A company has a $150 budget to provide lunch for its 20 employees. The options are to provide either roast beef sandwiches, whic

h cost $5 apiece, or tuna sandwiches, which also cost $5 apiece. The company also wants to use the entire budget. Suppose r represents the number of roast beef sandwiches it provides and t represents the number of tuna sandwiches. Which statement is correct?
The company can provide lunch for all 20 employees and use the entire budget because there is a solution to the system of equations r minus t = 20 and 5 r + 5 t = 150.
The company can provide lunch for all 20 employees and use the entire budget because there is a solution to the system of equations r + t = 20 and 5 r + 5 t = 150.

Answer:

2. The company can provide lunch for all 20 employees and use the entire budget because there is a solution to the system of equations r + t = 20 and 5 r + 5 t = 150.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total lunch budget of the company  =  $150

Total number of employees  = 20

The cost of 1 roast beef sandwich = $5

The cost of 1 tuna sandwich = $5

r represents the number of roast beef sandwiches provided.

t represents the number of tuna sandwiches provided.

Now, consider the given statements:

Here, total number of sandwiches purchased  = Total number of employees

⇒ r +  t = 20   .... (1)

Also, as each type of sandwich costs $5.

So, the cost of r roast beef sandwiches = r x ( Cost of  1  beef sandwich)

= r x ( $5) = 5 r

And, the cost of t tuna sandwiches = t x ( Cost of  1  tuna sandwich)

= t x ( $5) = 5 t

Total cost of (r +t) sandwiches = Total Lunch Budget

⇒ 5 r +  5 t = 150   .... (2)

Hence, from (1) and (2) the above situation can be represented as:

r +  t = 20  

5 r +  5 t = 150

Hence, the company can provide lunch for all 20 employees and use the entire budget because there is a solution to the system of equations r + t = 20 and 5 r + 5 t = 150.

2x+7=27 and 3x+1=28 does 2x+7= 3x+1
Savatey [412]
Hey there!

2x + 7 = 27
2x = 20
x = 10

3x + 1 = 28
3x = 27
x = 9

The values for both of these equations are 9 and 10; therefore, the answers are not equivalent.

I hope this helps!

Evaluate the function f(x)=4x^2-10+2 find f(-7)
likoan [24]

Answer:

188

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=4x² - 10+2

f(-7) = 4x² - 10 + 2

= 4(-7)² - 10 + 2

= 4 (49) - 10 + 2

= 196 - 10 + 2

= 188
