A customer buys five cans of baked beans, four packets of brown sugar and two packets of biscuits from a supermarket.He gives th

e cashier R150.00 and gets R26.00 in change. A can of baked beans costs half as much as a packet of biscuits whilst a packet of sugar is R3.00 cheaper than a packet of biscuits.
1.How much did all the items cost?
2.Calculate the cost of a can of baked beans, a packet of sugar and a packet of biscuits.

Given:
Let baked beans be x
Let brown sugar be y
Let biscuits be z

5x + 4y + 2z = 150 - 26
5x + 4y + 2z = 124

a can of baked beens costs half as much as a packet of biscuits: 
x = 1/2 * z = z/2

a packet of sugar is 3.00 cheaper than a packet of biscuits
y = z - 3

We substitute x and y with its values:

5x + 4y + 2z = 124 ; x = z/2 ; y = z-3
5(z/2) + 4(z-3) + 2z = 124
5z/2 + 4z - 12 + 2z = 124
5z/2 + 6z = 124 + 12
2(5z/2  + 6z) = 2(136)
5z + 12z = 272
17z = 272
z = 272/17
z = 16  price of a packet of biscuits.

can of baked beans : x = z/2 ; x = 16/2 = 8
packet of sugar : y = z - 3 ; y = 16 - 3 = 13

5x + 4y + 2z = 124
5(8) + 4(13) + 2(16) = 124
40 + 52 + 32 = 124
124 = 124

Can someone help me with this problem? It’s Special Right Triangles: Decimal Answer. Round to the nearest tenth. Thank you ! 10
Triss [41]

Answer:

h = 1.4

c = 2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

For each problem, remember the special triangle side ratios then use a proportion. To solve, isolate the variable.

For the triangle with the variable h:

Since two of the angles are 45, this is an isosceles triangle. All isosceles triangles have two equal sides that are not the hypotenuse.

In a right isosceles triangle, the ratio for regular side to hypotenuse is 1 to √2.

\frac{1}{\sqrt2} =\frac{h}{2} \\h = 2\frac{1}{\sqrt2} \\h = \frac{2}{\sqrt2} \\h = \frac{2\sqrt2}{2} \\h = \sqrt{2}

h = √2

h ≈ 1.4

For the triangle with the variable c:

The is an equilateral triangle cut in half because the angles are 30 and 60.

The side ratio of altitude to hypotenuse is √3 to 2.

\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} =\frac{c}{4} \\\sqrt{3} = \frac{c}{2}\\2\sqrt3 = c

c = 2√2

c ≈ 2.8

Write the equation of the line passing through the point (a, b) and having a slope m.​
allochka39001 [22]

The equation of the line is b = am + c

<h3>What are linear equations?</h3>

Linear equations are equations that have a constant slope, average rate of change or gradients

<h3>How to determine the line equation?</h3>

The point is given as

(x, y) = (a, b)

The slope is given as

Slope = m

A linear equation is represented as

y = mx + c

Where me represents the slope

Substitute (x, y) = (a, b)

b = am + c

Hence, the equation of the line is b = am + c

For the given quadratic equation convert into vertex form, find the vertex, and find the value for x = 6. Show your work. y = -2
telo118 [61]
Y= -2(x²-x)+2= -2(x-1/2)²+2+1/2= -2(x-1/2)²+5/2 
<span>x=6, y= -2(11/2)²+5/2= -121/2+5/2= -58

I hope this helps</span>
