Answer: The cost of a chicken wrap is $10.99

The cost of one order of potatoes is $4.99.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a chicken wrap be x

Let the cost of one order of potatoes be y.

From the question,

3x + 2y = $42.95 ...... equation i

5x + 4y = $74.91 ....... equation ii

Multiply equation i by 5

Multiply equation ii by 3

15x + 10y = $214.75 ..... equation iii

15x + 12y = $224.73 ....... equation iv

Subtract equation iv from equation iii. This will be:

-2y = -$9.98

y = $9.98/2

y = $4.99

Since 3x + 2y = $42.95

3x + 2($4.99) = $42.95

3x + $9.98 = $42.95

3x = $42.95 - $9.98

3x = $32.97

x = $32.97/3

x = $10.99

The cost of a chicken wrap is $10.99

The cost of one order of potatoes is $4.99.

Answer:20%


Step-by-step explanation:so we start with x as the year before. then we get 2x from 100%. this year it would be 2x times 150% which is equal to 3x added to the year before. That would be 5x. 5x compared to x people would think is 500% but it is switched the other way to 20%.

convert [0,2] into 8 subintervals

width of each interval is

\delta x =\frac{2-0}{8}=0.25

All subintervals are:

[0, 0.25], [0.25, 0.5], [0.5, 0.75], [0.75, 1], [1, 1.25], [1.25, 1.5], [1.5, 1.75] and [1.75, 2]

Let, x_i be the right end point of each interval i=1,..8

x_1=0.25, x_2=0.5, x_3=0.75, x_4=1, x_5=1.25, x_6=1.5, x_7=1.75, x_8=2

Reiman sum is

R_8=\delta x[f(x_1)+f(x_2)+...f(8)]\\\\0.25[f(0.25)+f(0.5)+...+f(2)]\\\\0.25\times[-23.25]\\=-5.8125

Please help could you explain or show work so I will remember how to do problems like this?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - (x - 4) = - 20

Distribute the minus sign

4x - x +4 = -20

Combine like terms

3x+4 = -20

Subtract 4 from each side

3x+4-4 = -20-4

3x = -24

Divide by 3

3x/3 = -24/3

x = -8
