Answer:

He sold 180 chicken sandwiches and 150 burguers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 330 items were sold, then the amount of burguers and chicken sandwiches sold must be equal to this value. From this information we have:

burguers + sandwiches = 330

We know that each burguer cost $9 and each chicken sandwich cost $11.25 and that we made a total of $3,375. So we have:

9*burguers + 11.25*sandwiches = 3,375

From the first equation we have:

burguers = 330 - sandwiches

Applying it on the second equation:

9*(330 - sandwiches) + 11.25*sandwiches = 3,375

2,970 - 9*sandwiches + 11.25*sandwiches = 3,375

2.25*sandwiches = 3,375 - 2,970

2.25*sandwiches = 405

sandwiches = 405/2.25 = 180

So,

burguers = 330 - 180 = 150

He sold 180 chicken sandwiches and 150 burguers.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

1031.25 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

50/24 = x /495

We can use cross products to solve

50 *495 = 24*x

24750 = 24x

Divide each side by 24

24750/24 =24x/24

1031.25 =x

Rewrite by completing the square 2x^2+7x+6=0

Kitty [74]

Answer:

$2x^2+7x+6=0\\\\2(x^2+\frac72x+3)=0\\\\2[x^2+2\cdot x\cdot\frac74+(\frac74)^2-(\frac74)^2+3]=0\\\\2[x^2+2\cdot x\cdot\frac74+(\frac74)^2]-2(\frac74)^2+6=0 \\\\2(x+\frac74)^2-2\cdot\frac{49}{16}+6=0\\\\2(x+\frac74)^2-\frac{49}8+\frac{48}8=0\\\\2(x+\frac74)^2-\frac18=0$
