Let
C---------> <span>the cost of a pizza
</span>t----------> <span>number of toppings

we know that
</span>$15.74-3t=$14.49-2t
15.74-14.49=3t-2t-------------> t=1.25

the cost of one topping is $1.25
and the cost of one pizza <span>without topping is
</span>15.74-3*1.25--------> $11.99

then
<span>an equation for the cost of a pizza, C, as a function of the number of toppings, t ordered is
</span>C=11.99+1.25t

the answer is 
C=11.99+1.25t

Answer:

f(c)=1.25x+11.99

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of toppings

Let c be the cost of pizza

Cedric got pepperoni, banana peppers, and black olives on his pizza for a cost of $15.74.

Josh ordered mushrooms and eggplant on his pizza and paid $14.49.

As the toppings has the same cost, we can equate the equations:

15.74-3x=14.49-2x

3x-2x=15.74-14.49

x = $1.25

Thus each topping costs $1.25.

And cost of any pizza without topping = 14.49-2(1.25)=11.99 dollars

So, the function becomes in terms of c ;

f(c)=1.25x+11.99

The base price of pizza is $11.99 and it will increase as the toppings increase.

Elliot has a total of 26 books. He has 12 more fiction books than nonfiction books. Let x represent the number of fiction books
AlladinOne [14]

<u>Answers</u>

19 fiction books

7 nonfiction books


<u>Explanation</u>

x + y = 26  ............................................. (i)

x – y = 12  ............................................ (ii)

Elliot added the two equations and the result was

2x = 38.

Dividing both sides by 2;

x = 19

There are 19 fiction books.

Substituting x in equation (i),

x + y = 26             when x = 19

19 + y = 26

y = 26 - 19

   = 7

There are 7 nonfiction books

A tangent and a secant x = ?
guajiro [1.7K]

x = 45°

Solution:

Given data:

Measure of larger arc = 152°

Measure of smaller arc = 62°

<em>If a tangent and a secant intersect at the exterior of a circle then the measure of angle formed is one-half the positive difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.</em>

$\Rightarrow  x = \frac{1}{2}(\text{ larger arc }- \text{smaller arc} )

$\Rightarrow  x = \frac{1}{2}(152^\circ-62^\circ)

$\Rightarrow  x = \frac{1}{2}(90^\circ)

⇒ x = 45°

The value of x is 45°.

Given the linear equation 2x + y = 6, perform the necessary operations to put the equation into the proper general form. Explain
likoan [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation is y = mx + c...

The given equation is 2x + y = 6

Firstly, move everything on the left except the y to the right.i.e.

y = 6 - 2x

Secondly, rearrange the values on the right to look just like the general equation.

y = -2x + 6

The equation is now in proper general form because it matches the format laid down.
