The total price of nachos for a group of people at the amusement park was $112.50. Each person paid $2.50 to have nachos.

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

1. The lawyer has 34 investors that contribute with $3,000 and has 26 investors that contribute with $6,000.

2. The jar has 26 nickels and 44 dimes that worth $5.70.

3. The concession stand has sold 1600 sodas and 1400 hotdogs

Step-by-step explanation:

For all the problems we are going to follow the same process that will consist on 1. Define the variables. 2. Formulate the system of two linear equations 3. Solve by the elimination method 4. Give the answer.

First problem.

- Variables:

x = number of investors that contribute with $3,000

y = number of investors that contribute with $6,000

- System of equations.

First equation will be the result of adding the number of investors that will give us a total of 60 investors then:

x + y = 60

Second equation is the result of multypling the number of investors by its invest and adding between them to get the $258,000 they have raised:

3,000x + 6,000y = 258,000

The system will be:

x + y = 60

3,000x + 6,000y = 258,000

- Solve by the elimination method.

To cancel x we are going to multiply by -3000 in both sides of the first equation and we will leave the second equation the same but in the first row to make easier the calculations then:

3,000x + 6,000y = 258,000

(x + y ) (-3,000) = 60 (-3,000) solve the multiplications

3,000x + 6,000y = 258,000

-3,000x - 3,000y = -180,000 solve the operations

0 + 3,000y = 78,000 clear y

$y = \frac{78,000}{3,000}$ solve the division

y = 26

For calculate x, replace the y value in the first equation and solve it

x + 26 = 60

x = 60 - 26

x = 34

- Answer

The lawyer has 34 investors that contribute with $3,000 and has 26 investors that contribute with $6,000.

Second problem

- Variables:

x = number of nickels

y = number of dimes

- System of equations.

First equation will be the result of adding the number of nickels and dimes that will give us a total of 70 coins in the jar then:

x + y = 70

Second equation is the result of multypling the number of coins by its value and adding between them to get the $5.70 that the jar worth:

0.05x + 0.1 y = 5.70

The system will be:

x + y = 70

0.05x + 0.1 y = 5.70

- Solve by the elimination method.

To cancel x we are going to multiply by -0.05 in both sides of the first equation and we will leave the second equation the same but in the first row to make easier the calculations then:

0.05x + 0.1 y = 5.70

(x + y ) (-0.05) = 70 (-0.05) solve the multiplications

0.05x + 0.1 y = 5.70

-0.05x - 0.05y = -3.50 solve the operations

0 + 0.05y = 2.20 clear y

$y = \frac{2.20}{0.05}$ solve the division

y = 44

For calculate x, replace the y value in the first equation and solve it

x + 44 = 70

x = 70 - 44

x = 26

- Answer

The jar has 26 nickels and 44 dimes that worth $5.70.

Third problem.

- Variables:

x = number of sodas sold by $2

y = number of hotdogs sold by $3

- System of equations.

First equation will be the result of adding the number of sodas and hotdogs that is of 3000 then:

x + y = 3000

Second equation is the result of multypling the number of sodas and hotdogs by its price and adding between them to get the $7400 of the receipts:

2x + 3y = 7400

The system will be:

x + y = 3000

2x + 3y = 7400

- Solve by the elimination method.

To cancel x we are going to multiply by -2 in both sides of the first equation and we will leave the second equation the same but in the first row to make easier the calculations then:

2x + 3y = 7400

(x + y ) (-2) = 3000 (-2) solve the multiplications

2x + 3y = 7400

-2x - 2y = -6000 solve the operations

0 + 1y = 1400 clear y

$y = \frac{1400}{1}$ solve the division

y = 1400

For calculate x, replace the y value in the first equation and solve it

x + 1400 = 3000

x = 3000 - 1400

x = 1600

- Answer

The concession stand has sold 1600 sodas and 1400 hotdogs

You are making a snack that includes 5/6 pound of almonds and 7/9 pound of cashews. Which is greater, the weigh of the almonds o

devlian [24]

To compare the answers, you need to have the same denominator.

We know that, 18 is a common denominator between 6 and 9.

(5/6)*3/3 => 15/18 (ALMONDS)
(7/9)*2/2 => 14/18 (CASHEWS)

As seen, the weight of almonds is 1/18 bigger than the cashews.

Hope I helped :)

Match the following with their formula.

neonofarm [45]

For simplicity, I’m marking the six different terms on the main part of the image as 1-6 and the six equations/points on the bottom of the image as A-F.

First, we can look at the bottom and see that there are four equations, but A and F are both points. Looking at the terms above, the only ones that are points are 1 and 6. Since the y-intercept is when a function passes through the y-axis, that means that the x value of the point must be 0. Therefore, A matches with 6.

That leaves F to match with 1. The equation (-b/2a) is what is used in a quadratic equation to locate the vertex, so it makes sense that the vertex would be when you put that number into the equation.

Now on to the four different equations. One of the equations, C, is calculating an x value. This means that it has to match with 2 because it’s drawing a line vertically through the point we already determined to be the vertex of a parabola in the above paragraph.

For the three functions that remain, B has no numbers in it, only the standard letters as placeholders for various numbers you would put into a quadratic function. Therefore, it has to match with 3 since it’s just the standard equation.

That leaves us with D and E to match with 4 and 5, meaning that one of them has to be a negative equation and the other has to be a positive equation. This is where you look at the a value in the function. If the a value is positive, then the quadratic opens up (with the tip pointed down) while if the a value is negative, then the quadratic opens down (with the tip pointed up). This means that D matches with 4 and E matches with 5.

In conclusion,
1 = F
2 = C
3 = B
4 = D
5 = E
6 = A

Hope that helped!

PLS HELP

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

C. 76 + 7i

Step-by-step explanation:

49 squared is 7 and since it's negative, it is an imaginary number. Therefore, it is 7i. Which leaves C to be the correct option.
