By solving a linear equation, we conclude that you bought 4 buns and 5 cakes.
<h3>
How many of each did I buy?</h3>
We will define the two variables:
- x = number of buns bought.
- y = number of cakes bought.
We know that you spent exactly £4.35, then we only need to solve the linear equation:
x*0.40 + y*0.55 = 4.35
We need to solve that equation for x and y, such that the values of x and y can only be positive whole numbers.
We can rewrite the equation as:
y*0.55 = 4.35 - x*0.40
y = (4.35 - x*0.40)/0.55
Now we only need to evaluate it in different values of x, and see for which value of x, the outcome y is also a whole number.
We will see that for x = 4, we have:
y = (4.35 - 4*0.40)/0.55 = 5
So you bought 4 buns and 5 cakes.

Answer:
Elimination
Step-by-step explanation:
Graphing takes too long, substitution can sometimes complicate things quickly, therefore I would use elimination as my prime method of solving systems of equations.
volume of pyramid = 1/3(area of the base)(height)
volume = 1/3(8x6)(9) = 3x48 = 144 in^3
answer: 144 in^3
Answer: 76 ft2
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = 2 side length +base length
40 = 2s +12
Solving for s:
40-12 =2s
28 =2s
28/2=s
14ft =side
Since the line which bisects and isosceles triangles is at a right angle to the base we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height (see attachment)
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
Where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle (in this case 14) and a and b are the other sides. (Base divided by 2 is one side, the other side is the height)
Replacing with the values given:
14^2= 6^2 + x^2
196 = 36 + x^2
196-36 = x^2
160 = x^2
√160 = x
x = 12.64 (height)
Area of an isosceles triangle = 1/2 x base x height
A = 1/2 x 12 x 12.64 = 76 ft2
