Answer:

Each hot dog = $3

Each french fry = $2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, lets define our variables:

x = Hotdog

y = fries

Next, you need to set up a cost equation for both Toby and Bernie:

8x + 5y = 34

2x + 6y = 18

Now, we need to isolate one of the variable:

2x + 6y = 18

2x = 18 - 6y

x = 9 - 3y

Next, we need to insert this equation back into the first equation (8x+5y = 34) to find the cost of y (fries):

8x +5y = 34

8 (9-3y) + 5y = 34

72 - 24y + 5y = 34

72 - 19y = 34

19y = 38

y or fries = $2

Finally, we need to find the cost of each hotdog by using the cost of fries ($2) in one of the formulas:

2x + 6y = 18

2x + 6(2) = 18

2x + 12 = 18

2x = 6

x or hotdog = $3

I hope this helps!

Answer:

28.26m^2 (aka. 28.26 meters squared)

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is A=pi*r^2 where r is the radius of the circle.

Since r=3, then A=pi*3^2=9pi=28.26

Therefore, the area of the merry-go-round is 28.26 square meters

If y varies inversely as x and y=23 when x=8 find y when x=4

valina [46]

<h2>INVERSE VARIATION</h2>

EQUATION: 

$y = \frac{k}{x}$

––––––––

First, find the constant of variation k using the formula k=xy.

$23 = \frac{k}{8}$

$k = (8)(23)$

$k = 184$

––––––––

Then, find y if x is equal to four using the formula y=184/x.

$y = \frac{184}{x}$

$y = \frac{184}{4}$

$y = 46$

Evaluate the expression. 5 x (-6 / -1 + -10)

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

-20

Step-by-step explanation:

$5 * (-6 / -1+ -10)$

According to PEMDAS, we need to do the math in the parentheses first.

$-6 / -1 + -10$

Applying PEMDAS to the inside of the parentheses, then we have to divide -6 by -1, where we would get 6.

$6 + -10$

Adding a negative is the same as subtracting, so adding negative 10 is the same as subtracting 10.

$6 - 10$

Subtracting, we get 6 - 10 = -4 and we're left with:

$5 * (-4)$

Multiplying, our final answer is -20.

Hope this helps!
