Answer:

  • Iced tea is $4.50 per gallon
  • Lemonade is $4.75 per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Price</u>:

  • Iced tea = x, lemonade = y

<u>Equations</u>:

  • 2x + 3y = 23.25
  • 5x + 4y = 41.50

<u>Multiply the first equation by 5 and the second equation by 2 and subtract to eliminate x:</u>

  • 5(2x + 3y) - 2(5x + 4y) = 5(23.25) - 2(41.50)
  • 10x + 15y - 10x - 8y = 33.25
  • 7y = 33.25
  • y = 33.25/7
  • y = 4.75

<u>Use the first equation to find x:</u>

  • 2x + 3(4.75) = 23.25
  • 2x = 23.25 - 14.25
  • 2x = 9
  • x = 9/2
  • x = 4.50

Iced tea costs $4.50 per gallon

Lemonade costs $4.75 per gallon

After every drop,the ball bounces to half it's previous height. With that understood.

1st drop -The ball drops 10m

1st bounce - 5m up
2nd drop - 5m down

2nd bounce - 2.5m up
3rd drop - 2.5m down

3rd bounce - 1.25m up
4th drop - 1.25m down

4th bounce - 0.625m up
5th/last drop - 0.625m down

To find the total vertical distance, you add them all.

10+5+5+2.5+2.5+1.25+1.25+0.625+0.625
=29.25m travelled in all.

Solve the following question
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

they are 16 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can call the numbers x and y and we can write:

x - y = 12

x + y = 20

Adding these equations gives us 2x = 32 which means x = 16 and substituting this value into the first equation gives us y = 4.
