Let  the steaks = X and the salmon = y.

Set up two equations:

15x + 18y = 559.81

19x + 9y = 583.66

Now using the elimination method:

Multiply the second equation by -2, then add the equations together.

(15x+18y=559.81)

−2(19x+9y=583.66)

Becomes:

15x+18y=559.81

−38x−18y=−1167.32

Add these equations to eliminate y:

−23x=−607.51

Divide both sides by -23 to solve for x:

x= -607.51 = -23 = 26.413478

Now you have the cost for a steak.

To solve for the cost of the salmon, replace x with the value in the first equation and solve for y.

15(26.413478) + 18y = 559.91

396.202174 + 18y = 559.81

Subtract 396.202174 from both sides:

18y = 163.607826

Divide both sides by 18:

y = 163.607826 / 18

y = 9.089324

Round both x and Y to the nearest cent:

X (Steaks) =$26.41

Y (Salmon) = $9.09

Which are factors of x2 – 4x – 5?
Kitty [74]

Answer:

(x-5)(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the highest power of x is 2, u can assume the equation to be (x +/- A) (x +/- B), whereby A and B are unknowns.

Since the coefficient of X^2 is 1, and the number in the equation is - 5, the only possible values for A and B to get - 5 is either - 5 and 1 or 1 and - 5.

Since coefficient of x is - 4 and number in equation is - 5, imagine inserting those numbers in the equation and cross multiplying back. You would realise that the answer should be as listed above.

Find the length of x exactly. Brainly!!
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We can tell by looking at this triangle that this is a <u>45 45 90 triangle.</u>

In this situation, the hypotenuse is x\sqrt{2} and the legs are both x.So if we look at the hypotenuse, we can tell that x, or the leg of the triangle, is 7.

45 45 90 triangles: This is a special triangle in which the angles of the triangle are 45 45 and 90 degrees. This means that the hypotenuse will be x\sqrt{2} and the legs of the triangle will be x. You can usually use the Pythagorean theorem to solve the missing sides.
