paul bought a soft and a sandwich for 9.90. what equation may be used to find the price of each item if the sandwich cost 3.5 ti

mes as much as the soft drink?

So, let's say the soft drink equals y and the sandwich equals x.

x + y = 9.9

The sandwich costs 3.5 times as much as the soft drink

x = 3.5y

Therefore, we can replace x with 3.5y since they're the same thing

3.5y + y = 9.9  <-- That's the equation :)

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

France = 15, Italy = 14, Korea = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

We are trying to find 3 consecutive integers whose sum is 42, then the highest integer will be France's gold medal count since they won the most, the second highest will be Italy, and the lowest integer will be Korea.

let n be the first/smallest integer, since they are consecutive, the next two integers are n+1 and n+2. Summing these, we get n + (n+1) + (n+2) = 42. Solve to get n = 13, n + 1 = 14, and n + 2 = 15

Element X is a radioactive isotope such that its mass decreases by 26% every day. If an experiment starts out with 810 grams of
ioda

Answer:

The hourly decay rate is of 1.25%, so the hourly rate of change is of -1.25%.

The function to represent the mass of the sample after t days is A(t) = 810(0.74)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equation of decay:

The exponential equation for the amount of a substance is given by:

A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t

In which A(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

Hourly rate of change:

Decreases 26% by day. A day has 24 hours. This means that A(24) = (1-0.26)A(0) = 0.74A(0); We use this to find r.

A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t

0.74A(0) = A(0)(1-r)^{24}

(1-r)^{24} = 0.74

\sqrt[24]{(1-r)^{24}} = \sqrt[24]{0.74}

1 - r = (0.74)^{\frac{1}{24}}

1 - r = 0.9875

r = 1 - 0.9875 = 0.0125

The hourly decay rate is of 1.25%, so the hourly rate of change is of -1.25%.

Starts out with 810 grams of Element X

This means that A(0) = 810

Element X is a radioactive isotope such that its mass decreases by 26% every day.

This means that we use, for this equation, r = 0.26.

The equation is:

A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t

A(t) = 810(1 - 0.26)^t

A(t) = 810(0.74)^t

The function to represent the mass of the sample after t days is A(t) = 810(0.74)^t

PLEASE HELP ME URGENT
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Hello! answer: 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for triangles area: base × height ÷ 2

Formula for squares area: base × height

5 × 3 = 15 15 ÷ 2 = 7.5 since there are 4 triangles that are the exact same I will just multiply by 4 so I have all the triangles so 7.5 × 4 = 30 now the square is just 3 × 3 so... 3× 3 = 9 now we add these up 30 + 9 = 39 therefore the surface area is 39

(a+b)2 ;a=1/2 and b=2
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

\frac{25}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

a + b = \frac{1}{2} + 2 = 2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}, thus

(a + b)² = (\frac{5}{2} )² = \frac{5}{2} × \frac{5}{2} = \frac{5(5)}{2(2)} = \frac{25}{4}
