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

  • 3.3 minutes were saved

Step-by-step explanation:

R1·T1 = (69 mph)(32 min) = 2208 (mi·min/h)

R2·T2 = 2208 (mi·min/h) = (77 mi/h)·T2

T2 = 2208/77 min ≈ 28.7 min . . . . . travel time on Thursday

Which equation is equivalent to 3 + 5(x + 2) = 12? A 8x + 16 = 12 B 8x + 2 = 12 C 5x + 5 = 12 D 5x + 13 = 12​
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

D 5x + 13 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

3 + 5(x + 2) = 12

3 + 5x + 10 = 12

5x = -1

x = -1/5

D) 5x + 13 = 12

5x = 12 - 13 = -1

x = -1/5

Help please I don’t understand this at all & been stuck here for a hour
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4b + 8 = 20

Subtract 8 from both sides

4b + 8 - 8 = 20 - 8

4b = 12

Now divide both sides by 4

4b/4 = 12/4

b = 3

Check:

LHS = 4b + 8

       = 4*3 + 8

        = 12 + 8

        = 20 = RHS

This table shows how many students from two high schools attended a
nalin [4]

Answer:

C. 0.60

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find out a couple things first:

  1. How many students are from Westville?
  2. How many students did not attend the game that are from Westville?

We need to find specifically Westville, because we don't want to accidentally pick someone from North Beach who attended.

So let's look:

  1. Total from Westville: 150
  2. Total who did not attend from Westville: 90

Now in order to find a probability, we need to divide the smaller number from the biggest number. Let's do that:

90/150 = 0.6

And for this question, we specifically have to round to two decimal places. In order to do this, we just write the extra 0 at the end:

0.6 = 0.60

Look at that, 0.60 is one of our answers! :D
