Two burgers and one hotdog cost $4.82. At the same price ,one burger and two hotdogs cost $3.70. How much does a hotdog cost?

1 answer:

8 0

Hello!

Let's use 'x' to represent the cost of the burger, and 'y' to represent the cost of the hotdog.

2x + y = 482

× + 2y = 370

2x + 47 = 740

-3y = -258

y = 86 cents

2x + 86 = 482

2x = 396

x = 198

A burger costs $1.98 and a hot dog costs $.86

I hope this didn't confuse you, I'm not very good at explaining!

Answer:

The time taken for the flare to hit the ground is approximately 10.7 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Suppose a flare is shot from the top of a 120 foot building at a speed of 160 feet per second. The equation $h =- 16t^2+ 160t + 120$ models the h height at t seconds of the flare.
