Answer:
A salad costs $2.50
A sandwich costs $4.50
A drink costs $1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the salad, y represent the sandwich, and z represent the drink.
Since three salads, two sandwiches, and one drink cost $17.75:
3x + 2y + z = 17.75 (1)
Since one salad, one sandwich, and three drinks cost $10.75:
x + y + 3z = 10.75 (2)
Since a salad costs twice as much as a drink:
x = 2z (3)
Multiply the equation 2 by -2 then, sum the equation 1 and equation 2:
-2x - 2y - 6z = -21.50
3x + 2y + z = 17.75
→ x - 5z = -3.75
Replace the x with 2z using equation 3:
2z - 5z = -3.75
-3z = -3.75
z = 1.25
x = 2z → x = 2.50
x + y + 3z = 10.75 → 2.50 + y + 3.75 = 10.75 → y + 6.25 = 10.75 → y = 4.50
Answer:
7-5x
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the amount of fabric for one side of the purse you will find the area of the trapezoidal space that is created. The latch is on the top, so the 2 in is not necessary information.
A = 1/2 h(b1 + b2)
1/2 x 13 x (10 + 16)
A = 169 square inches of fabric will be needed.
