Hotdogs = $1.00
hamburgers = $1.75

5 hotdogs + 4 hamburgers = $12.00
4 hotdogs + 5 hamburgers = $12.75
hotdogs = x
hamburgers = y

5x + 4y = 12
4x + 5y = 12.75
subtract the second equation from the first:
(5x + 4y = 12) - (4x + 5y = 12.75) =
1x - 1y = -0.75
x + 0.75 = y ( this means one hotdog plus $0.75 equals one hamburger)
now substitute "y" for "x + 0.75" in either equation to find x ( I used the first equation)
5x + 4y = 12
5x + 4( x + 0.75) = 12
5x + 4x + 3 = 12
9x + 3 = 12
9x = 9
x = 1 ( one hotdog costs $1.00)
now substitute 1 for "x" in either equation to find y ( I used the first equation again)
5x + 4y = 12
5(1) + 4y = 12
5 + 4y = 12
4y = 7
y = 1.75 ( one hamburger costs $1.75)

checking answers with either equation ( input $1.00 for hotdogs and $1.75 for hamburgers):
equation 1:
5 hotdogs + 4 hamburgers = $12.00
5($1.00) + 4($1.75) = $12.00
$5.00 + $7.00 = $12.00
$12.00 = $12.00 ✔

equation 2:
4 hotdogs + 5 hamburgers = $12.75
4($1.00) + 5($1.75) = $12.75
$4.00 + $8.75 = $12.75
$12.75 = $12.75 ✔

Answer:

The third graph down

Step-by-step explanation:

-2.1 w > 12.81

Divide each side by -2.1, remembering to flip the inequality

-2.1w / -2.1 < 12.81/ -2.1

w < -6.1

There is an open circle at -6.1 and the line goes to the left

WILL REWARD THE BRAINLIEST
Gnom [1K]

Answers and Step-by-step explanations:

9-18.

a) All the angles of a triangle add up to 180, by definition. So, we can write the expression: 30 + 115 + x = 180.

Then, we can just solve for x by subtracting 30 and 115 from both sides:

x = 180 - 115 - 30 = 35 degrees

b) Again all three angles should add up to 180, so:

x + x + x = 180  ⇒  3x = 180  ⇒  x = 180/3 = 60 degrees

9-19.

a) These angles add up to 180:

2x + x + 30 = 180  ⇒  3x + 30 = 180  ⇒  3x = 150  ⇒  x = 50

2x = 50 * 2 = 100

The missing angles are 100 degrees and 50 degrees.

b) Again, these add up to 180:

x + 10 + x + 90 = 180  ⇒  2x + 100 = 180  ⇒  2x = 80  ⇒  x = 40

x + 10 = 40 + 10 = 50

The missing angles are 50 degrees and 40 degrees.

Hope this helps!

How do you multiply decimals?
Ulleksa [173]
I found this online, hope it helps


Just follow these steps:
Multiply normally, ignoring the decimal points.
Then put the decimal point in the answer - it will have as many decimal places as the two original numbers combined.
