Answer:

  • cookie: $1.25
  • cupcake: $2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the cost of a cookie and a cupcake, respectively.

  4x +3y = 13.25

  5x +2y = 11.75 . . . . . . the system of equations

___

By Cramer's rule:

  x = (3(11.75) -2(13.25))/(3(5) -2(4)) = 8.75/7 = 1.25

  y = (13.25(5) -11.75(4))/7 = 19.25/7 = 2.75

The cost of one cookie is $1.25; the cost of one cupcake is $2.75.

_____

Cramer's rule gives the solution to the system of equations ...

  ax +by =c

  dx +ey = f

as ...

  ∆ = bd -ea

  x = (bf -ec)/∆

  y = (cd -fa)/∆

leonid [27]
The possiblities that exist:

H, H, H
H, H, T
H, T, H   <----
H, T, T
T, H, H
T, H, T
T, T, H
T, T, T

The answer is 1/8. Now the problem that you gave us isn't dependent upon anything, so more specifically the answer is 1/8 independent.

Nothing has actually happened therefore no odds have been decreased or increased.

What is the best way you learn math?
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

to provide interest in the subject

As per my experience,I used to hate math and always scored less marks,the moment I was going to high school I realized the importance of math towards the future, see you'll find maths in nearly all subjects like the 3 sciences, economics, geography, business e.t.c

Why did you write this question at first?, just take some free time and think about it,the only best way to learn maths is to take maths positively as the best and most valuable subject,if you want to ace math you have to race it, challenge math like you'd challenge anyone to a game, practice math if it's your weakest point, practice is very much needed to skill maths and never be shy to ask your teachers whether you are studying online/offline. You'll need to get the shy behaviour out of you whether you like /don't like your teacher or your an average student.

Concentrate while learning math, whether there's noise in you background or not, Nothing can stop you in excelling math if you have full concentration, positiveness and the "will" to do so.

if you're next to your exams then just one thing, Start now!!

hope this helps!
