Answer:
4 cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of cookies he sold be c and that of brownies be b.
Assuming that brownies and cookies are the only type of baked goods sold,
b +c= 10 -----(1)
Amount of money received= $20
b(cost of brownie) +c(cost of cookie)= $20
2.50b +1.25c= 20 -----(2)
From (1): b= 10 -c -----(3)
Substitute (3) into (2):
2.50(10 -c) +1.25c= 20
Expand:
2.50(10) +2.50(-c) +1.25c= 20
25 -2.50c +1.25c= 20
-1.25c +25= 20
Being constants to 1 side:
-1.25c= 20 -25
-1.25c= -5
c= -5 ÷(-1.25)
c= 4
Thus, Joe sold 4 cookies.
36
Step-by-step explanation:
360/2=180
180/5=36
Answer:
a(n) = -20 + 3(n - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
a(n) = -20 + 3(n - 1)
divide both sides by a negative one to get ride of the -y then on your graph it be a horizontal line at the point (0,-34)

Choice B and Choice C
====================================================
Reasoning:
c = cost of one crate (some unknown amount in dollars)
c+20 = cost of a crate and a leash
5(c+20) = cost of five sets of items mentioned
5(c+20) = 475 is one equation we can form
5c+100 = 475 is another equation we can form
I used the distributive rule to go from 5(c+20) to 5c+100.
The 100 indicates that the five leashes combine to $100, since 5*20 = 100.
The 5c represents the cost of all five crates combined.
So 5c+100 is another way to express the total cost of all five crates and all five leashes.
---------------
Side note: Solving either equation leads to c = 75, meaning that each crate costs $75.
