Answer:

Price of each turkey sandwich = $6.5

price of each ham sandwich = $5.5

2a + 5b = 40.50.........(i)

4a + b = 31.50..............(ii)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

price of each turkey sandwich = a

price of each ham sandwich = b

Stefan purchase

2a + 5b = 40.50.........(i)

Nancy purchase

4a + b = 31.50..............(ii)

combine the equations

2a + 5b = 40.50.........(i)

4a + b = 31.50..............(ii)

b = 31.50 - 4a

insert the value of b in equation(i)

2a + 5b = 40.50.........(i)

2a + 5(31.50 - 4a) = 40.50

2a + 157.5 - 20a = 40.50

-18a = 40.50 - 157.5

-18a = -117

divide both sides by -18

a = -117/-18

a = 6.5

insert the value of a in equation(ii)

4a + b = 31.50..............(ii)

4(6.5) + b = 31.50

26 + b = 31.50

b = 31.50 - 26

b = 5.5

Price of turkey sandwich = $6.5

price of ham sandwich = $5.5

practice counting in 2's , 5's and 10's, starting on 0. whats patterns do you notice ? can you write sentences to explain these
Mice21 [21]
When you multiply 5 by 1 you get 5. When you multiply 5 by 2 you get 10. If you keep doing this, you get a list of multiples of 5.

5
10
15
20
25
30
35
40
45
50

All of these numbers end in either 5 or 0. We can do the same with 2's and 10's.

2
4
6
8
10
12
14
16
18
20

For all 2's we can see that they are all even and end with an even number (0,2,4,6,8)

10
20
30
40
50
60
70
80
90
100

For 10's we can see that they all end in 0.

Solve the equation.
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

In this technique, if we have to factorise an expression like ax2+bx+c, we need to think of 2 numbers such that:

N1⋅N2=a⋅c=1⋅−12=−12

AND

N1+N2=b=−1

After trying out a few numbers we get N1=3 and N2=−4

3⋅−4=−12, and 3+(−4)=−1

x2−x−12=x2−4x+3x−12

x(x−4)+3(x−4)=0

(x+3)(x−4)=0

Now we equate the factors to zero.

x+3=0,x=−3

x−4=0,x=4
