The cost of one French silk cheesecake is $5 and one apple cheesecake is $14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Cost of one French silk cheesecake = x

Cost of one apple cheesecake = y

According to given statement;

8x+y=54     Eqn 1

3x+y=29     Eqn 2

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 1

(8x+y)-(3x+y)=54-29\\8x+y-3x-y=25\\5x=25

Dividing both sides by 5

\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{25}{5}\\x=5

Putting x=5 in Eqn 1

8(5)+y=54\\40+y=54\\y=54-40\\y=14

The cost of one French silk cheesecake is $5 and one apple cheesecake is $14.

Point R divides in the ratio 1 : 3. If the x-coordinate of R is -1 and the x-coordinate of P is -3, what is the x-coordinate of

<em><u>Question:</u></em>

Point R divides in the ratio 1 : 3. If the x-coordinate of R is -1 and the x-coordinate of P is -3, what is the x-coordinate of Q?

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

x-coordinate of Q is 5

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Point R divides in the ratio 1 : 3

Which means,

Point R divides the line segment PQ internally

The x-coordinate of the point which divides the line segment in ration m:n internally is given as:

x=(\frac{mx_{2}+nx_{1}}{m+n} )

Where,

x = x-coordinate of point dividing the segment R = -1

x_1 = x-coordinate of P = -3

x_2 = x-coordinate of Q = ?

m : n = 1 : 3

m = 1

n = 3

Therefore,

-1 = \frac{1 \times x_2 + 3 \times -3}{1+3}\\\\-1 = \frac{x_2 -9}{4}\\\\x_2 - 9 = -4\\\\x_2 = 9 - 4\\\\x_2 = 5

Thus x-coordinate of Q is 5

A charity organization is having a fundraiser.
nignag [31]

Answer:

Hence, the price of single ticket is $70.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

P(n) = 70n - 1500

As we know that: Profit = Income – Cost

Here, P(n) represents the fundraiser's profit (in dollars) and n represents the number of tickets sold and cost is 1500

Since, n is multiplied by 70 that represents the price of per ticket is $70.

Hence, the price of single ticket is $70.

Find two consecutive even integers such that the lesser added to three times the greater gives a sum of 46.
kvv77 [185]
N; n + 2 - the two consecutive even integers

n + 3(n + 2) = 46
n + 3n + 6 = 46   <em> |subtract 6 from both sides</em>
4n = 40      <em>  |divide both sides by 4</em>
n = 10

n + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12

<u>Answer: 10 and 12.</u>
