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.

Masja [62]

Answer:

The answer is B (60)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area is L x W, since they claim the base is 12in and even state teh length is 10in all that is needed is to multiply 12 x 10 to get 120. The area of the window is 120 inches. and half of 120 is 60 Area articulates  the space occupied by a flat shape or the surface of an object. The answer is B

Limit as x approaches 9 of x^2 -81/sqrt of x - 3
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

108

Step-by-step explanation:

Limit as x approaches 9 of x^2 -81/sqrt of x - 3

First substitute x into the expression

= 9²-81/√9 - 3

= 81-81/3-3

= 0/0 (indeterminate)

Apply l'hospital rule

= lim x -> 9 d/dx(x²-81)/√x - 3

= lim x -> 9 2x/1/2√x

Substitute x = 9

= 2(9)/1/2√9

=18/1/(2(3)

=18 × 6/1

= 108

Hence the limit of the function is 108
