56,28,8,1

And the number of terms is 9

A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. A delivery of 3 large boxes and 8 small boxes has a t
Verdich [7]

Answer:

The Large Box Weighs 18 kg, and the small box weighs 6.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a= the weight in kg of a large box

Let b= the weight in kg of a small box

Multiply both sides of (1)  by 4 and subtract (2) from (1)

1. 20a+8b=412

2. -3a-8b= -106

17a=306

a=18

and

5*8+2b=103

90+2b=103

2b=13

b=6.5
