John sold 10 hamburgers and 14 cheeseburgers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of one hamburger = $3

Cost of one cheeseburger = $3.50

Total burgers sold = 24

Total revenue earned = $79

Let,

Number of hamburgers sold = x

Number of cheeseburgers sold = y

According to given statement;

x+y=24 Eqn 1

3x+3.50y=79 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 3

$3(x+y=24)\\3x+3y=72\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

$(3x+3.50y)-(3x+3y)=79-72\\3x+3.50y-3x-3y=7\\0.50y=7$

Dividing both sides by 0.50

$\frac{0.50y}{0.50}=\frac{7}{0.50}\\y=14$

Putting y=14 in Eqn 1

$x+14=24\\x=24-14\\x=10$

John sold 10 hamburgers and 14 cheeseburgers.

Is finding 9/10-1/2 the same as finding 9/10-1/4-1/4?explain.

zavuch27 [327]

Yes it is the same. 1/4 +1/4 = 1/2. so 9/10-1/2=9/10-1/2

Which expression is equivalent to (x^4/3 x^2/3)^1/3?

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: $x^{\frac{2}{3} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have several properties of exponents in use here. The two that are used are:

$(x^{a})(x^{b}) = x^{a + b}$ <em>(Exponents with the same base that are being multiplied together can have the exponents added)</em>

$(x^{a})^{b} = x^{(a)(b)}$ <em>(A base raised to a power, and then raised to another power means that you can multiply the exponents to get the same result as doing inside operations and then outside operations)</em>

<em />

Let's apply it!

First, let's simplify what's inside the parenthesis.

$x^{\frac{4}{3} } x^{\frac{2}{3} }$ <em>(Remember, they have the same base of "x", so we can add the exponents)</em>

$x^{\frac{4}{3} + \frac{2}{3} }$ = $x^{\frac{6}{3} }$ = $x^{2}$

Now we have $(x^{2})^{\frac{1}{3} }$ . Let's use the second rule.

$(x^{2})^{\frac{1}{3} }$ = $x^{\frac{2}{3} }$

Hope this helps! :^)

Nataly [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> $\sec \alpha \sqrt{1 - \sin ^{2} \alpha } = 1$ </h3>

Prove the LHS

Using trigonometric identities

That's

<h3> $\cos ^{2} \alpha = 1 - \sin^{2} \alpha$ </h3>

<u>Rewrite the expression</u>

We have

<h3> $\sec \alpha \sqrt{ \cos^{2} \alpha }$ </h3>

<h3> $\sqrt{ { \cos }^{2} \alpha } = \cos \alpha$ </h3>

So we have

<h3> $\sec \alpha \times \cos \alpha$ </h3>

Using trigonometric identities

<h3> $\sec \alpha = \frac{1}{ \cos \alpha }$ </h3>

<u>Rewrite the expression</u>

That's

<h3> $\frac{1}{\cos \alpha } \times \cos \alpha$ </h3>

Reduce the expression with cos a

We have the final answer as

<h2>1</h2>

As proven

Hope this helps you

Jacob's favorite movie is 1 5/6 hours long. He says he has watch the movie 5 and a half times. If that is true. How many hours h

34kurt

$1\frac{5}{6}$ = $\frac{11}{6}$ , and when you multiply it by 5 it turns into $\frac{55}{6}$ , which is $9\frac{1}{6}$

So in conclusion he watched 9 & 10 minutes watching the movie
