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

Answer:

x > 7

Step-by-step explanation:

you move over the 10 to the left and it becomes negative.

x > 17 - 10

Prime numbers have only 2 factors 1 and its number for example:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23

Like this 1*2. Or 3*1

Composite numbers have more than two factors for example :
0, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14 15, 16..

For example 0 has many factors

Answer:

Number of dogs = 6

Number of burgers = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of dogs = x

Number of burgers = 2x - 1

Cost of a dog = $ 1.50

Cost of 'x' dogs = 1.5x

Cost of a burger = $ 2

Cost of (2x - 1) burger = (2x -1) * 2 = 2x *2 - 1*2

                                    = 4x - 2

Total amount collected  = $ 31

1.5x + 4x - 2 = 31 {add 2 to both sides}

        1.5x + 4x = 31 + 2

      1.5x+ 4x  = 33

               5.5x = 33

                    x = 33/5.5

                   x = 6

Number of dogs  = 6

Number of burgers = 2*6 - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11
