X= cost per pizza
y= cost per soda
1ST VISIT TO RESTAURANT
x + 2y= $15.95
2ND VISIT TO RESTAURANT
3x + 5y= $45.90
STEP 1
multiply equation from 1st visit by -3. Will be able to solve by elimination method in step 2.
-3(x + 2y)= -3(15.95)
multiply -3 by each term
(-3 * x) + (-3 * 2y)= (-3 * 15.95)
-3x - 6y= -47.85
STEP 2
add 2nd visit equation to new 1st
visit equation in step 1.
3x + 5y= 45.90
-3x - 6y= -47.85
x term will cancel out; solve for y
-y= -1.95
divide both sides by -1
y= $1.95 per soda
STEP 3
substitute y value in either original equation to solve for x
x + 2y= $15.95
x + (2 * 1.95)= 15.95
multiple in parentheses
x + 3.90= 15.95
subtract 3.90 from both sides
x= $12.05 per pizza
CHECK
3x + 5y= $45.90
3(12.05) + 5(1.95)= 45.90
36.15 + 9.75= 45.90
45.90= 45.90
ANSWER: Each pizza costs $12.05 and each soda costs $1.95.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
<em>Height of tomato plant is the </em><u><em>dependent variable</em></u>
<em>Presence of walnut leaves in the soil is the </em><u><em>independent variable</em></u>
<em>Tomato plants grown without walnut leaves is the </em><u><em>control</em></u>
<u><em></em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>An independent variable is the variable in an experiment that can be altered to test for a certain result. It is independent, or does not change with change in other factors in the experiment.</em> In this case, the presence or absence, or quantity of walnut available in the soil is the independent variable in the experiment.
<em>A dependent variable varies, and depends on the independent variable. It is what is measured in the experiment.</em> In this case, the height of the tomato plants is the dependent variable that depends on the presence, absence or quantity of walnut in the soil.
<em>A control in an experiment, is a replicate experiment, that is manipulated in order to be able to test a single variable at a time.</em> Controls are variables are held constant so as to minimize their effect on the system under study. In this case, some of the tomato plants are planted without walnut in the soil, to test the effect of the absence of the walnut in the soil.
Answer:
-103
243
Step-by-step explanation:
(q•r)(5) = q(r(5))
r(5) = 2(5²) + 1 = 51
q(51) = -2(51) - 1 = -103
(r•q)(5) = r(q(5))
q(5) = -2(5) - 1 = -11
r(-11) = 2(-11)² + 1 = 243
