Answer: the bill for a hamburger is $0.7

the bill for a salad is $1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the bill for a hamburger.

Let y represent the bill for a salad.

The bill for five hamburgers and four salads is $9.50. This means that

5x + 4y = 9.5- - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

The bill for four hamburgers and five salads is $10.30. This means that

4x + 5y = 10.3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by 5, it becomes

20x + 16y = 38

20x + 25y = 51.5

Subtracting, it becomes

- 9y = - 13.5

y = - 13.5/ - 9

y = 1.5

Substituting y = 1.5 into equation 1, it becomes

5x + 4(1.5) = 9.5

5x + 6 = 9.5

5x = 9.5 - 6 = 3.5

x = 3.5/5 = 0.7

Question 4 i need help on!!
MrMuchimi

Answer:

C  20

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up equations:

Laguna's Truck Rentals

y = 2x + 20

Where x is the number of miles driven and y is the total price

<em>How did we get to this equation?</em>

Well, the company charges $2 for every mile driven. Therefore, by multiplying 2 and x, you will find the price paid per mile. The 20 (which represents $20) is the one-time payment you pay for simply using the service.

Salvatori's Truck Rentals

y = 3x

Where x is the number of miles driven and y is the total price

<em>How did we get to this equation?</em>

For this company, you only pay for how many miles you drive. There isn't a one-time payment like there is for Laguna's Truck Rentals. Therefore, you only need to multiply the price per mile ($3) by the number of miles driven (x).

Set the equations equal to each other:

2x + 20 = 3x

<em>Why would you do this?</em>

We need to set the equations equal to each other because we need to find the point at which the prices are the same. When two things are the same, they are equal. Therefore, we get rid of the y variable (which represents the total price) because we want to find the value of x when the equations are equal to one another.

Solve:

2x + 20 = 3x

Subtract 2x on both sides:

2x + 20 = 3x

-2x           -2x

20 = x

When x is equal to 20, or when the number of miles driven is 20, the total price of the Truck Rental services is the same.

Hope this helps :)

Find the center and radius of the circle whose diameter has an endpoint at (-3, -4) and the origin.
Zina [86]

Given end points of diameter,

(x1,y1)=(-3,-4)

(x2,y2)=(0,0)

Now,

the equation of circle is,

(x-x1)(x-x2)+(y-y1)(y-y2)=0

or, (x+3)(x-0)+(y+4)(y-0)=0

or, x^2 +3x +y^2 +4y =0

or, x^2 +y^2 +3x + 4y=0

which is in the form of x^2 +y^2 +2gx +2fy + c=0

where,

g=3/2

h=2

c=0

Now,

radius(r) =  \sqrt{ {g}^{2}  +  {f}^{2} - c  } \\  =  \sqrt{ \frac{ {3}^{2} }{ {2}^{2} } +  {2}^{2}  - 0 }  \\  =  \sqrt{ \frac{9}{4}  + 4}  \\  =   \sqrt{ \frac{25}{4} }  \\  =  \frac{5}{2}
