At the deli, two smoked turkey subs and five veggie subs cost $29. Four smoked turkey subs and three veggie subs cost $30. (A) C

reate a linear system to model the equations. (B) Solve the system to determine the cost of a smoked turkey sub and the cost of a veggie sub.

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
x: cost of smoked turkey
y: cost of veggie subs
By writing the system of equations we have:
$2x + 5y = 29

4x + 3y = 30$
Resolving the system graphically we have the solution is:
$x = 4.5

y = 4$
See attached image for the graphic solution: You must observe the point of intersection of the lines.
Answer:
smoked turkey = 4.5 $
veggie sub = 4 $

Use substitution to solve the system.<br> -5x + 3y = 19<br> x = 3y - 11

telo118 [61]

Answer:

x = -2

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + 3y = 19

x = 3y - 11

-5x + 3y = 19

-5(3y - 11) + 3y = 19

-15y + 55 + 3y = 19

-15y + 3y + 55 = 19

-12y + 55 = 19

-12y = 19 - 55

-12y = -36

y = -36/-12

<u>y = 3</u>

x = 3y - 11

x = 3(3) - 11

x = 9 - 11

<u>x = -2</u>

7th grade work help please<br> will give brainliest:)

Montano1993 [528]

Answer: 67.27

Step-by-step explanation:

7.1 x 7.1 for the square = 50.41

7.1 divided by 2 = 3.55

3.55 x 4.75= 16.86

Normally here you would divide by 2, but you don’t need two because there is 2 triangles that are the same

Add the 50.41 and the 16.86 and you have your answer!

4. a) A ping pong ball has a 75% rebound ratio. When you drop it from a height of k feet, it bounces and bounces endlessly. If t

Klio2033 [76]

First part of question:

Find the general term that represents the situation in terms of k.

The general term for geometric series is:

$a_{n}=a_{1}r^{n-1}$

$a_{1}$ = the first term of the series

$r$ = the geometric ratio

$a_{1}$ would represent the height at which the ball is first dropped. Therefore:

$a_{1} = k$

We also know that the ball has a rebound ratio of 75%, meaning that the ball only bounces 75% of its original height every time it bounces. This appears to be our geometric ratio. Therefore:

$r=\frac{3}{4}$

Our general term would be:

$a_{n}=a_{1}r^{n-1}$

$a_{n}=k(\frac{3}{4}) ^{n-1}$

Second part of question:

If the ball dropped from a height of 235ft, determine the highest height achieved by the ball after six bounces.

$k$ represents the initial height:

$k = 235\ ft$

$n$ represents the number of times the ball bounces:

$n = 6$

Plugging this back into our general term of the geometric series:

$a_{n}=k(\frac{3}{4}) ^{n-1}$

$a_{n}=235(\frac{3}{4}) ^{6-1}$

$a_{n}=235(\frac{3}{4}) ^{5}$

$a_{n}=55.8\ ft$

$a_{n}$ represents the highest height of the ball after 6 bounces.

Third part of question:

If the ball dropped from a height of 235ft, find the total distance traveled by the ball when it strikes the ground for the 12th time. 

This would be easier to solve if we have a general term for the <em>sum </em>of a geometric series, which is:

$S_{n}=\frac{a_{1}(1-r^{n})}{1-r}$

We already know these variables:

$a_{1}= k = 235\ ft$

$r=\frac{3}{4}$

$n = 12$

Therefore:

$S_{n}=\frac{(235)(1-\frac{3}{4} ^{12})}{1-\frac{3}{4} }$

$S_{n}=\frac{(235)(1-\frac{3}{4} ^{12})}{\frac{1}{4} }$

$S_{n}=(4)(235)(1-\frac{3}{4} ^{12})$

$S_{n}=910.22\ ft$
