Answer:
Here is a graph I created.
For Miguel to spend the least amount of money, he would have to buy 2 gallons for $5.98 and two 1/2 gallons for $4.20. The total is $10.18.
I'm stuck on the next question though.
Answer:
11/4
Step-by-step explanation:
3/2 can be re-written as 6/4. they now have the same denominator. 6/4 + 5/4 = 11/4
AD = BC
x+2 = 2x - 3
2x -x = 2+3
x = 5
AB = DC
2y +1 = 3x - 2
2y + 1 = 3(5) - 2
2y + 1 = 13
2y = 13 - 1
2y = 12
y = 6
answer: x = 5 and y = 6
Answer:
the answer is 5y
Step-by-step explanation:
the 5 is the number that is being multiplied (y) is the number of friends
To solve this problem, we can set two equations.
Let x be the cost of coffee and y be the cost of latte.
Two coffees and one latte: 2x + y = 10.50
y=10.50 - 2x ...(1)
Three coffees and two lattes: 3x + 2y = 17.00...(2)
Put (1) into (2), we have:
3x + 2(10.50-2x) = 17.00
3x + 2(10.50) - 2(2x) = 17.00
3x + 21 - 4x = 17
Put the unknown to one side:
3x -4x = 17 - 21
-x = -4
When there are negative numbers on both sides, we can take the negative signs away:
x= 4
Therefore, cost of one coffee is A. $4.00.
Hope ot helps!
