The cost of one pizza is $8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Cost of one pizza = x

Cost of one bread stick = y

According to given statement;

3x+2y=29.50    Eqn 1

2x+3y=23          Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 2

2(3x+2y=29.50)\\6x+4y=59\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Multiplying Eqn 2 by 3

3(2x+3y=23)\\6x+9y=69\ \ \ Eqn\ 4

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 4

(6x+9y)-(6x+4y)=69-59\\6x+9y-6x-4y=10\\5y=10

Dividing both sides by 5

\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{10}{5}\\y=2

Putting y=2 in Eqn 1

3x+2(2)=29.50\\3x+4=29.50\\3x=29.50-4\\3x=25.5

Dividing both sides by 3

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{25.5}{3}\\x=8.5

The cost of one pizza is $8.5

What is the answer to 7 or 8???
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

7. parallel:  k = 3

   perpendicular:  k = -4/3

8. $1300

Step-by-step explanation:

7.

Rewrite each equation as the slope-intercept form of a linear equation:

y = mx + b (where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept)

  8y = 12x + 6

⇒ y=\dfrac32x+\dfrac34

   4y = k(2x + 10)

⇒ 4y = 2kx + 10k

⇒ y = \dfrac12kx + \dfrac52k

If the graphs are parallel their slopes will be the same.

\implies \dfrac32=\dfrac12k

\implies k=3

If the graphs are perpendicular then the product of their slopes will be -1.

\implies \dfrac32 \times \dfrac12k=-1

\implies \dfrac12k=-\dfrac23

\implies k=-\dfrac43

8. Create a linear equation, where x is the number of coffee mugs and y is the total cost (in dollars).

Choose 2 ordered pairs from the table:  (10, 110) and (20, 195)

Let (x_1,y_1) = (10, 110)

Let (x_2,y_2) = (20, 195)

Use the slope formula to find the slope m:

\implies m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{195-110}{20-10}=\dfrac{17}{2}

Now use the point-slope form of linear equation:

\implies y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

\implies y-110=\dfrac{17}{2}(x-10)

\implies y=\dfrac{17}{2}x+25

Substitute x = 150 into the equation and solve for y:

\implies y=\dfrac{17}{2}(150)+25=1300

Therefore, the total cost of ordereing 150 mugs is $1300

Mariah is putting $5,270 into an account earning 3.75% interest compounded quarterly. She estimates that it will take just over
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

a. Mariah’s estimate of the time is too low

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we are going to need to input the values in the question into the compound interest formula:

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

<em>P = initial balance</em>

<em>r = interest rate (decimal)</em>

<em>n = number of times compounded annually</em>

<em>t = time</em>

<em />

First, change 3.75% into a decimal:

3.75% -> \frac{3.75}{100} -> 0.0375

Since the interest is compounded quarterly, we will use 4 for n. Lets plug in the values now:

A=5,270(1+\frac{0.0375}{4})^{4(9)}

A=7,373.98

Mariah's estimate of the time is too low. Your answer is A.
