Kendra owns a restaurant. She charges $3.00 for 2 eggs and one piece of toast, and $1.80 for one egg and one piece of toast. How

34kurt

Assume E represents the cost of an egg and T represents the cost of one piece of toast.

We can construct two equations :
2E + T = $3.00 - - - - - (a)
E + T = $1.80 - - - - - (b)

Subtract equation b from a:
E = $1.20 (The price of one egg)

To find out the price of one piece of toast, replace the price of one egg in equation b:
T = $1.80 - $1.20 = $0.60 (The price of one piece of toast)

Hope that helps you

The function f(x) =2(3)^x is to be multiplied by the function g(x) 3(3)^(2x) to create the function h(x). Which function is prod

maria [59]

Answer C is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = f(x) * g(x)

h(x) = (2*3^x ) * ( 3*3^2x )

2 * 3 is easy, that will be 6.

The ground number 3 remains 3 in h(x), so that is easy too...

But with multiplying exponents, you can add them.

Let's concentrate only on the exponents of f(x) and g(x)... and add them...
