let's make p stand for popcorn and d for drinks. Using those variables, we can create our equations:
2p + 3d = 18.25
4p + 2d = 27.50
From this, we can use substitution or elimination to solve:
For substitution, in the second equations, we could factor out a 2, divide both sides by 2, and then move the left over 2p to the other side to isolate d to put into the first equation.
For elimination, we can multiply the first equation by -2 so that we can remove the 4p and focus on solving for d.
I'll be using elimination in this case:
-2(2p + 3d = 18.25) --> -4p - 6d = -36.50
-4p - 6d = -36.50
4p + 2d = 27.50
-4d = -9.00
d = 2.25
4p + 2 * 2.25 = 27.50
4p + 4.50 = 27.50
4p = 23.00
p = 5.75
Now let's check our answer:
2 * 5.75 + 3 * 2.25 = 18.25
11.50 + 6.75 = 18.25
18.25 = 18.25
So drinks cost $2.25 and popcorn $5.75
According to the definition, is a parabola is in the standard form of (x-h)^2<span>=4p(y-k), then the directrix is y=k-p. In this case, the parabola function is x^2=8y, so h=0, p=8/4=2, k=0. Plug the values of h, p, k, into y=k-p, the directrix is y=-2.</span>
Since f(-2) means that our x-value is -2, we can go to that position on the graph and slide up the y-axis to find the intersection this point has with the function graphed.
If I am correct the answer should be that the y value is 2!
Answer:
y=5
Step-by-step explanation:
80-10y= 10y+5-5y
80-5=20y-5y
75=15y
5=y
