Answer:

$2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "b" be the price of 1 brownie and "c" the price of 1 cookie.

At a bake sale, a student spent $11.00 buying 3 brownies and 5 cookies. Symbolicaly,

3 b + 5 c = 11.00   [1]

His friend spent $3.95 buying 1 brownie and 2 cookies. Symbolicaly,

1 b + 2 c = 3.95

b = 3.95 - 2c   [2]

If we replace [2] in [1], we get

3 (3.95 - 2c) + 5 c = 11.00

11.85 - 6c + 5c = 11.00

c = 0.85

If we replace c = 0.85 in [2], we get

b = 3.95 - 2 (0.85) = 2.25

Function C gives the cost, in dollars, of buying n apples. What does this equation represent in this situation?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The cost of 5 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

Typically the equation would be written as C(n) = 4.50

Since 5 is where 'n' should be, then that means the number of apples in the equation is five.

C(5) = 4.50

Means, that 5 apples cost $4.50

<span>The line of symmetry of the triangle bisects the right angle and the diagonal of the square.
The line is 1/2 the length of the square's diagonal :

(1/2)(10√2) = 5√2. 

</span>Let CG be a distance x from the vertex of the right angle in the triangle.
Remaining distance = 5√2 - x. 
<span>
(1)(x) = (2)(5√2 - x)</span>
x = 10√2 - 2x
<span>3x = 10√2 </span>
<span>x = (10/3)√2. 
</span>
Using Pythagorean theorem,
x^2 + y^2 = c^2
 
<span>c = (10/3)√2,
and x = y,
so 2x^2 = 200/9
x = √(100/9) = 10/3 = y. 
</span>
<span>x = y = 3.333</span>
