Answer:

length is 40 and breadth is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

120 =2( l + b )

120 = 2( 2x +x )

120= 2 x 3x

120 =6x

120/6 = x

20 = x

length=2x = 2 x 20 = 40

breadth= x = 20.

Answer:

a) What is the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap?

$10.99

b) What is the cost of one order of spiced potatoes?

$4.99

c) If x denotes the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap and y denotes the cost of an order of spiced potatoes, what are the equations needed to solve this problem?

3x + 2y = $42.95 .............Equation 1

5x + 4y = $74.91 ................Equation 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap and y denotes the cost of an order of spiced potatoes,

Cost of a chicken sharwarma wrap = x

Cost of an order of spiced potatoes = y

Ms. Ironperson ordered 3 chicken shawarma wraps and 2 orders of spiced potatoes for a total bill of $42.95.

3x + 2y = $42.95 .............Equation 1

Mr. Thoro ordered 5 chicken shawarma wraps and 4 orders of spiced potatoes for a total bill of $74.91.

5x + 4y = $74.91 ................Equation 2

Hence, the Equations needed to solve the question is:

3x + 2y = $42.95 .............Equation 1

5x + 4y = $74.91 ................Equation 2

We use Elimination method to solve for this.

Multiply Equation 1 by coefficient of x in Equation 2

Equation 2 by coefficient of x in Equation 1

3x + 2y = $42.95 .............Equation 1 × 5

5x + 4y = $74.91 ................Equation 2 × 3

15x + 10y = 214.75..............Equation 3

15x + 12y = 224.73..............Equation 4

Subtract Equation 3 from Equation 4

2y = 9.98

y = 9.98/2

y = 4.99

Therefore, y = Cost of an order of spiced potatoes = $4.99

Subtitute 4.99 for y in Equation 1

3x + 2y = $42.95 .............Equation 1

3x +2(4.99) = 42.95

3x + 9.98 = 42.95

3x = 42.95 - 9.98

3x = 32.97

x = 32.97/3

x = 10.99

x = Cost of a chicken sharwarma wrap = $10.99

Therefore,

The cost of a chicken sharwarma wrap = $10.99

The cost of an order of spiced potatoes = $4.99

Eric collected 1 1/3 times as many beads as Malik in the beginning. If Eric collected 48 more beads and Malik collected 13 more

-BARSIC- [3]

$E = \frac{4M}{3} \\E + 48 = 2(M+13)\\E + 48 = 2M + 26\\\frac{4M}{3}+48 = 2M + 26\\4M + 144 = 6M + 78\\2M = 66\\M = 33$

At the beginning, Malik had 33 beads, and Eric had 44, making them have 77 beads in total

At the end, Malik had (33 + 13 =) 46 beads and Eric had (44 + 48 = ) 92 beads.

If f(x) is a continuous function defined for all real numbers, f(–10) = –2, f(–8) = 5, and f(x) = 0 for one and only one value o

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At x = -10 the function has a value of -2 (negative)

At x = -8, the function has a value of 5 (positive)

So that means the function, when graphed, would have to cross the x-axis between x = -10 and x = -8 for it go from Negative to Positive (jump). <em>That value would be between -10 and -8.</em>

<em />

From the answer choices, "-9" is the only value between -10 and -8. At this point, the function cuts the x-axis, or the point where "f(x) = 0".

correct choice B
