Create and solve a system of equations for the following scenario: Luke and Leia are selling hot dogs and hamburgers at a minor

league baseball game. At the end of the day they determine they have sold a total of 45 items and earned $195. If hot dogs cost $4 and hamburgers cost $5, how many did they sell of each?

So x + y = 45, and 4x + 5y = 195. Get y by itself. Subtract x from both sides in the first equation to get y = 45 -x, and subtract 4x from the second equation to get 5y = 195 - 4x. Divide by 5 to both sides to get y = 39 - 4/5x. 39 - 4/5x = 45 - x. Add x to both sides to get 39 - 1/5x = 45. Subtract 39 from both sides to get -1/5x = 6. Divide by -1/5 to get x = -30, or 30. In the first equation, do 30 + y = 45. Subtract 30 from both sides to get y = 15. Check. 4(30) + 15(5) = 195, or 120 + 75 = 195.

How many ways can you select and arrange 5 books on a shelf out 13 books?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

There are 154,440 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word arrange means that the order in which the books are placed is important, which means that the permutations formula is used to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}

In this question:

5 books from a set of 13. So

P_{(13,5)} = \frac{13!}{(13-5)!} = 154440

There are 154,440 ways.

Which statement describes the solution to the system of equations?
Murrr4er [49]
It has exactly one solution.
If you graph both of these equations on desmos, you will see that they only cross once. Therefore you only have one solution

The product of a number and three is four less than 60. Find the number.
pantera1 [17]

hii!

n(n-4) = 60

n^2 - 4n - 60 = 0

( n   -  10  )(n   +     6  ) = 0

n-10 = 0 ---> n = 10 ---> 10*(10-4) = 10*6  = 60

n+6 = 0 --> n = -6 ---> -6 * (-6-4) = -6 * -10 = 60
