Answer:

s = 3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b = price of a burger

Let s = price of a side item

2b+s = 14.75

3b+2s = 24

Multiply the first equation by -2

-4b-2s =-29.50

Add to the second equation to eliminate s

-4b-2s =-29.50

3b+2s = 24

---------------------

-b = -5.50

Multiply by -1

b = 5.50

Now find s

2b+s = 14.75

2*5.50 +s =14.75

11 + s = 14.75

Subtract 11 from each side

s = 14.75 -11

s = 3.75

What is the solution to the equation 5x = 40?
Dima020 [189]
To find X, we can divide 5 into 40.
40 divided by 5 is 8.
Now we can do 5 x 8. That is 40.

X=40

OR we can do it another way.
40 divided by 5 is 8.
Cross out 5 divided by 5.

Now we have 8. Still.
X is 8

In ∆RST, which side is included between ∠R and ∠S?
Lera25 [3.4K]
Hi there!

Since triangle RST is stated with the sides in order (R is connected to S, which is connected to T, which is then connected to R), the side between R and S is T. 

Hope this helps!
