The area of the figure is 161
If I'm doing this correctly, you would need to multiply everything inside the parenthesis by 8. So it would be 8x-24y·8x+24y. I'm sorry if that's not right, but that is my interpretation of the problem. Hope I was of some assistance :)
Answer:
y = 36x
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y varies directly as x, then the equation relating them is
y = kx ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition y = 18 when x = 
, thus
k = 
= 
= 36
y = 36x ← equation of variation
Answer:
cost of one cupcake = $2.75
cost of one brownie = $1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c = number of cupcakes
Let b = number of brownies
Equation 1: 5c + 2b = 16.25
Equation 2: 7c + 6b = 26.75
Multiply equation 1 by 3:
⇒ 15c + 6b = 48.75
Now subtract equation 2 from this equation to eliminate 6b:
⇒ 8c = 22
Divide both sides by 8:
⇒ c = 2.75
Substitute c = 2.75 into one of the original equations and solve for b:
⇒ 5(2.75) + 2b = 16.25
⇒ 13.75 + 2b = 16.25
⇒ 2b = 2.5
⇒ b = 1.25
Therefore, cost of one cupcake = $2.75 and cost of one brownie = $1.25
