Answer:

$1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

This can best be determined using a set of linear equations that are solved simultaneously.

This pair of linear equations may be solved simultaneously by using the elimination method. This will involve ensuring that the coefficient of one of the unknown variables is the same in both equations.

Let the cost of a cookie be c, cost of a doughnut be d and that of a box of doughnut hole be h then if cost of 4 cookies, 6 doughnuts, and 3 boxes of doughnut holes is $8.15, we have

4a + 6d + 3h = 8.15

and the cost of 2 cookies, 3 doughnuts, and 4 boxes of doughnuts holes is $7.20 then

2a + 3d + 4h = 7.20

Dividing the first by 2

2a + 3d + 1.5h = 4.075

subtracting from the second equation

2.5h = 3.125

h = 1.25

The cost of a box of doughnut holes is $1.25

A triangle has sides with lengths of 18 centimeters, 68 centimeters and 74 centimeters. Is it a right triangle?
Hoochie [10]
18^2 + 68^2 =

= 324 + 4,624

= 4,948

74^2 = 5,476

4,848 is not equal to 5,476.

Since the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two shorter sides is not equal to the square of the length of the longest side, the triangle is not a right triangle.

Line L is mapped onto the line t by a dilation centered at
STatiana [176]

The equation of line T is 2x - y = 7 ⇒ (6x - 3y = 21)

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape as the original, but is a different size

  • If the equation of a  line is ax + by = k is dilated, with center origin and scale factor k, then the equation of the image of the line is kax + kby = kc
  • The line and its image are parallel
  • The coordinates of a general point on the image is (kx , ky)

Line L is mapped onto the line T by a dilation centered at the origin and  a scale factor of 3.

That means lint T is the image of line L after dilation

∵ The equation of line L is 2x - y = 7

∵ Line L is dilated by scale factor 3 and centered at origin

- That means multiply the equation of line L by 3 to find the

   equation of line t

∵ Line T is the image of line L after dilation

∴ The equation of line T is (3)(2x) - (3)(y) = (3)(7)

∴ The equation of line T is 6x - 3y = 21

<em>Very important note:</em>

The equation of line T is the same with equation of line L but multiplied by the scale factor 3 ⇒ L and T are coincide lines (same line)

That means the equation of lines T and L is 2x - y = 7

The equation of line T is 2x - y = 7 ⇒ (6x - 3y = 21)
