<span> The Pythagorean theorem</span>
The problem is asking how much each person will need to pay. Simplifying the problem into an equation with variables (an algorithm) will greatly help you solve it:
S = Sales Tax = $ 7.18 per any purchase
A = Admission Ticket = $ 22.50 entry price for one person (no tax applied)
F = Food = $ 35.50 purchases for two people
We know the cost for one person was: (22.50) + [(35.50/2) + 7.18] =
$ 47.43 per person. Now we can check each method and see which one is the correct algorithm:
Method A)
[2A + (F + 2S)] / 2 = [ (2)(22.50) + [35.50 + (2)(7.18)] ]/ 2 = $47.43
Method A is the correct answer
Method B)
[(2A + (1/2)F + 2S) /2 = [(2)(22.50) + 35.50(1/2) + (2)7.18] / 2 = $38.55
Wrong answer. This method is incorrect because the tax for both tickets bought are not being used in the equation.
Method C)
[(A + F) / 2 ]+ S = [(22.50 + 35.50) / 2 ] + 7.18 = $35.93
Wrong answer. Incorrect Method. The food cost is being reduced to the cost of one person but admission price is set for two people.
The answer is A hope this helps!
im am pretty sure it is b.sometimes because an equation can have more then one answer
A) I included a graph, look below.
B)
Input the y in x = y + 3.
x = (-4x - 3) + 3
x = -4x + 0
Add 4x to both sides.
5x = 0
Divide both sides by 5.
x = 0
Input that x value in y = -4x - 3
y = -4(0) - 3
y = 0 - 3
y = -3
(0, -3)
C)
Convert both equations to Standard Form.
x = y + 3
Subtract y from both sides.
x - y = 3
y = -4x - 3
Add 4x to both sides.
4x + y = -3
Add the equations together.
4x + y = -3
x - y = 3
equals
5x = 0
Divide both sides by 5.
x = 0
Input that into one of the original equations.
0 = y + 3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
-3 = y
(0, -3)
