Answer: A scone costs $2.64, and a large coffee costs $1.92.

Explanation: We can write both scenarios as equations, and write it as a system of equations.

“Luis picked up seven scones and four large coffees. He paid $26.16.”

Let’s express the cost of a scone as x.
Let’s express the cost of a large coffee as y.

The first equation would be 7x + 4y = 26.16.

“Rachel picked up six scones and five large coffees. She paid $25.44.”

Let’s express the cost of a scone as x.
Let’s express the cost of a large coffee as y.

The second equation would be 6x + 5y = 25.44.

The systems of equations is:

7x + 4y = 26.16
6x + 5y = 25.44

Let’s take the first equation and solve for x.

7x + 4y = 26.16
7x = 26.16 - 4y
x = (26.16 - 4y)/7

Let’s substitute x in the second equation for (26.16 - 4y)/7, and solve for y.

6((26.16 - 4y)/7) + 5y = 25.44

Distribute the 6 across 26.16 - 4y in the term 6((26.16 - 4y)/7).

(156.96 - 24y)/7 + 5y = 25.44

Rewrite 5y as 35y/7 so it has a common denominator with (156.96 - 24y)/7.

(156.96 - 24y)/7 + 35y/7 = 25.44

Combine like terms.

(156.96 + 11y)/7 = 25.44

Multiply both sides by 7.

156.96 + 11y = 178.08

Subtract 156.96 from both sides.

11y = 21.12

Divide both sides by 11.

y = 1.92

Substitute y into the first equation.

7x + 4(1.92) = 26.16

Simplify 4(1.92).

7x + 7.68 = 26.16

Subtract 7.68 from both sides.

7x = 18.48

Divide both sides by 7.

x = 2.64

Since x = 2.64, we know that the cost of a scone is $2.64.
Since y = 1.92, we know that the cost of a large coffee is $1.92.

Therefore, a scone costs $2.64, and a large coffee costs $1.92.

Which equation is represented by the graph below?
DIA [1.3K]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The equation that is represented by the shown graph is the equation from the option D.

y=e^{x}-4

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since we are given two types of functions, exponential and logarithmic, we need to remember that there is just an option that matches with the graph.

So, from the graph we can see that we are looking for an exponential function which intercepts are located at the point (0,-3) and a point which y-coordinate is equal to 0 and its x-coordinate is located at the x-axis between the number 1 and 2.

From the given options we can see that the only exponential function that intercepts the function at y equal to -3 is the fourth option, so, let's prove that:

Option D,

y=e^{x}-4

Finding the y-intercept, we need to make "x" equal to 0, so:

y=e^{x}-4

y=e^{0}-4

y=1-4=-3

So, we know that the y-intercept point is located at (0,-3)

Finding the x-intercept, we need to make "y" equal to 0, so:

0=e^{x}-4

e^{x}=4

ln(e^{x})=ln(4)\\x=ln(4)=1.386

So, we know that the x-intercept point is located at (1.386,0)

Hence, we have that the axis interception points are (0,-3) and (1.386,0), so, the function that matches with the shown graph is the function from the option D.

y=e^{x}-4

Have a nice day!
