Answer:

Let x represents the Sara eat pancake and y represents the Phil eat the pancake.

As per the statement:

Phil ate three less than twice as many pancakes as Sara.

"Twice as many pancake as Sara" means 2x

"three less than twice as many pancakes as Sara" means 2x -3

⇒y = 2x-3         .....[1]

It is also given that together they combined to eat 15 pancakes.

⇒x+y =15      .....[2]

Substitute equation [1] into [2] we get;

x+2x-3 = 15

Combine like terms;

3x-3 =15

Add 3 to both sides we get;

3x = 18

Divide both sides by 3 we get;

x = 6

Substitute the value of x in [1] we get;

y = 2(6)-3 = 12-3 =9

y = 9

Therefore, the pancakes did each eat are;

Sara eat pancake = 6 and Phil eat pancake = 9

Find the equations of the lines...

First find the slope...(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=m

m=(6-1)/(8-5)=5/3 and it passes through (5,1) so

y=mx+b becomes:

y=5x/3+b and using (5,1)

1=5(5)/3+b

1=25/3+b

3/3-25/3=b

b=-22/3 so 

y1=(5x-22)/3

.... now y2...

m=(8-3)/(-1--4)=5/3 (note it has the same slope as y1...

y=5x/3+b and using the point (-1,8)

8=5(-1)/3+b

8=-5/3+b

24/3+5/3=b

b=29/3, now note that the y-intercept is different...

y2=(5x+29)/3

Since these lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts, they are parallel to each other. (and will never intersect.)

Eddie's Evergreens sells Christmas trees and wreaths. Trees cost 3 dollars more than 4 times the price of each wreath. It costs
kari74 [83]

Answer:

W = 16

T = 67

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent trees with T and wreaths with W

Given

T = 3 + 4 * W

2 * W + T = 99

Solving (a): Cost of W

Substitute 3 + 4 * W for T in the second equation

2*W + 3 + 4 * W = 99

2W + 3 + 4 W = 99

Collect Like Terms

2W + 4 W = 99 - 3

6W = 96

Divide through by 6

W =\frac{96}{6}

W = 16

Hence, each wreath costs $16

Solving (b): Cost of T

T = 3 + 4 * W

Substitute 16 for W

T = 3 + 4 * 16

T = 3 + 64

T = 67

Hence, each tree costs $67

Which of these tables is a non linear function
adoni [48]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Because on all the graphs all the numbers on the Y side are essentially adding one.  With the 3rd graph, it goes from 17 to 19, skipping 18.  Therefore it is not linear.

Answer:

51.39 units³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of the prism is calculated as

V = area of base × height

Here area of base = 5.71 and height = 9, thus

V = 5.71 × 9 = 51.39 units³
