Marie placed two orders at the same restaurant last month. In one order, she received 5 trays of lasagna and 3 trays of garlic b

read for $163. In the other order, she received 4 trays of lasagna and 4 trays of garlic bread for $150.80. What is the price for one tray of lasagna, l, and one tray of garlic bread, g? l = $24.95 g = $12.75 l = $12.75 g = $24.95 l = $24.75 g = $12.95 l = $12.95 g = $24.75

Answer:

L=$24.95 , G=$12.75

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is a classic system of equations problem.  There are several methods of solving these problems, because of the circumstances and values given I think it's best to use the elimination method.  The elimination method attempts to cancel out a variable by subtracting one equation from another.  

The first statement Marie received an order of 5 trays of lasagna and 3 trays of garlic bread for a total of $163.  I'm going to use "L" for lasagna and "G" for garlic bread.  Therefore, the equation for the scenario above is:

5L+3G=163

In the second statement Marie received an order of 4 trays of lasagna and 4 trays of garlic bread and so:

4L+4G=150.80

Now we cannot use the elimination method directly because equation 1 and equation 2 do not have any coefficients in common.  However, we can eliminate "G" by first multiplying the top equation by 4 and the bottom equation by 3.  We are doing this because those are the coefficients of the other equation, and thus will return a common value as such:

Equation 1:

4(5L+3G=163)\\20L+12G=652

Equation 2:

3(4L+4G=150.80)\\12L+12G=452.40

Now we can subtract equation 2 from equation 1 and eliminate the "G" variable as such:

20L+12G=652\\-(12L+12G=452.40)\\\\8L+0G=199.60\\\\8L=199.60\\\\

By solving for L we obtain:

8L=199.60\\\\\frac{8L}{8}=\frac{199.60}{8}\\\\L=24.95

Therefore, one tray of lasagna is $24.95.  Now that we know the value of "L" we can use any of our original equations to figure out what "G" is.  I'll use the first equation and so:

5L+3G=163\\\\5(24.95)+3G=163\\\\124.75+3G=163\\\\124.75-124.75+3G=163-124.75\\\\3G=38.25\\\\\frac{3G}{3}=\frac{38.25}{3}\\\\G=12.75

And so the price of a tray of garlic bread is $12.75.  So the answer is the price of lasagna = $24.95  and garlic bread = $12.75

What is the length of side x?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In a 30-60-90 triangle the side between 60 and 90 degree angle is  a, the side between 30 and 90 degree angle is  a√3, and the hypotenuse is 2*a.

Given that the side that is supposed to be  a is currently √3, we know that the missing side x must be:

a√3    (We know that a, in this case, is √3, so substitute)

x = (√3) * (√3)

x = 3

Write the explicit formula
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

The required explicit formula is A(n)= 4-4n

10th term of arithmetic sequence is (-36)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given arithmetic sequence is 8,4,0,-4,-8......

The arithmetic sequence is given by a,a+d,a+2d.......a+(n-1)d

Comparing both the sequence we get,

a=8 and a+d=4

For value of d:

d+a=4

d=4-8=(-4)

The explicit formula is given by : A(n)= a+(n-1)d

A(n)= a+(n-1)d

A(n)= 8+(n-1)(-4)

A(n)= 8-4n+4

A(n)= 4-4n

Therefore, The required explicit formula is A(n)= 4-4n

To find value of 10 th term:

Take n=10 in explicit formula

A(10)= 4-4(10)

A(10)= -36

Therefore, 10th term is (-36)

Find the values of x and y that satisfy the equation.<br><br> 4x+2i=8+yi<br> x= <br> and y=
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The values of x and y that satisfy the equation are 2 and 2, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two complex numbers are identical if and only each pair of respective coefficients are identical on both sides. Then, we need to observe the following conditions:

Real component

4\cdot x = 8 (1)

Imaginary component

2 = y (2)

The solution of this system of equations is x = 2 and y = 2.

The values of x and y that satisfy the equation are 2 and 2, respectively.
