Ashley and Gabby bought lunch from the food trucks on Sugar Day. Ashley bought 3 tacos and a drink for $7. Gabby bought 2 drinks
and 2 tacos for $8. How much does 1 taco cost? A taco costs__
1 answer:
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

3/5, so 3.5 of the students chosen at random used a calculator for computation.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
X^2 + 6X + 8 =3
TRANSPOSE 3 TO LEFT
X^2 + 6X + 8 - 3 = 0
CALCULATE
X^2 + 6 X + 5 = 0
Y^2-9^2
(y-9)(y+9)
To see if its right:
y*y+y*9-9*y-9*9
y^2+9y-9y-81
y^2-9^2
If the solution of x is 3, then the solution of 6x would be 18, because 3*6=18. :)
