The cost of one hot dog is $1.75

The cost of one hamburger is $1.5

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Let,

  • The cost of hot dog be 'x'.
  • The cost of hamburger be 'y'.

The equations can be formed as :

7x + 4y = 18.25  --------(1)

4x + 7y = 17.50  --------(2)

Multiply eq (1) by 4 and eq (2) by 7,

   28x + 16y = 73

- (<u>28x + 49y = 122.5)</u>

  <u>        - 33y = - 49.5</u>

y = 49.5/33

y = 1.5

The cost of one hamburger is $1.5

Substitute y=1.5 in eq (1),

7x + 4(1.5) = 18.25

7x = 18.25 - 6

x = 12.25/7

x = 1.75

The cost of one hot dog is $1.75

Answer:

  h ≤ 6 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality is presumed to be ...

  15h +40 ≤ 140

  15h ≤ 100

  h ≤ 6 2/3

__

The graph shows h ≥ 0, because the inequality is only reasonable for h ≥ 0.

qaws [65]

Answer:

It moved because of this:

Step-by-step explanation:

the number 10 has one 0 in it.

you move the decimal place over how many times depending on how many 0s there are, so because there is <u>one</u><u> </u>0 in 10, you move it over <u>once</u>.

A boat sails for 5 hours at 30 mph in a direction 164°56'. How far south has it sailed (to the nearest mile)?
Valentin [98]
Total distance covered = 5 x 30 = 150 miles
Angle of travel with respect to south pole = 180 - 164°56' = 15°4'

Let the distance southwards covered be x, then
cos 15°4' = x/150
Thus, x = 150 cos 15°4' = 144.84

Therefore, the distance covered southwards = 145 miles to the nearest mile.

Using the slope formula, find the slope of the line through the given points.<br> (1,6) and (3,4)
svlad2 [7]
To find slope you do y2-y1 over x2-x1. So 4-6 is -2. And 3-1 is 2. So -2/2 is -1. The slope is -1.
