Answer:
<h2>x = 3</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the picture.
We have the triangles 45° - 45° - 90° and 30° - 60° - 90°.
The sides of those triangles are in ratio:
1 : 1 : √2 and 1 : √3 : 2
Therefore
If AC = 6√2 then AB = BC = 6
If BC = 6 then x = 6 : 2 = 3
C(t) = $2t + $8
This tells us that the basic cost of the pizza is $8, with no toppings, and that each topping costs an additional $2.
To graph this, plot a dot at (0,$8). Now move y our pencil point 1 unit to the right and then 2 units up. Plot a dot at this new location. Now draw a straight line connection (0, $8) and this new location (which is (1, $10) ).
Answer: <u>4 pounds</u> of brand X sugar
====================================================
Reason:
n = number of pounds of brand X sugar
5n = cost of buying those n pounds, at $5 per pound
Brand Y costs $2 per pound, and you buy 8 lbs of it, so that's another 2*8 = 16 dollars.
5n+16 = total cost of brand X and brand Y combined
n+8 = total amount of sugar bought, in pounds
3(n+8) = total cost because we buy n+8 pounds at $3 per pound
The 5n+16 and 3(n+8) represent the same total cost.
Set them equal to each other. Solve for n.
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5n+16 = 3n+24
5n-3n = 24-16
2n = 8
n = 8/2
n = 4 pounds of brand X sugar are needed
-------------
Check:
n = 4
5n = 5*4 = 20 dollars spent on brand X alone
16 dollars spent on brand Y mentioned earlier
20+16 = 36 dollars spent total
n+8 = 4+8 = 12 pounds of both types of sugar brands combined
3*12 = 36 dollars spent on both types of sugar brands
The answer is confirmed.
--------------
Another way to verify:
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5*4+16 = 3(4+8)
20+16 = 3(12)
36 = 36
Using the metric system, a gallon is equal to 16 cups.
Therefore, there are 16 cups in a gallon of milk.
I hope this helps a lot! :)
