Answer:

The cost of a chicken shawarma wrap = $10.99

The cost of an order of spiced potatoes=$4.99

Equations needed

3x+2y =42.95

5x + 4y=74.91

Step-by-step explanation:

x = the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap

y = the cost of an order of spiced potatoes

Ms. Ironperson

3x+2y =42.95

Mr. Thoro

5x + 4y=74.91

3x+2y =42.95 (1)

5x + 4y=74.91 (2)

Multiply (1) by 2

6x + 4y=85.9 (3)

5x + 4y=74.91. (2)

Subtract (2) from (3)

6x - 5x= 85.9 - 74.91

x=$10.99

Substitute the value of x into (1)

3x+2y =42.95 (1)

3(10.99) + 2y =42.95

32.97 + 2y = 42.95

2y = 42.95 - 32.97

2y=9.98

Divide both sides by 2

y=9.98/2

=4.99

y=$4.99

Therefore,

The cost of a chicken shawarma wrap = $10.99

The cost of an order of spiced potatoes=$4.99

The graph of which function passes through the point ( 0,pi/2 )
inn [45]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

y = cos ^- 1 (x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The Function y = cos -1x = arccos x and its Graph: Since y = cos -1x is the inverse of the function y = cos x, the function y = cos -1x if and only if cos y = x. This leaves the range of the restricted function unchanged as [-1, 1].

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:



One days trip of to school from home and back home from school is 2/3 of a mile. We want to know how far it is to school from her house.

To solve this, we simply need to take half of the total distance (2/3)

\frac{2}{3} / 2

Next, we need to turn the 2 into a fraction. Every whole number can be made into a fraction by putting it over 1.

\frac{2}{3} / \frac{2}{1}

Because we are dividing, we need to invert the second fraction and then multiply.

\frac{2}{3} * \frac {1}{2}

Next, we multiply the top of the first fraction by the top of the second and the bottom of the first fraction by the bottom of the second.

\frac{2}{6}

Once you reduce, you get:

\frac{1}{3}
