Answer:

15 hamburgers were sold and 30 hotdogs were sold.

The systems of equations are x + y = 45 and 4x + 5y = 195.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make two equations.

x + y = 45

This represents the total of hotdogs and hamburgers sold

4x + 5y = 195

This represents the amount of money made for each food.

These are systems of equations, when you use 2 equations to solve a problem. I will use the strategy, Elimination for the following systems of equations. Anyways the goal is to multiply a number to x + y = 45 to cancel out one of the variables in 4x + 5y = 195. In other words, when we add these equations, the sum of the xs or ys will equal 0.

Let's multiply -5 to both x and y.

Now we have -5x -5y = -225 + 4x + 5y= 195

We will end up with -x = -30. This means that x = 30.

Now that we know x = 30, we can plug in 30 as x in one of the equations. I will plug in 30 into x + y = 45. 30 + y = 45.

Solve for y in 30 + y = 45, so y=15.

This means 15 hamburgers were sold and 30 hotdogs were sold.

10,534,341 is divisible by<br> a. 3<br> b. 9<br> c. 2<br> Explain your reasoning for your choice(s).
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

a. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can get to know if a number is divisible by 3 if after adding all the digits of that number we get a number which is completely divisible by 3 or we can say the number appears in the table of 3.

For example: In the given number if we will add all the digits the we will get  21 and we all know that 21 is divisible by 3.

10,534,341 = 1 + 0 + 5 + 3 + 4 + 3 + 4 + 1 = 21

21 = 21/3 = 7

Other options are incorrect.

Divisibility rule for 2 : A number is said to be divisible by 2 if it's ones place ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 i.e. an even number. The given number does not satisfy this condition because it ends in 1 which is an odd number.

Divisibility rule for 9 : A number is said to be divisible by 9 if after adding all the digits of that number we get a number which is completely divisible by 9. Since the sum total of the given number is 21 which is not completely divisible by 9 we can easily infer that 9 is not the answer for this question.
