Answer:

  $1.45

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the question, we would like to have an equation that has the cost of a game as its only variable. That is, we would like to eliminate the cost of a ride from the system of equations we must write.

Let g and r represents the costs of a game and a ride, respectively. Then the expenses of the two carnival-goers can be described by ...

  5g +6r = 11.75

  7g +8r = 16.15

We note that the ratio of coefficients in the variable (r) that we want to eliminate is 3:4. So we can subtract 4 times the first equation from 3 times the second to eliminate that variable.

  3(7g +8r) -4(5g +6r) = 3(16.15) -4(11.75)

  g = 1.45 . . . . . . simplify

The cost to play one game was $1.45.

Can someone please help me with this geometry question
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

A. q = 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the lines are parallel, their sides will be proportional,

So,

Taking their proportion

=> \frac{60}{40} = \frac{q}{26}

Cross Multiplying

q × 40 = 26 × 60

q = \frac{1560}{40}

q = 39

Answer:

-1/21

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 + -5/7

Get a common denominator of 21

2/3 *7/7 = 14/21

-5/7*3/3 = -15/21

14/21 - 15/21 = -1/21
