Hi, Siyasi2 ! Let x = the number of hot dogs, y = the number of chips, and z = the number of drinks. Then we know:
5x + 4y + 5z = 15.75
x = y + 0.75
z = 2x - 1
Let's substitute the 3rd equation into the first one.
5x + 4y + 5(2x - 1) = 15.75
5x + 4y+ 10x - 5 = 15.75
15x + 4y = 20.75
Now, let's re-write the 2nd equation as x - y = 0.75
We now have a system of two equations with two unknowns.
15x + 4y = 20.75
x - y = 0.75
To solve this, we can multiply the bottom equation by 4 and add.
15x + 4y = 20.75
+ 4(x - y = 0.75)
19x = 23.75
or x = 1.25
If x = 1.25, then using the one of the equations above, we can solve for y.
x - y = 1.25 - y = 0.75
.50 = y
Since z = 2x - 1, then z = 2(1.25) - 1 = 2.5 - 1 = 1.50
So, a hot dog is $1.25, chips are 50 cents, and a soft drink is $1.50. Please let me know if you have any questions.
A reasonable estimate could be any number that makes sense. Say the average elementary student is 4' 10" then a reasonable estimate could be 3' to 3' 6" because the desk would be about a 1' 6" shorter than the person.
B because when 9 is divided by 5 it cant be 1

Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
4 × (2 3/4) = 4×2 + 4×(3/4) = 8 + 3 = 11
or
4 × (2 3/4) = 4 × 11/4 = 11
Answer:
x=6 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio of DEF:ABC=5/3
8*5/3=13 1/3
x=6 2/3
