Answer:

the cost of one hot chocolate is $2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the hot chocolate cost and y be the newspaper cost.

Given:

A newspaper and three hot chocolates cost $7

So, the equation is

3x+y=7--------(1)

Two newspapers and two hot chocolates cost $6

So, the second equation is.

2x+2y=6---------(2)

Find one hot chocolate cost?

Solve equation 1 for y.

3x+y=7

y=7-3x

Put y value in equation 2

2x+2(7-3x)=6

2x+14-6x=6

14-4x=6

-4x=6-14

-4x=-8

negative sign is cancelled both side.

x=\frac{8}{4}

x=2

Therefore, the cost of one hot chocolate is $2.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-5, -3) and has a<br> slope of -1
lesya [120]

Answer:

y= -x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

The ones in the equation are in subscript, couldn't get the equation creator to work properly....DO NOT multiply by one, they are merely subscript meant to help you identify which pair to use.

y-y1=m(x-x1)

-5=x1

-3=y1

-1=m

y- -3=-1(x- -5) then you arrive at y+3=-1(x+5)

y+3=-x-5 now you isolate the y on the left y=-x-8

I don't understand the question. Help please?<br><br>Find the value of X<br><br>Find the value of Y
slava [35]
Let's start with x... Since angle AOE is a 90 degree angle, then we know the supplementary angle EOB is also 90 degrees.  The 2 angles that make up angle EOB are given to us as expressions.  Added together the must equal 90 degrees...

(x+8) + (2x-8) = 90
3x = 90
x = 30

Now if we look at y, we see it is an opposite angle from angle DOB.  Because it is opposite, it is also congruent... so it has to be equal to angle DOB... and since angle DOB is 2x - 8, we can substitute x with the answer we found in the last step, 30, to find the angle.

2x - 8= y
2(30) - 8 = y
60 - 8 = y
y = 52 degrees

Since angle DOB equals 52 degrees, then y = 52 degrees

x = 30 degrees
y = 52 degrees

*Note, you can also find the value of angles GOF and EOD by plugging x (30) into the expressions.
