Answer:

3.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

3^2 = 9

and 4^2 = 16 so the square root is between 3 and 4.

Take a rectangle 3.4 by 3.6:

the area = 3.4 * 3.6 = 12.24 so an estimate of the square root could be 3.5.

3.5 * 3.5 = 12.25.

The Frosty Ice-Cream Shop sells sundaes for $2 and banana splits for $3. On a hot summer day, the shop sold 8 more sundaes than
svlad2 [7]

The shop sold 36 sundaes and 28 banana spilts

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "a" be the number of sundaes sold

Let "b" be the number of banana spilts sold

Cost of 1 sundaes = $ 2

Cost of 1 banana spilt = $ 3

<em><u>On a hot summer day, the shop sold 8 more sundaes than banana splits and made $156</u></em>

Therefore,

Number of sundaes sold = 8 + number of banana spilts sold

a = 8 + b ------- eqn 1

<em><u>Also, given that they made $ 156</u></em>

<em><u>Therefore, we frame a equation as</u></em>:

Number of sundaes sold x Cost of 1 sundaes + number of banana spilts sold x Cost of 1 banana spilt = 156

a \times 2+b \times 3 = 156

2a + 3b = 156 ---------- eqn 2

<em><u>Substitute eqn 1 into eqn 2</u></em>

2(8 + b) + 3b = 156

16 + 2b + 3b = 156

16 + 5b = 156

5b = 156 - 16

5b = 140

<h3>b = 28</h3>

<em><u>Substitute b = 28 in eqn 1</u></em>

a = 8 + 28

<h3>a = 36</h3>

Thus the shop sold 36 sundaes and 28 banana spilts

Please help me!!!<br>What is the value of n?<br>2n = 8 + 4n<br>A)-4<br>B) 4<br>C)-4/3<br>D)4/3
erica [24]
To get the value of n u have to set n by itself, first we have to set teh smallest n to teh other side this will give you 0=8+2n now subtract the 8 from both sides because it is positive and the only way to get rid of a positive is with a negative this will give you -8=2n, now to set n by itself divide by 2 in both sides because in order to get rid of a multiplication you have to divide, this will give you n=-4, so your answer will be letter A

Hope this helps
