The answer to this question is C, I can explain it if you would like.
Answer:
A salad costs $2.50
A sandwich costs $4.50
A drink costs $1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the salad, y represent the sandwich, and z represent the drink.
Since three salads, two sandwiches, and one drink cost $17.75:
3x + 2y + z = 17.75 (1)
Since one salad, one sandwich, and three drinks cost $10.75:
x + y + 3z = 10.75 (2)
Since a salad costs twice as much as a drink:
x = 2z (3)
Multiply the equation 2 by -2 then, sum the equation 1 and equation 2:
-2x - 2y - 6z = -21.50
3x + 2y + z = 17.75
→ x - 5z = -3.75
Replace the x with 2z using equation 3:
2z - 5z = -3.75
-3z = -3.75
z = 1.25
x = 2z → x = 2.50
x + y + 3z = 10.75 → 2.50 + y + 3.75 = 10.75 → y + 6.25 = 10.75 → y = 4.50
Answer:
7, Nora collected 7 shells.
Step-by-step explanation:
Xavier collected 12 shells whilist she collected 5 fewer then Xavier.
12 - 5 = 7
Therefore, Nora collected 7 shells at the beach.
10 - 2x = -30
-2x = -40
2x = 40
x = 20
Answer:
D)
Step-by-step explanation:
Each longitude has a time difference of 4 minutes.
Convert 4 hours into minutes
4 hours * (60 minutes/1 hour) = 240 minutes
Divide 240 minutes by 4 to obtain the difference in longitude
240/4 = 60
