At a restaurant, four people order fried crab claws and four people order a cup of gumbo, with a total bill of $32. If only two

people had ordered the crab claws and one person ordered the gumbo, the bill would have been $12.5. How much are each order of fried crab claws and each cup of gumbo?

The cost of each order of fried crab claw is $4.5 and cost of each cup of gumbo is $3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Cost of each fried crab claw = x

Cost of each gumbo = y

According to given statement;

4x+4y=32     Eqn 1

2x+y = 12.5   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 2 by 2

2(2x+y = 12.5)\\4x+2y=25\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 1

(4x+4y)-(4x+2y)=32-25\\4x+4y-4x-2y=7\\2y=7

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{7}{2}\\y=3.5

Putting y=3.5 in Eqn 2

2x+3.5=12.5\\2x=12.5-3.5\\2x=9

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{9}{2}\\ x=4.5

The cost of each order of fried crab claw is $4.5 and cost of each cup of gumbo is $3.5

In the square ABCD, AE = 3x + 5 and BD = 10x + 2. What is the length of line AC?
zubka84 [21]
BD = 2 AE
10 x + 2 = 2 * ( 3 x + 5 )
10 x + 2 = 6 x + 10
10 x - 6 x = 10 - 2
4 x = 8
x = 8 : 4
x = 2
And the line AC is equal to BD.
AC = 10 * 2 + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22

Task: Volume & Surface Area
Triss [41]
Okay so starting off I get that this math can be really confusing but you’ll get it if you keep working at it. Don’t give up you got this. For part it it is asking for the volume in cubic feet to do this you multiple H•W•L

H=hight

W=Width

L=Length

Now you don’t really need to know exactly which side is the H,L, or W but since you only have 3 sides with domentions you know that you multiply all three sides now it doesn’t matter what order you do it in.

Please respond if this helped for part A. You got this keep your head up.

Are the triangles similar? If so, state the similarity and the postulate or theorem that justifies your answer.
malfutka [58]

The triangles are similar by SAS principle.

<h3>How to know similar triangles?</h3>

Similar triangles have the same shape but may have different sizes.

In similar triangles, corresponding sides are always in the same ratio.

The corresponding angles are congruent.

Therefore, using SAS ratio,

6 / 8 = 8 × 3 / 32

6 / 8  = 24 / 32 = 3 / 4

Therefore, the corresponding sides are a ratio of each other.

Therefore, the triangles are similar by SAS principles because the two triangles have two pairs of sides in the same ratio and the included angles are also equal
