Casey can buy 3 sandwiches and 5 cups of coffee for $26. Eric can buy 4

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's identify what we are looking for in terms of variables.  Sandwiches are s and coffee is c.  Casey buys 3 sandwiches, which is represented then by 3s, and 5 cups of coffee, which is represented by 5c.   Those all put together on one bill comes to 26.  So Casey's equation for his purchases is 3s + 5c = 26.  Eric buys 4 sandwiches, 4s, and 2 cups of coffee, 2c, and his total purchase was 23.  Eric's equation for his purchases then is 4s + 2c = 23.  In order to solve for c, the cost of a cup of coffee, we need to multiply both of those bolded equations by some factor to eliminate the s's.  The coefficients on the s terms are 4 and 3.  4 and 3 both go into 12 evenly, so we will multiply the first bolded equation by 4 and the second one by -3 so the s terms cancel out.  4[3s + 5c = 26] means that 12s + 20c = 104.  Multiplying the second  bolded equation   by -3:  -3[4s + 2c = 23] means that -12s - 6c = -69.  The s terms cancel because 12s - 12s = 0s.  We are left with a system of equations that just contain one unknown now, which is c, what we are looking to solve for.  20c = 104 and -6c = -69.  Adding those together by the method of elimination (which is what we've been doing all this time), 14c = 35.  That means that c = 2.5 and a cup of coffee is $2.50.  There you go!

What is the true solution to the equation below? In e^in x + in e^in x^2 = 2 in 8
mariarad [96]
To solve the given equation, w need to review some rules:
(1) \ ln \ e = 1 \\ &#10;(2) \ ln \  b^{a} = a*ln \ b \\&#10;(3) \ ln \ a + ln \ b = ln \ (ab) \\&#10;(4) \ ln \ a - ln \ b = ln \  \frac{a}{b}  \\

The given equation is :
ln \  e^{ln \ x} + ln \  e^{ln \  x^{2}} = 2 \ ln \ 8
ln \ x * ln \ e + ln \  x^{2} * ln \ e = 2 \ ln \ 8  ⇒⇒⇒⇒ rule (2)
ln \ x + ln \  x^{2} = ln \  8^{2}  ⇒⇒⇒⇒ rule (1) and rule (2)

ln \ ( x*  x^{2} ) = ln \ 64          ⇒⇒⇒⇒ rule (3)
removing the nature logarithm from both sides

x^{3} = 64 =  4^{3}
∴ x = 4


So, the correct answer is option (2) ⇒⇒⇒⇒ x = 4

Pls help me with this question.
umka21 [38]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is in y=mx+b format. The y is the final amount that you will have to pay. The m in this case is the amount of money that you are paying for each individual month (which is $34.99). The x in this case is the number of months you are paying for (which is 1). And b is the starting fee that you have to pay in order to get a membership in the first place (but will not have to pay after the first month). Thus, seeing as there is 1 month's worth of payment and a starting fee tagged on, y would equal the average total cost for the first month of a gym membership.
