Solve the following word problem by using a system of equations.

For this problem, we can use systems of equations. I will use the variables <em>x </em> (for ice-cream) and <em>y</em> (for soda). We get the system:

2.25x+0.75y=30.00
x+y=18

Putting the second equation in terms of y, we get that y=-x+18. We can substitute this into our first equation.

2.25x+0.75y=30.00
becomes
2.25x+0.75(-x+18)=30

Solving for x, we get that x=11. This satisfies answer B.

However, if you want to check to see if this is correct, you could find y by plugging in your value of x into the first equation, then check to see if your found values satisfy BOTH equations.

2.25(11)+0.75y=30
24.75+0.75y=30
0.75y=5.25
y=7

Then we plug this into both equations to see if they are true.

2.25(11)+0.75(7)=30
24.75+5.25=30
30=30 (This is true)

x+y=18
11+7=18
18=18 (This is true).

Both equations are true, so the value for x and y are correct. We see that only answer B is supported through analyzing your work.

What is the most precise name for quadrilateral ABCD with vertices A(–5,2), B(–3, 5),C(4, 5),and D(2, 2)?
bonufazy [111]

Answer: ABCD is a parallelogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we plot these point on a graph as given in attachment.

From the attachment we can observe that AD || BC || x-axis .

also, AB ||CD, that will make ABCD a parallelogram ,  but to confirm we check the property of parallelogram "diagonals bisect each other" , i.e . "Mid point of both diagonals are equal".

Mid point of AC= (\dfrac{-5+4}{2},\dfrac{2+5}{2})=(\dfrac{-1}{2},\dfrac{7}{2})

Mid point of BD= (\dfrac{-3+2}{2},\dfrac{5+2}{2})=(\dfrac{-1}{2},\dfrac{7}{2})

Thus, Mid point of AC=Mid point of BD

i.e. diagonals bisect each other.

That means ABCD is a parallelogram.

I don’t know how to get it
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

3x+7+4x-16= 180 degrees

7x-9=180

7x=189

x= 27

yax= 3x+7

3*27+7= 81+7 = 88
