Suppose there are 12 equal parts of the house to be cleaned. Max can do 1 per hour, and Maggie can do 3 per hour.

The number of units they can do together in x hours is x+3x. Since there are 12 units to do, x+3x=12. For x=3 this is true, so the sister was right!

The sister is correct, because if you divide 12 by 4 your answer is 3 hours.

Mr. Smith goes to the concession stand and buys 2 soft pretzels and 1 cheeseburger for $8.25. Mr. Martin goes to the same conces
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

<em>$4.15</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a cheeseburger be x

Let the cost of a soft pretzels be y

If Mr. Smith goes to the concession stand and buys 2 soft pretzels and 1 cheeseburger for $8.25, this is expressed as;

x + 2y = 8.25 .... 1

Also, if Mr. Martin goes to the same concession stand and buys 1 soft pretzel and 3 cheeseburgers for $13.50, this is expressed as;

3x + y = 13. 50..... 2

The required equations are:

x + 2y = 8.25

3x + y = 13. 50

Find x and y by solving simultaneously:

From 1: x + 2y = 8.25

x = 8.25 - 2y ..... 3

Substitute 3 into 2

3(8.25-2y)+y = 13.50

24.75 - 6y+y = 13.50

24.75 - 5y = 13.50

-5y = 14.50 - 24.75

-5 y = 10.25

y = -10.25/-5

y = 2.05

Since x = 8.25 - 2y

x = 8.25 - 2(2.05)

x = 8.25 - 4.1

x = 4.15

<em>Hence the cost of a cheesburger is $4.15</em>

Help me pls :D giving brainliest
vichka [17]

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

All the degrees of a triangle should add up to 180 degrees.

D = F

D and F are not equal to 90.

If E = 30,  D and F both equal 75.

75(2) + 30 = 180.

Compare partial products and regrouping how the methods are alike and different
shtirl [24]
<span>Partial products are different in regrouping in terms of how numbers are clustered from a set equation as a whole delivering it individual but naturally to all the numbers involved in the set. </span>
Regrouping is just like the commutative or associative property of numbers.
<span>Associative property of addition is used when you want to group addends. This is mainly used to cluster set of numbers or in this case, addends. How do you use the associative property when you break apart addends? Simple you group them using the open and closed parentheses or brackets. Take for an example 1 + 1 + 2 = 4. Using the associative property you can have either (1 + 1) + 2 = 4 or 1 + (1 + 2) = 4 clustered into place.
