Equation is 4b + 5m = €10.90, and values of b and m are €1.35 and €1.1 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find equation for Thursday's sales.

Given b = price of a loaf of bread and m = price of one liter of milk

Total sales = €10.90

Equation ⇒ 4b + 5m = €10.90

Step 2: Find the values of b and m.

3b + 2m = 6.25 ----- (1)

4b + 5m = 10.90 ---- (2)

Multiply eq(1) by 5 and eq(2) by 2 to make coefficients of m equal.

15b + 10m = 31.25

8b + 10m = 21.8

Subtract eq(2) from eq(1)

⇒ 7b = 9.45

⇒ b = 9.45/7 = €1.35

Substitute for b and find m using eq(1).

⇒ 3 × 1.35 + 2m = 6.25

⇒ 4.05 + 2m = 6.25

⇒ 2m = 2.2

∴∴ m = 2.2/2 = €1.1

Which equation represents a circle that contains the point (-5, 3) and has a center at (-2, 1)? Distance formula: vaa -02 (x - 1

natali 33 [55]

Given:

The center of the circle = (-2,1).

Circle passes through the point (-5,3).

To find:

The equation of the circle.

Solution:

Radius is the distance between the center of the circle and any point on the circle. So, radius of the circle is the distance between the points (-2,1) and (-5,3).

$Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

$r=\sqrt{(-5-(-2))^2+(3-1)^2}$

$r=\sqrt{(-5+2)^2+(2)^2}$

$r=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(2)^2}$

On further simplification, we get

$r=\sqrt{9+4}$

$r=\sqrt{13}$

The standard form of a circle is:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

Where, (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius of the circle.

Substitute h=-2, k=1 and $r=\sqrt{13}$ .

$(x-(-2))^2+(y-1)^2=(\sqrt{13})^2$

$(x+2)^2+(y-1)^2=13$

Therefore, the equation of the circle is $(x+2)^2+(y-1)^2=13$ .
