8 0

Answer:

$1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

This would be solved using a simultaneous equation

let tacos = t

drink = d

3t + d = 7 -- eqn 1

2t + 2d = 8 -- eqn 2

Multiply equation 1 by 2 to derive equation 3

6t + 2d = 14 eqn 3

Substract equation 2 from equation 3

6t + 2d = 14 -- eqn 3

         -

2t + 2d = 8 -- eqn 2

= 4t = 6

solve for t

6/4 = 1.5

= $1.5

A walking path across a park is represented by the equation y = -4x+10. A
ad-work [718]

first invert fraction of the slope from 4/1 to 1/4 and switch sign. then figure out the y-intercept

the algebraic approach would work like this:

-4x + 10 = 1/4x + b

plug in what you got, here: the intersection information

-4*(4) + 10 = 1/4*(4) + b

-16 + 10 = 1 + b

-6 = 1 + b

-7 = b

Solve x2 - 8x - 9 = 0. Rewrite the equation so that it is of the form x2 + bx = c.
barxatty [35]

Answer:

x=9,-1  and x^2+(-8)x=9

Explanation:

we have been given with the quadratic equation x^2-8x-9

we compare the given quadratic equation with general quadratic equation

general quadratic is ax^2+bx+c=0

from given quadratic equation a=1,b= -8,c= -9

substituting these values in the formula for discriminant D=b^{2}-4ac

D=(-8)^2-4(1)(-9)=100

Now, to find the value of x

Formula is x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}

Now, substituting the values we will get

x=\frac{-(-8)\pm\sqrt{100}} {2}= \frac{8\pm10}{2}=9,-1

And rewritting the given equation by  shifting 9 to right hand side of the given equation and taking minus inside the bracket so as to convert it in the form of

x^2+bx=c
