Answer:

The cost of 1 popcorn is $5.75

The cost of 1 drink is $2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

First, let´s write the system of equations:

2p + 3d = 18.25

4p + 2d = 27.50

Now, let´s take the first equation (for example, it can be any equation) and solve it for "p":

2p + 3d = 18.25

Subtract 3d to both sides of the equation:

2p = 18.25 - 3d

divide both sides of the equation by 2:

p = (18.25 - 3d)/2

Now let´s replace p = (18.25 - 3d)/2 in the second equation and solve it for d:

4p + 2d = 27.50

4(18.25 - 3d)/2 + 2d = 27.50

2(18.25 - 3d) + 2d = 27.50

Apply distributive property:

36.5 - 6d + 2d = 27.50

subtract 36.5 to both sides of the equation:

-4d = 27.50 - 36.50

-4d = -9

divide both sides of the equation by -4:

d = -9/-4 = 2.25

The cost of 1 drink is $2.25

To calculate the price of popcorn, let´s use the equation we obtained above isolating "p":

p = (18.25 - 3d)/2

p = (18.25 - 3(2.25))/2

p = 5.75

The cost of 1 popcorn is $5.75

What is the value of x
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Triangle Angel Bisector Theorem


AB             2x-1

----------= --------------

AC               3x

9              2x-1

----------= --------------

15               3x


Using cross products

3x*9 = 15*(2x-1)

Distribute

27x = 30x-15

Subtract 30x from each side

27x-30x = 30x-30x-15

-3x = -15

Divide by -3

-3x/-3 =-15/-3

x =5

every prime number greater than 10 has a digit in the ones place that is included in which set of numbers below?
stich3 [128]
So we can start with the full of possibilities and eliminate them one by one.

The full set is {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}.

Now we know that any prime greater than 2 is odd as otherwise it would have 2 as a factor, so we can eliminate all of these digits that would be an even number, leaving:

{1,3,5,7,9}

We also know that any prime greater than 5 cannot be a multiple of 5 and that all numbers with 5 in the digits are a multiple of 5, so we can eliminate 5.

{1,3,7,9}

We know that 11,13,17 and 19 are all primes, so we cannot eliminate any more of these, leaving the set:

{1,3,7,9} as our answer.

-6(2+n) is greater than 72
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

n > -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you use the distributive property;

-12 - 6n > 72

Then, since 12 is negative, you add 12 to both sides;

-12 - 6n > 72

+12           +12

-6n > 84

Then you divide both sides by -6 to get n > -14.


Shoot, hold on; this is an edit; did you mean that 72 is greater than -6(2 + n) or did you accidentally flip the sign in the picture? Hopefully I did what you needed.
