$13.75 = 3p + 4d
<span>$9.75 = 2p + 3d
</span>
Using 2nd equation, divide all factors by 3 to isolate hot dog price and solve in terms of pizza price:

3.25 = 2/3p + d
3.25 - 2/3p = d

Now substitute for d in the other equation:

$13.75 = 3p + 4(3.25 - 2/3p)

Distribute the 4: 

$13.75 = 3p + 13 - 8/3p

Combine factors of p:

$13.75 = 9/3p - 8/3p + 13
$13.75 = 1/3p + 13

Isolate and solve for p:

$13.75 -13 = 1/3p

0.75= 1/3p

0.75 * 3 = p
2.25 = p

The price of pizza was $2.25 per slice.

It's the same angle. The equation, then, is 5y+1=51. Subtract one from both sides, so now you've got 5y=50. Divide each side by 5 and you've got y=10.

F(x)=x^2+8x-10 find f(a)+5
Papessa [141]

Answer:

We conclude that:

f(a) + 5 = a² + 8a - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The function is given by

f(x) = x²+8x-10

To determine

f(a)+5

In order to determine f(a)+5, first, we need to determine f(a).

Now substitute x = a in the function f(x) = x²+8x-10

f(a) = (a)² + 8(a) - 10

f(a) = a² + 8a - 10

Thus,

f(a) + 5 = (a² + 8a - 10) + 5

f(a) + 5 = a² + 8a - 5

Therefore, we conclude that:

f(a) + 5 = a² + 8a - 5
