Answer:the cost of each dark chocolate truffle is $6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W represent the cost of each white chocolate truffle.

Let D represent the cost of each dark chocolate truffle.

Four white chocolate truffles (W) cost the same as three dark chocolate truffles (D). This means that

4W = 3D

If the parent bought 3 white chocolate truffles(W) and 6 dark chocolate truffles (D), and spent $49.50. It means that

3W + 6D = 49.5 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting W = 3D/4 into into equation 1, it becomes

3(3D/4) + 6D = 49.5

2.25D + 6D = 49.5

8.25D = 49.5

D = 49.5/8.25 = 6

Substituting D = 6 into

W = 3 × 6/4 = 4.5

Answer:

Each dark chocolate tuffle was $6.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

Four white chocolate truffles (W) cost the same as three dark chocolate truffles (D).

So 4W = 3D

The parent bought 3 white chocolate truffles(W) and 6 dark chocolate truffles (D), and spent $49.50.

3W + 6D = 49.50

4W = 3D

So

D = \frac{4W}{3}

3W + 6D = 49.50

3W + 8W = 49.50

11W = 49.5

W = 4.5

D = \frac{4W}{3} = \frac{4*4.5}{3} = 6

Each dark chocolate tuffle was $6.

6 - 2x = 6x = 10 + 6
Natalija [7]

Answer:Simplifying

6 + -2x = 6x + -10x + 6

Reorder the terms:

6 + -2x = 6 + 6x + -10x

Combine like terms: 6x + -10x = -4x

6 + -2x = 6 + -4x

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 + -2x = 6 + -6 + -4x

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 + -2x = 6 + -6 + -4x

-2x = 6 + -6 + -4x

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

-2x = 0 + -4x

-2x = -4x

Solving

-2x = -4x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '4x' to each side of the equation.

-2x + 4x = -4x + 4x

Combine like terms: -2x + 4x = 2x

2x = -4x + 4x

Combine like terms: -4x + 4x = 0

2x = 0

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 0

Simplifying

x = 0

Trigonometry
Nadusha1986 [10]

55° is equal to 0.9599 radians.  

Step-by-step explanation:  

Step 1:  

If an angle is represented in degrees, it will be of the form x°.  

If an angle is represented in radians, it will be of the form \frac{\pi}{x}radians.  

To convert degrees to radians, we multiply the degree measure by \frac{\pi}{180}.

For the conversion of degrees to radians,

the degrees in radians = (given value in degrees)(\frac{\pi}{180}).

Step 2:

To convert 50°,  

55\left(\frac{\pi}{180}\right)=\frac{55\pi}{180}.

0.3055 (\pi) =0.9599 radians.

So 55° is equal to 0.9599 radians.
