Answer:

a) 3 b) 5 c) 7 d) 9

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, you want to replace x in the equation y=x+5 with each of the values listed.

For the first one, -2, the equation becomes y=-2+5, which is solved to y=3.

For the second one, 0, the equation becomes y=0+5, which is solved to y=5.

For the third one, 2, the equation becomes y=2+5, which is solved to y=7.

For the last one, 4, the equation becomes y=4+5, which is solved to y=9.

Ten bagels and four muffins cost $13. Five bagels and eight muffins cost $14. How much does a bagel cost? How much does a muffin

morpeh [17]

We are going to define two equations where b means bagels and m will be muffins, First equation: 10*b + 4*m = 13 Second equation: 5*b + 8*m = 14 From the second equation, we can isolate b: b = (14 - 8*m)/5 In the second equation 10*(14 - 8*m)/5 + 4*m = 13 2*(14 - 8*m) + 4*m = 13 28 - 16*m + 4*m = 13 28 -13 = 16*m - 4*m 15 = 12*m m = 15/12 = 1.25 Then b = (14 - 8*m)/5 = (14 - 8*1.25)/5 = 4/5 = 0.8 So one bagel costs $0.8 and one muffin $1.25

a businesswoman sells a bag for $52.32, thereby making a profit of 9% on the cost of her. calculate the selling price the busine

Veronika [31]

Answer: $57.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A businesswoman sells a bag for $52.32.

Let cuurent selling price : SP = $52.32

As they are making 9% profit now.

That means SP= Cp +0.09 CP , where Cp is the cost price of bag.

i..e $52.32=Cp(1+0.09) \ \text{[Substituted value of SP in LHS and taking Cp common outside in RHS]}$
