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)/∆

I did the first one I need help on this that’s all
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

m<A = 70 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 deg. Add the three measures and set equal to 180. Solve for x. then use the value of x and the expression for m<A to find the measure of angle A.

m<A + m<B + m<C = 180

5x - 25 + 2x + 10 + 3x + 5 = 180

10x - 10 = 180

10x = 190

x = 19

m<A = 5x - 25 = 5(19) - 25 = 95 - 25 = 70

Answer: m<A = 70 deg

Find the area of following figure...?​
MrRa [10]

Answer:

33600 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The top and bottom horizontal sides are parallel, so this is a trapezoid with bases DC and AB. The height is BC.

area of trapezoid = (a + b)h/2

where a and b are the lengths of the bases, and h is the height.

We need to find the height, BC.

Drop a perpendicular from point A to segment DC. Call the point of intersection E. E is a point on segment DC.

DE + EC = DC

EC = AB = 360 m

DC = 600 m

DE + 360 m = 600 m

DE = 240 m

Use right triangle ADE to find AE. Then BC = AE.

DE² + AE² = AD²

DE² + 240² = 250²

DE² = 62500 - 57600

DE² = 4900

DE = √4900

DE = 70

BC = 70 = h

area = (a + b)h/2

area = (600 m + 360 m)(70 m)/2

area = 33600 m²
