Answer:

  • drink cost: $1.75
  • slice of pizza cost: $2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d and p represent the costs of a drink and a pizza slice, respectively. The two orders have a value ...

  d + 3p = 8.50

  2d + 2p = 8.00

Subtracting the second equation from twice the first gives ...

  2(d +3p) -(2d +2p) = 2(8.50) -(8.00)

  4p = 9.00 . . . . . simplify

  p = 2.25 . . . . . . divide by 4

Solving the first equation for d and putting in the value, we have

  d = 8.50 -3p = 8.50 -3·2.25 = 8.50 -6.75

  d = 1.75

The cost of a drink is $1.75; the cost of a pizza slice is $2.25.

Is this right? I’m confused for answering either B or C.
boyakko [2]

your profile says you're 22 but I find that painfully challenging to believe. She knits 5 scarves in 2 hours. Divide 10 by 2, you get 5. 5x5 is 25. It's C. You shouldn't need help. This is sad.

A number is 6.14 what way represent the value of the 4 in 6.14
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the value of the 4 in 6.14 is 0.04.

this is because the 4, or in this case 0.04

is in the hundredths place. So it is

suppose to have 0, where the 6 goes (also

the ones or units) The decimal point, another 0

where the 1 goes, ( the tenths) and finally back

to the 4. (Like I said, it’s the hundredths place)

so there you have it. Your answer will be 0.04

Use the substitution method to solve the given system of equations. Write your answer as an ordered pair, (x, y).
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

(-3, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the second equation, we can easily rearrange it to make x the subject.

x - 4y = 5

x = 4y + 5

Now lets put that into the second equation

2x - 2y = -2

2(4y + 5) - 2y = -2

6y + 10 = -2

6y = -12

y = -2

Now lets find x!

x = 4y + 5

x = 4(-2) + 5

x = -3

Now lets format the answer like the question says (ordered pair)

(-3, -2)

Recap: We used substitution and made an equation to work out one of the variables first, then found the second variable using the first.
