In order to use the elimination method<span>, you have to create variables that have the same coefficient—then you </span>can eliminate<span> them. Multiply the top </span>equation<span> by 5. Next add the </span>equations<span>, and </span>solve<span> for y. Substitute y = 10 into one of the original </span>equations<span> to find x.</span>

Tom, Lisa, and Jane are competing in a cooking competition. They all used different amounts of sugar from a can containing 4 pou

avanturin [10]

Convert all to decimals
percent means parts out of 100
13%=13/100=0.13

'of' means mutiply

Tom=13% of 4
tom=0.13 times 4
tom=0.52 lb

Lisa=0.6 lb

Jane=0.12 of 4
jane=0.12 times 2
jane=0.48

Tom=0.52
Lisa=0.60
Jane=0.48

Carla is a waitress at Daybreak Diner and she earns $5 for each hour she works. Last week she earned 148 total including $68 tip

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer: 16 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Carla earns $\$5$ for each hour she works

Last week she earned $148 total including $\$68$ tip

So, the sum of hourly income and must be equal to the total money earned

Suppose she works for $x$ hours

$\Rightarrow 5x+68=148$

$\Rightarrow 5x=148-68\\\Rightarrow 5x=80\\\Rightarrow x=16\ \text{hours}$

Thus, she works 16 hours last week

Answer:

AC Midpoint (2,0)-

CB Midpoint (5,-4)

midlength is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

midpoint formula $(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2} ,\frac{y_{1} +y_{2} }{2})$

A(2,4) C(2,-4)

$\frac{2+2}{2} =\frac{4}{2}=2\\\frac{4-4}{2} =\frac{0}{2} =0$

(2,0)

C(2,-4) B(8,-4)

$\frac{8+2}{2} =\frac{10}{2} =5$

$\frac{-4-4}{2} =\frac{-8}{2} =-4$ midpoint is (5,-4)

Distance between the 2 midpoints is the midsegment

(2,0) and (5,-4)

$d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2} +(y_{2}-y_{1}) ^{2} }$

$d=\sqrt{(5-2)^{2} +(-4-0)^{2} } \\d=\sqrt{3^{2} +(-4^{2})\\ } \\d=\sqrt{x} 9+16\\d=\sqrt{25} \\d=5$

Janelle can get a 24-pack of bottled water for $6.80. How much would Janelle have to pay for a 12-pack of bottled water if the r

solniwko [45]

She would have to pay $3.40 I think. A 12-pack is half the size of a 24-pack so I did half the price.
