Answer:

a. 5 represents the number of calories that come from other ingredients.

b. Neither 8 nor 3 satisfy the given equation, so neither 8 nor 3 can be the solution to the equation.

c. <em>c = 5.5</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

4c + 5 = 27

Where c represents the grams of carbohydrates

27 is the total number of calories that are received by the granola bite.

4 is the number of calories from 1 gram of carbohydrates and

5 is the number of calories that are received from other ingredients.

Answer of Part a:

5 is the number of calories that are received from other ingredients.

Part b:

Let us take left hand side (LHS) and put values of c = 8 and 3 one by one.

So, LHS becomes:

4 \times 8 + 5 = 37 \neq RHS\ i.e.\ 27

4 \times 3 + 5 = 17 \neq RHS\ i.e.\ 27

So, Priya is correct that neither 8 or 3 could be solution.

Part c:

4c + 5 = 27\\\Rightarrow 4c = 22\\\Rightarrow \bold{c = 5.5}

So, solution to the equation is: <em>c = 5.5</em>

The car you want cost 25,750. If the sales tax rate is 6.5% the how much sales tax will be added? What is the total cost for the
lilavasa [31]

Answer:The total cost for the car including tax is $27423.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial price of the car that you want is 25,750. If the sales tax rate is 6.5%, it means that the amount of sales tax would be

6.5/100 × 25750 = 0.065 × 25750 = 1673.75

The total cost for the car including tax would be the sum of the initial cost of the car and the amount of tax. It becomes

25750 + 1673.75 = $27423.75

Solve this system of equations using the elimination method.
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

(6, -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Our system of linear equations is:

6x + 2y = 18

-4x - 2y = -6

When we solve by elimination, we're essentially "eliminating" a variable so that we can solve for other more easily. Here, let's eliminate the y variable by adding the two equations together:

    6x + 2y = 18

+   -4x - 2y = -6

____________

    2x  +  0y = 12

x = 12/2 = 6

Plug this back into one of the original equations to find y:

-4x - 2y = -6

-4 * 6 - 2y = -6

-24 - 2y = -6

-2y = 18

y = -9

The solution is (6, -9).
