Let us take costs of a piece of toast = $t, , one bagel cost=$b and a muffin cost=$m.

Larry

Two pieces of toast and a bagel cost  = $1.30

2t+b=1.30   -------------equation(1)

Let us solve the equation(1) for t in terms of b, because we need to find one bagel cost.

Subtracting b from both sides we get

2t+b-b=1.30-b

2t= 1.30-b

Dividing by 2 on both sides.

2t/2= (1.30-b)/2

t= (1.30-b)/2

Curly

A bagel and a muffin cost = $2.50.

b + m = 2.50 -------------equation(2)

Solving equation for m in terms of b, we get

m= 2.50-b.

Moe

A piece of toast, two bagels, and three muffins cost = $6.95

t + 2b + 3m = 6.95    ......................equation(3).

Substituting t= (1.30-b)/2 and m= 2.50-b in equation (3)

(1.30-b)/2 + 2b + 3(2.50-b) = 6.95 .

Multiplying each term by 2 to get rid 2 from denominator of (1.30-b).

2*(1.30-b)/2 + 2*2b + 2*3(2.50-b) = 2*6.95

1.30-b + 4b + 6(2.50-b) = 13.90.

1.30 - b + 4b  +15 - 6b = 13.90

Combining like terms

-3b +16.30 = 13.90

Subtracting 16.30 from both sides.

-3b +16.30-16.30 = 13.90-16.30.

-3b= -2.4

Dividing both sides by -3.

-3b/-3 = -2.4/-3

b = 0.8

Therefore, cost of one bagel = $0.80.

The length of a rectangle is 5 ft less than three times the width, and the area of the rectangle is 50 ft². Find the dimensions
Mariulka [41]

Answer

Length = 10 ft

Width = 5 ft

Explanation

Area of the rectangle given = 50 ft²

Let the width of the rectangle be x

So this means the length of the rectangle will be 3x - 5

What to find:

The dimensions of the rectangle.

Step-by-step solution:

Area of a rectangle = length x width

i.e A = L x W

Put A = 50, L = 3x - 5, W = x into the formula.

\begin{gathered} 50=(3x-5)x \\ 50=3x^2-5x \\ 3x^2-5x-50=0 \end{gathered}

The quadratic equation can now be solve using factorization method:

\begin{gathered} 3x^2-5x-50=0 \\ 3x^2-15x+10x-50=0 \\ 3x(x-5)+10(x-5)=0 \\ (3x+10)(x-5)=0 \\ 3x+10=0\text{ }or\text{ }x-5=0 \\ 3x=-10\text{ }or\text{ }x=5 \\ x=-\frac{10}{3}\text{ }or\text{ }x=5 \end{gathered}

Since the dimension can not be negative, hence the value of x will be = 5.

Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle will be:

\begin{gathered} Length=3x-5=3(5)-5=15-5=10\text{ }ft \\  \\ Width=x=5\text{ }ft \end{gathered}
