Hello,
3 solutions:
a=0,b=0 ==>a+b=0,a*b=0a=4,b=12 ==> a+b=16, a*b=48a=6,b=6 ==>a+b=12,a*b=36

A) you must plug in 50 for variable F and solve for C

C= $\frac{5}{9}$ (50-32)
C= $\frac{5}{9}$ (18)
C= 10
50 degrees fahrenheit is equal to 10 degrees celsius

B) you must solve the equation for F

C= $\frac{5}{9}$ (F-32)
C/ $\frac{5}{9}$ =F-32
C/ $\frac{5}{9}$ +32=F
F= C/ $\frac{5}{9}$ +32

dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying buy its reciprocal so it can also be written as

F= $\frac{9}{5}$ C +32

now you just plug in 50 for the variable C in the new equation

F= $\frac{9}{5}$ (50) +32
F= 90 + 32
F= 122

50 degrees celsius is equal to 122 degrees fahrenheit

hope this helped!

The following list shows the items and prices for a restaurant order. Calculate the total amount if there is a 7% tax and the cu

ziro4ka [17]

Answer : b. $65.10

1 appetizer: $7.39=7.39

2 entrees: $16.99 each= 2 * 16.99=33.98

1 dessert: $5.29= 5.29

2 drinks: $2.30 each=4.6

cost = 7.39 + 33.98 + 5.29 + 4.6 =$51.26

7% tax = 51.26 * 0.07 = 3.5882

20% gratuity = 51.26 * 0.2= 10.252

Total cost = 51.26 + 3.5882 + 10.252 =65.1002

the total amount = $65.1

mestny [16]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the coordinates of a quadrilateral that is G(1,-1), H(5,1), I(4,3) and J(0,1).

Now, before proving that this quadrilateral is a rectangle, we will prove that it is a parallelogram. For this, we will prove that the mid points of the diagonals of the quadrilateral are equal, thus

Join JH and GI such that they form the diagonals of the quadrilateral.Now,

JH= $\sqrt{(5-0)^{2}+(1-1)^{2}}=5$ and
