Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a systems of equations question. Let's set ribeye steak to the variable r, and grilled salmon to s.

We get these two equations:

13r + 18s = 550.25

22r + 6s = 582.08

First, we'll isolate one variable in the first equation. Let's choose r:

13r = 550.25 - 18s

r = 42.33 - 1.38s

Now, we'll take this value for r and plug it into the second equation:

22r + 6s = 582.08

22 (42.33 - 1.38s) + 6s = 582.08

(931.19 - 30.46s) + 6s = 582.08 | multiply values by 22

931.19 - 24.46s = 582.08 | combine s values

349.11 = 24.46s | move 582.08 to left side, and combine; move -24.46s to right side

14.27 = s | solve for s

Now, plug this value for s back into the first equation:

13r + 18s = 550.25

13r + 18 (14.27) = 550.25

13r = 256.91 = 550.25

13r = 293.34

r = 22.56

So r = 22.56 and s = 14.27.

The ribeye steak dinners cost $22.56 each and the grilled salmon dinners cost $14.27 each.

Note, this solution does not factor in any tips the waitress makes on each dinner!

The equation which represents the data in the table as in the task content is; Choice C; y = 2x +3.

<h3>What is the equation which represents the data in the table as attached?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the slope of the relation can be determined by means of the slope formula for a linear equation as follows;

Slope = (1-(-1))/(-1 -(-2))

Slope = 2.

Hence, the equation which represents the function is;

2 = (y-(-1))/(x -(-2))

2x + 4 = y +1

y = 2x + 3.

Therefore, the equation which represents the data in the table as in the task content is; Choice C; y = 2x +3.

Rewrite the system of linear equations as a matrix equation AX = B.

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2&5\\1&1&1\\4&6&5\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x1\\x2\\x3\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5\\6\\7\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the answer.

Because we have 3 equations and 3 variables (x1, x2, x3) a 3x3 matrix (A) can be constructed by using their respectively coefficients.

Equations:

Eq. 1 : x1 + 2x2 + 5x3 = 5

Eq. 2 : x1 + x2 + x3 = 6

E1. 3 : 4x1 + 6x2 + 5x3 = 7

Coefficients for x1 ; x2 ; x3

From eq. 1 : 1 ; 2 ; 5

From eq. 2 : 1 ; 1 ; 1

From eq. 3 : 4 ; 6 ; 5

So matrix A is:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2&5\\1&1&1\\4&6&5\end{array}\right]$

And the vector of vriables (X) is:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x1\\x2\\x3\end{array}\right]$

Now we can find the resulting vector (B) using the 'resulting values' from each equation:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5\\6\\7\end{array}\right]$

In conclusion, AX=B is:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2&5\\1&1&1\\4&6&5\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x1\\x2\\x3\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5\\6\\7\end{array}\right]$

Solve 12^x^2+5x-4 = 12^2x+6

faust18 [17]

The solutions for ‘x’ are 2 and -5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given equation:

$12^{x^{2}+5 x-4}=12^{2 x+6}$

Since the base on both sides as ‘12’ are the same, we can write it as

$x^{2}+5 x-4=2 x+6$

$x^{2}+5 x-2 x-4-6=0$

$x^{2}+3 x-10=0$

Often, the value of x is easiest to solve by $a x^{2}+b x+c=0$ by factoring a square factor, setting each factor to zero, and then isolating each factor. Whereas sometimes the equation is too awkward or doesn't matter at all, or you just don't feel like factoring.

<u>The Quadratic Formula:</u> For $a x^{2}+b x+c=0$ , the values of x which are the solutions of the equation are given by:

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Where, a = 1, b = 3 and c = -10

$x=\frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{(-3)^{2}-4(1)(-10)}}{2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{9+40}}{2}$

$x=\frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{49}}{2}=\frac{-3 \pm 7}{2}$

So, the solutions for ‘x’ are

$x=\frac{-3+7}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2$

$x=\frac{-3-7}{2}=\frac{-10}{2}=-5$

The solutions for ‘x’ are 2 and -5

Rooter Plus charges a $25 service fee plus $40 per hour of work done. Is this a proportional or non-proportional relationship?

Dominik [7]

Answer:

Non-proportional; the rate of change is $40/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line <u>and the line passes through the origin</u>

Let

x -----> the number of hours

y ----> The total charge in dollars

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

we have

$m=40\ \$/h\\b=\$25$

substitute

$y=40x+25$

This relationship is not proportional, because the line not passes through the origin

therefore

Non-proportional; the rate of change is $40/hour
