One way to look at this is to make 2 equations and treat it as a set of equations. We will make the cost of a donut equal to x, and the cost of a coffee equal to y.

Harold's order:
4x + 2y = 4.08

Melinda's order:
2x + 3y = 3.92

To combine these equations, we need to cancel out either x or y:
4x + 2y = 4.08
<span>2x + 3y = 3.92
</span>
4x + 2y = 4.08
<span>4x + 6y = 7.84
</span>
4x + 2y = 4.08
<span>-4x - 6y = -7.84
</span>
We can now combine these equations:
4x + 2y = 4.08
<span>-4x - 6y = -7.84
</span>
-4y = -3.76

y = 0.94

Therefore the cost of a large coffee is $0.94. We can plug this into either original equation to find the cost of a donut.
<span>4x + 2y = 4.08
</span>4x + 2(0.94) = 4.08
4x + 1.88 = 4.08
4x = 2.20
x = 0.55

The cost of a donut is $0.55, and the cost of a large coffee is $0.94.

Use the vertical-line test to determine whether the relation is a function. If not, identify two points a vertical line would pa
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

  not a function; (2, -2) and (2, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

A vertical line has the same x-value for all of its y-values. Only the last answer choice lists two points on a vertical line. They also happen to be points on the graph, so it is NOT a function.

__

Any vertical line in the x-interval (-3, 3) will pass through the segments y=-2 and y=2. Vertical lines at x=-3 or x=3 will pass through an infinite number of points between y=-2 and y=2.

Select the correct answer.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

B

x - 4 squared provides 2 real zeros that are the same. These two are not distinct.

The other two come from x^2 - 7x + 10 which has a discriminate of

sqrt(7^2 - 4*1*10) = sqrt(9) = +/- 3 leading to something real and different.

What is the unit form in (2 tens 1 one) ×10
Nonamiya [84]

we need to find the unit form in 2 tens and one multiplied with 10 .' we know that

21 is the 2 tens one

if we multiplied 21 with 10 we get 210 .

which means 21 tens are there in 210.which is the unit form of 210.

∠A and \angle B∠B are vertical angles. If m\angle A=(7x-27)^{\circ}∠A=(7x−27) ∘ and m\angle B=(3x+29)^{\circ}∠B=(3x+29) ∘ , then
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are congruent , then

7x - 27 = 3x + 29 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

4x - 27 = 29 ( add 27 to both sides )

4x = 56 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 14
