Answer:

The cost of each ice cream cone is $4.50

The cost of each ice cream basket is $3.75

The cost of each donut is $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the cost of the ice cream cone

y----> the cost of the ice cream basket

z---> the cost of the donut

we know that

2x+y=12.75 ------> y=12.75-2x ------> equation A

x+2z=7.50 ------> z=(7.50-x)/2 -----> equation B

x+y+z=9.75 ----> equation C

substitute equation A and equation B in equation C and solve for x

x+(12.75-2x)+((7.50-x)/2)=9.75

Multiply by 2 both sides

2x+25.50-4x+7.50-x=19.50

3x=25.50+7.5-19.50

3x=13.5

x=$4.50

Find the value of y

y=12.75-2(4.50)=$3.75

Find the value of z

z=(7.50-4.50)/2=$1.50

therefore

The cost of each ice cream cone is $4.50

The cost of each ice cream basket is $3.75

The cost of each donut is $1.50

Mike measured the stage where his band was going to play to determine if it is a right triangle. Does the stage with side length

katrin [286]

Answer:

let

hypotenuse[h]=60ft

base[b]=36ft

perpendicular [p]=48ft

by using Pythagoras law

p²+b²=h²

48²+36²=60²

2896≠3600

since p²+b²≠ h²[so the stage is not in a right angled triangle]but it is scalene triangle

The price of a new dishwasher is £376. This price includes VAT at a rate of 17.5%. What was the price before VAT was added?

dsp73

£376=117.5% so (376/117.5)= 1% x 100= £320 is the original price

Our first expression is $(2p^{-3} q^{8} )^{4}$ . Upon distributing the exponent 4 on all the terms, we get:

$(2p^{-3} q^{8} )^{4}=2^{4}(p^{-3})^{4}(q^{8})^{4}=16p^{-12}q^{32}=\frac{16q^{32}}{p^{12}}$

Therefore, your answer is correct for this part. :)

Second expression is $(2m^{-4}n^{5})^{-2}$ . Upon distributing the exponent -2 on all the terms, we get:

$(2m^{-4}n^{5})^{-2}=2^{-2}(m^{-4})^{-2}(n^{5})^{-2}=2^{-2}m^{8}n^{-10}=\frac{m^{8}}{4n^{10}}$

Your second answer is correct too.

Our third expression is $2(5g^{-4}h^{-6})^{2}$ . Upon distributing the exponent 2 on all the terms, we get:

$2(5g^{-4}h^{-6})^{2}=2(5^{2})(g^{-4})^{2}(h^{-6})^{2}=2(25)g^{-8}h^{-12}=\frac{50}{g^{8}h^{12}}$

This one is not correct. Your answer would have been correct, if the exponent were -2 instead of 2 in this part.

Our forth and last expression is $4(2c^{-3}d^{6})^{-5}$ . Upon distributing the exponent -5 on all the terms inside the parenthesis, we get:

$4(2c^{-3}d^{6})^{-5}=4(2^{-5})(c^{-3})^{-5}(d^{6})^{-5}=\frac{4}{2^{5}}(c^{15})(d^{-30})=\frac{4c^{15}}{32d^{30}}=\frac{c^{15}}{8d^{30}}$

Therefore, your answer for this part is also correct.

Looking at your work, I don't think you made a mistake in number 3 also, probably mis-typed the question while writing here :)
