Two families stayed at the same hotel in identical rooms. The first family stayed for 5 nights and paid extra to use a rollaway

bed for 2 of the nights. Their total bill was $413. The second family stayed for 3 nights and used a rollaway bed for 1 night. Their total bill was $243.
Part A
Write a system of equations that can be used to find, h, the cost per night of renting a room at the hotel, and b, the cost per night of using a rollaway bed at the hotel.





Part B
Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations from Part A for h and b. Show your work and explain the steps you take.

Part A: The system of equations that can be used is

5h + 2b = 413

3h + b = 243

Part B: The cost per night of renting a room is $73 and the cost per night using a roll away bed is $24

Step-by-step explanation:

Two families stayed at the same hotel in identical rooms

  • The first family stayed for 5 nights and paid extra to use a roll away bed for 2 of the nights.
  • Their total bill was $413
  • The second family stayed for 3 nights and used a roll away bed for 1 night.
  • Their total bill was $243

We need to write a system of equations that can be used to find, h, the cost per night of renting a room at the hotel, and b, the cost per night of using a roll away bed at the hotel and find the values of h and b using the elimination method

Part A:

∵ The first family stayed for 5 nights

∵ The cost of the renting room per night is $h

∴ The cost of the five nights = 5h

∵ The first family paid extra to use a roll away bed for 2 of the nights

∵ The cost of the roll away bed per night is $b

∴ The cost of the two nights = 2b

∵ Their total bill was $413

∴ 5h + 2b = 413 ⇒ (1)

∵ The second family stayed for 3 nights

∵ The cost of the renting room per night is $h

∴ The cost of the five nights = 3h

∵ The first family paid extra to use a roll away bed for 1 of the night

∵ The cost of the roll away bed per night is $b

∴ The cost of the two nights = b

∵ Their total bill was $243

∴ 3h + b = 243 ⇒ (2)

The system of equations that can be used is

5h + 2b = 413

3h + b = 243

Bart B:

∵ 5h + 2b = 413 ⇒ (1)

∵ 3h + b = 243 ⇒ (2)

- Multiply equation (2) by -2 to eliminate b

∴ -6h - 2b = -486 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (1) and (3)

∴ -h = -73

- Multiply both sides by -1

∴ h = 73

Substitute the value of h in equations (1) or (2) to find b

∵ 3(73) + b = 243

∴ 219 + b = 243

- Subtract 219 from both sides

∴ b = 24

The cost per night of renting a room is $73 and the cost per night using a roll away bed is $24

1/4 + 1/2 + x = −3/4
Ostrovityanka [42]

1/4 + 1/2 + x = −3/4

get a common denominator 1/4

1/4 +2/4 +x = -3/4

combine like terms

3/4 +x =-3/4

subtract 3/4 from each side

x = -3/4 -3/4

x = -6/4

divide top and bottom by 2

x = -3/2

x = -1   1/2

Answer : x = -1  1/2

find the area of a circle that has a diameter of 11inches approximate as 13.4 round your answer to the hundreth
Vinil7 [7]

To find the area of a circle you do pi (3.14) multiplied by the radius squared.

The radius is half of the diameter: 11 / 2 = 5.5in

The radius squared is 5.5^2 = 30.25

Then take the squared radius and multiply that by pi 30.25 * 3.14 = 94.985

So the area of the circle is about 94. 99 in.

Hope this helped! Mark as Brainliest please! :)))

If it takes 5 years for an animal population to double, how many years will it take until the population
muminat

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  7.92 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find t such that ...

  3 = 2^(t/5)

where 2^(t/5) is the annual multiplier when doubling time is 5 years.

Taking logs, we have ...

  log(3) = (t/5)log(2)

  t = 5·log(3)/log(2) ≈ 7.92 . . . years

It will take about 7.92 years for the population to triple.
