The correct answer is 4.2. This is because  -16.8 / 4 is -4.2 degrees.

-4.2 degrees. What you would do is from 8-12 (midnight) is 4 hours. So it dropped -16.8 degrees in those 4 hours so -16.8 / 4 is -4.2 degrees. So it dropped -4.2 degrees every hour but it was also -4.2 degrees at 9:00 p.m.

At the soup to nuts cafeteria, larry orders two pieces of toast and a bagel, which comes out to $\$1.30$. Curly orders a bagel a
kotegsom [21]

Let us take costs of a piece of toast = $t, , one bagel cost=$b and a muffin cost=$m.

Larry

Two pieces of toast and a bagel cost  = $1.30

2t+b=1.30   -------------equation(1)

Let us solve the equation(1) for t in terms of b, because we need to find one bagel cost.

Subtracting b from both sides we get

2t+b-b=1.30-b

2t= 1.30-b

Dividing by 2 on both sides.

2t/2= (1.30-b)/2

t= (1.30-b)/2

Curly

A bagel and a muffin cost = $2.50.

b + m = 2.50 -------------equation(2)

Solving equation for m in terms of b, we get

m= 2.50-b.

Moe

A piece of toast, two bagels, and three muffins cost = $6.95

t + 2b + 3m = 6.95    ......................equation(3).

Substituting t= (1.30-b)/2 and m= 2.50-b in equation (3)

(1.30-b)/2 + 2b + 3(2.50-b) = 6.95 .

Multiplying each term by 2 to get rid 2 from denominator of (1.30-b).

2*(1.30-b)/2 + 2*2b + 2*3(2.50-b) = 2*6.95

1.30-b + 4b + 6(2.50-b) = 13.90.

1.30 - b + 4b  +15 - 6b = 13.90

Combining like terms

-3b +16.30 = 13.90

Subtracting 16.30 from both sides.

-3b +16.30-16.30 = 13.90-16.30.

-3b= -2.4

Dividing both sides by -3.

-3b/-3 = -2.4/-3

b = 0.8

Therefore, cost of one bagel = $0.80.

How do you solve x - 1 + 5x = 23​
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

X=4

Step-by-step explanation:

First you add like terms, in this case 5x and x. Then you have 6x-1=23. You then add 1 from both sides so you end up with 6x=24. This then results in X=4

This is because it includes fractions as well.
Irrational, integers, whole numbers cannot be used in this situation.
