Answer:

  • plain cheese $11.45
  • each topping $1.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the price of a cheese pizza (no toppings), and t represent the price of a topping.

  c + 3t = 15.35 . . . . cost of a 3-topping pizza

  c + 5t = 17.95 . . . . cost of a 5-topping pizza

__

Subtract the first equation from the second.

  (c +5t) -(c +3t) = (17.95) -(15.35)

  2t = 2.60 . . . simplify [equation 3]

  t = 1.30 . . . . . divide by 2

Then the cost of the cheese pizza is ...

  c = 15.35 -3t = 15.35 -3(1.30) = 11.45

A plain cheese pizza costs $11.45; each topping costs $1.30.

_____

<em>Comment on the working</em>

If you're paying attention to what the problem statement is telling you, you should be able to arrive at "equation 3" without much thought. The 5-topping pizza differs from the 3-topping pizza only in the price of 2 toppings. Once you know the price of a topping, figuring the base price of the pizza is not hard.

Given: EDF=ABF<br> Name the postulate or theorem you can use to prove ADE=EBA.
Phoenix [80]

The HL (hypotenuse leg) theorem states that any two right triangles that have a  congruent hypotenuse and a corresponding, congruent leg are congruent triangles.

Step-by-step explanation:

AE is congruent to itself.

AB is congruent to DE

<ADE and <EBA are right angles, making them right triangles

Therefore ADE is congruent to EBA by the HL theorem.

Elza [17]

Answer:

c. \sf area \ of  \ octagon = 173.82 \ ft^2

Explanation:

\sf area \ of  \ octagon = 2(1+\sqrt{2} )a^2

Here "a" refers to side length.

<u>using this formula:</u>

<u></u>

\hookrightarrow \sf area \ of  \ octagon = 2(1+\sqrt{2} )(6)^2

\hookrightarrow \sf area \ of  \ octagon = 173.82 \ ft^2
