Answer:

Brownies made the most money

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = cookies

b = brownies

We sold 51 items  so c+b = 51

Cookies are .75  and brownies are 1.25

.75c + 1.25 b = 53.25

We have 2 equations and 2 unknowns

c = 51-b

Substituting into the second equation

.75(51-b) + 1.25b = 53.25

Distribute

38.25-.75b +1.25b = 53.25

Combine like terms

38.25+.5b = 53.25

Subtract 38.25 from each side

38.25 +.5b -38.25 = 53.25 -38.25

.5b =15

Divide each side by .5

.5b/.5 = 15/.5

b = 30

Now find c

c =51-b

c = 51-30

c = 21

They sold 30 brownies and 21 cookies

30 brownies * 1.25 =37.50

21 cookies *.75 = 15.75

Brownies made the most money

1. An orange is peeled . 18 identical sectors are found . What angle do does each semicircular surface make with another in a wh
KatRina [158]

Answer:

<h3>#1</h3>

<u>Since the circle covers 360°, each sector will be:</u>

  • 360°/18 = 20°

The same angle will be made between two adjacent semicircles.

<h3>#2</h3>

The points have same latitude but different longitude.

35°W and 15° are at different sides from zero longitude.

<u>The difference is:</u>

  • 35° + 15° = 50°

A ladder that is 6 meters long leans
alexira [117]

Answer:

Height of building from base to ladder = 5.8 meter (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of ladder = 6 meters

Distance of ladder from base = 1.5 meters

Find:

Height of building from base to ladder

Computation:

Perpendicular = √Hypotenuse² - Base²

Height of building from base to ladder = √Length of ladder² - Distance of ladder from base²

Height of building from base to ladder = √6² - 1.5²

Height of building from base to ladder = √36 - 2.25

Height of building from base to ladder = √33.75

Height of building from base to ladder = 5.8 meter (Approx.)

The equation of a quadratic is =2^2+3−2and after you factorizing 2^2+3−2=0you got x = -2 and x = 1/2 and the curve crosses the y
Lelechka [254]

Given the next quadratic function:

y=2x^2+3x-2

to sketch its graph, first, we need to find its vertex. The x-coordinate of the vertex is found as follows:

x_V=\frac{-b}{2a}

where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the first two coefficients of the quadratic function. Substituting with a = 2 and b = 3, we get:

\begin{gathered} x_V=\frac{-3}{2\cdot2} \\ x_V=-\frac{3}{4}=-0.75 \end{gathered}

The y-coordinate of the vertex is found by substituting the x-coordinate in the quadratic function, as follows:

\begin{gathered} y_V=2x^2_V+3x_V-2 \\ y_V=2\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})^2+3\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})-2 \\ y_V=2\cdot\frac{9}{16}+3\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})-2 \\ y_V=\frac{9}{8}-\frac{9}{4}-2 \\ y_V=-\frac{25}{8}=-3.125 \end{gathered}

The factorization indicates that the curve crosses the x-axis at the points (-2, 0) and (1/2, 0). We also know that the curve crosses the y-axis at (0,-2). Connecting these points and the vertex (-0.75, -3.125) with a U-shaped curve, we get:
