Hey there!!

The total cost is $52.

She paid $12 more for the layer cake than the cupcake.

Let's take the price of the cupcake as $x. Then, the price of the layer cake would be $12 + x

The sum of these would result in $52.

... x + x + 12 = 52

... 2x + 12 = 52

... 2x = 52 - 12

... 2x = 40

... x = 20

Hence, the price of the cupcake is $20 and the price of the layer cake is $32.

Hope my answer helps!!

Which strategy best explains how to solve this problem?

This is a geometric sequence because each term is twice the value of the previous term.  So this is what would be called the common ratio, which in this case is 2.  Any geometric sequence can be expressed as:

a(n)=ar^(n-1), a(n)=nth value, a=initial value, r=common ratio, n=term number

In this case we have r=2 and a=1 so

a(n)=2^(n-1)  so on the sixth week he will run:

a(6)=2^5=32

He will run 32 blocks by the end of the sixth week.

Now if you wanted to know the total amount he runs in the six weeks, you need the sum of the terms and the sum of a geometric sequence is:

s(n)=a(1-r^n)/(1-r)  where the variables have the same values so

s(n)=(1-2^n)/(1-2)

s(n)=2^n-1 so 

s(6)=2^6-1

s(6)=64-1

s(6)=63 blocks

So he would run a total of 63 blocks in the six weeks.

Find the distance between the points (9,3) and (–5,3).
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The answer to the question provided is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

》The Distance Formula:

d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^{2} + (y_2 - y_1)^{2}  }

》Plug in.

d =  \sqrt{( - 5 - 9)^{2} + (3 - 3) ^{2}  }  \\ d =  \sqrt{( - 14)^{2}  + (0) ^{2} }  \\ d =  \sqrt{196 + 0}  \\ d =  \sqrt{196}  \\ d = 14

Please help me with this math problem!!
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an isosceles triangle because the two angles at the bottom are equal.

This means the two sides are equal

5y-2 = 13

Add 2 to each side

5y-2+2 =13+2

5y = 15

Divide each side by 5

5y/5 = 15/5

y =3
