One hot dog costs $1.75 and one hamburger costs $2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Hot dog = x

Hamburger = y

According to given statement;

7x+2y=16.75   Eqn 1

2x+7y=19.25   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 2;

2(7x+2y=16.75)\\14x+4y=33.50\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Multiplying Eqn 2 by 7;

7(2x+7y=19.25)\\14x+49y=134.75\ \ \ Eqn\ 4

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 4;

(14x+49y)-(14x+4y)=134.75-33.50\\14x+49y-14x-4y=101.25\\45y=101.25

Dividing both sides by 45;

\frac{45y}{45}=\frac{101.25}{45}\\y=2.25

Putting y=2.25 in Eqn 1

7x+2(2.25)=16.75\\7x+4.50=16.75\\7x=16.75-4.50\\7x=12.25

Dividing both sides by 7;

\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{12.25}{7}\\x=1.75

One hot dog costs $1.75 and one hamburger costs $2.25

On a coordinate plane, a dashed straight line has a positive slope and goes through (negative 3, negative 7) and (0, 2). Everyth
crimeas [40]

The inequality described can be written as:

y < 3x + 2.

<h3>How to get the inequality?</h3>

First, we know that we have a dashed line, and the region to the left of that line is shaded, then we will have:

y < line.

The linear equation is of the form:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Remember that if a line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope is:

a = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Here we know that the line passes through (-3, -7) and (0, 2), so the slope is:

a = \frac{2 - (-7)}{0 - (-3)} = 9/3 = 3

And because the line passes through (0, 2), the y-intercept is 2, then the inequality is:

y < 3x + 2.

Y’all what’s this I’m so confused help
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

x = 66

Step-by-step explanation:

√(x - 2) + 3 = 11

Subtract 3 from both sides:  √(x - 2) = 8

Square both sides:                   x - 2 = 64

Add 2 to both sides:                      x = 66

how does the appearence of a histogram change when u use many small intervals then when you use a few large intervals
vampirchik [111]
If you're using a few larger intervals, then your histogram looks more stocky. If you imagine drawing one, it's because you're adding more values into the same category which can make the difference between two intervals much more noticeable. If you're using smaller intervals, however, you can much more accurately assess the difference between two different intervals. For that reason, the transition between one and another interval would look much more 'fluid'.
