The concession stand at the high school football stadium sells hot dogs and sodas. Jack bought 3 hotdogs and 2 sodas for a total
solmaris [256]

Answer: each soda costs $1.5 and each hotdog costs $3.

Step-by-step explanation:

If H is the price for one hotdog and S is the price for one soda, we have the equations:

for Jack.

3*H + 2*S = $12

For Angie.

1*H + 4*S = $9

Now we can isolate one of the variables in one of the equations and then replace it in the other equation, let's isolate H in the second equation:

H = $9 - 4*S

now we replace it in the first eq

3*H + 2*S = $12

3*($9 - 4*S) + 2*S = $12

$27 - 12*S + 2*S = $12

-10*S = $12 - $27 = -$15

S = $15/10 = $1.5

Now we can replace it in the equation for H and get:

H = $9 - 4*$1.5 = $3

So each soda costs $1.5 and each hotdog costs $3.

What is the answer to 2(x - 5) + 7 = x + 8
Verdich [7]
<span>2(x - 5) + 7 = x + 8
Use distributed property
2x - 10 + 7 = x + 8
Add 7 to -10
2x - 3 = x + 8
Subtract x from both sides
x - 3 = 8
Add 3 to both sides
Final Answer: x=11</span>

Which of the binomials below is a factor of this trinomial? 4x2 + 12x + 9A. 2x-3B. 2x-1C. 2x+1D. 2x+3
katrin [286]

In order to factorate the trinomial, let's first find its roots using the quadratic formula:

\begin{gathered} b^2-4ac=12^2-4\cdot4\cdot9=144-144=0 \\ x_1=x_2=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-12+0}{2\cdot4}=-\frac{12}{8}=-\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}

Now we can write the trinomial in the form:

a(x-x_1)(x-x_2)

So we have that:

4x2+12x+9=4(x+\frac{3}{2})(x+\frac{3}{2})=(2x+3)(2x+3)

So 2x + 3 is a factor of the trinomial, therefore the answer is D.
