Answer:

The dinner cost was $ 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dinner cost was  $ x

Will paid  x /4

Micah paid  1/ 4  of remaining ( 1 − 1 /4 ) x = 3/4 x

i.e  

4 /16x

Sue paid  3/4  of remaining ( 1 − 1 /4 ) x = 3/4x

i.e  

9/16 x

Sue paid  $ 15  more than Will.  

∴  9/16 x  -1 /4 x =  5/16x=15

or

x=$48

Will paid  48 /4 = $ 1 2, Miah paid  4 /16. 48 = $ 12

,Sue paid  9/16⋅ 48= $ 27  

The dinner cost was $ 48

Which shows the correct first step to solving the system of equations in the most efficient manner? 3 x 2 y = 17. X 4 y = 19. X
Shkiper50 [21]

The correct first step to solving the system of equations in the most efficient manner is x = -4y +19.

The given system of equations is;

\rm 3 x + 2 y = 17\\\\x + 4 y = 19

<h2>What is the first step to solving an equation?</h2>

The first step would be to rearrange the variables in the second equation so we have a defined expression for x.

We would want to do this so we could then plug in the defined expression for x into the other equation and solve for the other variable.

x + 4y = 19

Rearrange this by getting the 4y to the other side.

We can get 4y on the other side by subtracting 4y from both sides

x + 4y - 4y = 19 - 4y

x = -4y + 19

Hence, the correct first step to solving the system of equations in the most efficient manner is x = -4y +19.

What is the answer to |x-4|&lt;13
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

<h2>The solution is -9 < x < 17.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

|x-4|<13.

The above equation means, whatever the actual value of x is, the value of (x - 4) must be greater than - 13 and less than 13.

Hence, -13 < x - 4 < 13 or, -9 < x < 17. The value of x will be in between -9 and 17. The value of x can not be -9 or 17.

Use the distributive property to simplify the following expression 4x(x-6)
katrin [286]
We need to distribute the term 4x to x - 6. Basically, we need to multiply 4x by x, which gives us 4x², and 4x by -6, which gives us -24x. Putting our two derived terms together, we get 4x²- 24, which is your answer. Hope this helps and have a great day!
