Answer:

Donuts cost $2.00 and Cookies cost $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

D = cost of a donut

C = cost of a cookie

4D + 10C = $23.00

8D + 6C = $25.00

Eliminate a variable when subtracting the two equations.  Change both values with C to 60 in order to eliminate the C variable and solve for D.

80D + 60C = $250.00 subtracted from 24D + 60C = $138

56D = $112.00  (Divide by 56 to single out the variable)

56D/56 = $112.00/56

D = $2.00

Use the D value to solve for C.

4(2) + 10C = $23.00

8 + 10C = $23.00

8 - 8 + 10C = $23.00 - 8

10C = $15.00

10C/10 = $15/10

C = $1.50

Check:

Bentley:  

4D + 10C = $23

4(2) + 10(1.50) = $23

8 + 15 = $23

23 = 23

Skylar:

8D + 6C = $25

8(2) + 6(1.50) = $25

16 + 9 = $25

25 = 25

Answer:

Each donut costs $2 and each cookie costs $1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let´s name the variables as the following:

x = price of one donut

y = price of one cookie

2. Write in an equation form which Bentley bought:

4x+10y=23 (Eq.1)

3. Write in an equation form which Skylar bought:

8x+6y=25 (Eq.2)

4. Solve for x in Eq.1:

4x+10y=23

4x=23-10y

x=\frac{23-10y}{4} (Eq.3)

5. Replace Eq.3 in Eq.2 and solve for y:

8*(\frac{23-10y}{4})+6y=25

\frac{184-80y}{4}+6y=25

\frac{184-80y+24y}{4}=25

184-80y+24y=100

-80y+24y=100-184

-56y=-84

y=\frac{84}{56}

y=1.5

6. Replacing the value of y in Eq.3:

x=\frac{23-10*(1.5)}{4}

x=\frac{23-10*(1.5)}{4}

x=\frac{23-15}{4}

x=\frac{8}{4}

x=2

Therefore each donut costs $2 and each cookie costs $1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given c = longest of triange = 15m

Given b = short side of triangle = 9m

By pythagoras' Theorem,

{c}^{2}  =  {a}^{2}   +  {b}^{2}  \\  {a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2} =  {c}^{2}   \\  {a}^{2}  +  {(9)}^{2}  =  {(15)}^{2}  \\  {a}^{2}  + 81 = 225 \\  {a}^{2}  = 225 - 81 \\  {a}^{2}  = 144 \\ a =  \sqrt{144}  \\  = 12m
