Answer:

Pecan cheesecake = $11

Strawberry cheesecake= $19

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we will need to set up a system of equations:

Let's call "Pecan cheesecakes" 'x', and

"Strawberry cheesecakes" 'y'.

We can set up the equations once we have our variables:

276= 13x + 7y

295 = 13x +8y

We will need to subtract these equations from each other to get rid of the 'x' variable. This gives us:

295 = 13x+ 8y

276 = 13x+ 7y

19 = y

Therefore, Strawberry cheesecakes cost $19. Plug this into an equation to get the value of 'x':

276= 13x + 7(19)

276 = 13x + 133

143 = 13x

x= $11.

Therefore, Pecan cheesecakes cost $11.

Answer:

Reduced equaton is $5x-3y+\frac{28}{3}=0$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parametric equation is,

$x=3t-5$ and $y=5t+1$

Now, $x=3t-5\implies t=\frac{x+5}{3}$ substitute in second equation we get,

$y=\frac{5}{3}(x+5)+1$

$y=\frac{5}{3}x+\frac{28}{9}$

$\implies 5x-3y+\frac{28}{3}=0$

which is the corresponding rectangular equation after eliinating the parameter.

Now consider,

$y=\frac{5}{3}x+\frac{28}{9}$

Of which,

Slope : $\frac{5}{3}$

when,

$x=0, y=\frac{28}{9}=3.1$

$x=1, y=\frac{43}{9}=4.8; x=-1, y=\frac{13}{9}=1.4$

$x=2, y=\frac{58}{9}=6.4; x=-2, y=\frac{-2}{9}=-0.2$

$x=3, y=\frac{73}{9}=8.1; x=-3, y=\frac{-17}{9}=-1.8$

$x=4, y=\frac{88}{9}=9.8; x=-4, y=\frac{-32}{9}=-3.6$

$x=5, y=\frac{103}{9}=11.4; x=-5, y=\frac{-47}{9}=-5.2$

ans so on. Thus sketching th curve will look like given,

Simplify x + 3x – 36.

Katena32 [7]

Hey there!!

Equation Given : x + 3x - 36

In order to solve this, we will need to combine the like terms.

What are like terms?

Like terms are terms which have the same variable, in the equation given, the variable mentioned is x and hence, the like terms are x and 3x.

Now, we will need to combine x and 3x.

Let's take x as 1x and 3x as 3x.

Now, we will need to add both these like terms.

1x + 3x

x will be common, we will need to add 1 and 3

1 + 3 is 4 and hence, 1x + 3x = 4x

Hence, the final equation would be :

4x - 36

Hence, the answer is option ( c )

Hope my answer helps!
