5p = 80b
3(5p) = (80b)3
15p = 240b
Lan need 240g of butter to make fish pie for 15 people.
5x-8y=1...(1)
3x+6y=-21...(2)
(1)*3:
15x-24y=3...(3)
(2)*5:
15x+30y=-105...(2)
(3)-(2):
15x-24y-(15x+30y)=3-(-105)
15x-24y-15x-30y=108
-54y=108
y=-2
This is the Pythagorean theorem where the 2 legs of a triangle squared add up to equal the squared hypotenuse (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)
The equation would be
12^2 + 5^2 = x^2
144 + 25 = 169
The square root of 169 = 13
Answer - 13 ft
Answer:
The soda costs 2.20 and the sandwich costs 7.70
Step-by-step explanation:
To find this, set the soda cost as x. We now know that the sandwich cost is 3.5x. Add these together and set equal to 9.90
x + 3.5x = 9.90
4.5x = 9.90
x = 2.20
This is the cost of the soda. Now we can multiply that by 3.5 to get the sandwich cost.
3.5 * 2.20 = 7.70
