There's no need for a system of linear equations if you were to solve a real life problem like this. In calculus, they don't give a rat about HOW you get your answer to an easy algebra 1 equation, as long as you used one of the correct methods and got the right answer.
Best of luck my friend. :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For Question 3, we are simply taking an input for the function, as a value of x and solving the equation. For part a, we substitute 3/14 into the first function, and solve it:
f(x) = 7(3/14) + 2
f(x) = 21/14 + 2
f(x) = 49/14
f(x) = 7/2
For part b, we take the input of -3 into the second function and solve the equation:
h(x) = 4(-3)^2
h(x) = 4(9)
h(x) = 36
For Question 4, we are simply solving this equation by isolating the x variable. First, we simplify the equation to 4-5x+15+2x = -2 and simplify this again to -3x+19 = -2. Now, we can subtract 19 from both sides of the equation to get -3x = -21. Lastly, we isolate the x variable by dividing both sides of this equation by -3, to get x = 7.
Answer:
The price for a small glass of milk is $0.95, and the price for a breakfast taco is $1.15.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the price of a taco be x and the price for a small glass of milk be y.
Multiply the first equation by 2:
Subtract the new third equation from the second equation:
Hence, the price for a small glass of milk is $0.95.
Substitute y into the first equation.
Therefore, the price for a breakfast taco is $1.15.
Hope this helped!
