Answer:

B) She is incorrect because when substituting 2 for m the result was a false statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve it for ourselves and see if Mia is correct:

7.8+2(0.75m+0.4)=-6.4m+4(0.5m-0.8)

7.8+1.5m+0.8=-6.4m+2m-3.2

1.5m+8.6=-4.4m-3.2

8.6=-5.9m-3.2

11.8=-5.9m

-2=m

m=-2

Since the answer is actually m=-2, Mia's guess is incorrect because plugging in m=2 does not make both sides equal. Therefore B is the correct option.

Your beginning balance on your lunch account is $42. You buy lunch for $1.80 every day and sometimes buy a snack for $0.85. Afte
tangare [24]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: I bought 7 snacks

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

beginning balance = $42 = b

lunch = $1.80  = l

snack = $ 0.85  = s

final balance = $0.05 = f

                        f = b - 1.8l - 0.05s

                     0.05 = 42 - 1.8l - 0.85s

After 20 days I spent = 1.8(20) in lunches = $36

                    0.05 = 42 - 36 - 0.85s

                   0.05 = 6 - 0.85s

                  0.05 - 6 = -0.85s

                  -5.95 = -0.85s

                  s = -5.95/-0.85

                  s = 7
