Answer:

McDonald’s Quarter Pounders = 67 mg of cholesterol

Burger King Whoppers = 87 of cholesterol

Step-by-step explanation:

McDonald’s Quarter Pounders = m

Burger King Whoppers = b

2m + 3b = 395

3m + 1b = 288

3m + b = 288

b = -3m + 288

2m + 3b = 395

2m + 3(-3m + 288) = 395

2m - 9m + 864 = 395

- 7m + 864 = 395

- 7m/7 = -469/7

-m = -67

-m/-1 = -67/-1

m = 67

2m + 3b = 395

2(67) + 3b = 395

134 + 3b = 395

3b = 395 - 134

3b = 261

3b/3 = 261/3

b = 87

Check: m = 67; b = 87

2m + 3b = 395

3m + 1b = 288

2m + 3b = 395

2(67) + 3(87) = 395

134 + 261 = 395

395 = 395

3m + 1b = 288

3(67) + 1(87) = 288

201 + 87 = 288

288 = 288

Svetach [21]
Area of a rectangle: 2(L+W)
length: 4+W

Area: 2(4+W) + 2W = 96
8+2W+2W = 96
8+4W = 96
4W = 88
W= 22cm

Calculate for length: 2L + 2(22) = 96
2L + 44 = 96
2L = 52
L = 26cm

• The length is 26cm and width is 22 cm.

Confused someone help
jekas [21]

Answer:

y = -5x - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question,

equation of a parallel line

y = -5x + 6

point through which it passes

(-4,-1)

Step1

Find the gradient of the equation given, as it is parallel so it will have same gradient

equation of straight line

y = mx + c

where m is gradient

            c is y intercept

y = -5x + 6

m =-5

Step2

Find y-intercept

-1 = -5(-4) + c

-1 = 20 + c

c = -20 - 1

c = -21

Step3

form the equation

y = -5x - 21

grigory [225]

Answer:

7.0%

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the value of the percentage increase

mathematically, we have the formula for this as follows ;

(new value - old value/old value * 100%

from the question, old value is 8,300 ft and the new value is 8,881 ft

So we have the percentage increase as follows;

(8,881 - 8,300)/8,300 * 100%

= 7.0%
