Answer:

The price of a sandwich is £2.5 and the price of a croissant is £2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s be the number of sandwiches and c be the number of croissants

Then according to given statements the equations will be:

$2s+3c = 11\ \ \ \ \ \ \ Eqn\ 1\\3s+6c =19.50\ \ \ Eqn\ 2$

Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and subtracting equation 2 from the new equation

$2(2s+3c) = 11*2\\4s+6c = 22$

Now

$4s+6c-(3s+6c) = 22-19.50\\4s+6c-3s-6c = 2.5\\s = 2.5$

Putting s=2.5 in equation 1

$2(2.5)+3c = 11\\5+3c = 11\\3c = 11-5\\3c = 6\\\frac{3c}{3} = \frac{6}{3}\\c = 2$

Hence,

The price of a sandwich is £2.5 and the price of a croissant is £2

Move triangle ABC so it lies on top of triangle DEF, triangle GHI, and triangle JKL. How many units do you have to move triangle

dusya [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, as the diagram of coordinates of the three triangles are not given.

A general explanation is as follows:

First, record the coordinates of the corresponding points of the three triangles.

For instance; In triangles ABC, DEF and GHI; A, D and G are corresponding points.

Now, assume the coordinates are:

$A = (1,1)$

$D = (1,5)$

$G= (-2,1)$

Point D is 4 points to the right of A;

i.e.

$D =(1,1+4) = (1,5)$

Hence, ABC will be moved 4 units right to lie on DEF

Similarly, point G is 3 units down of A

i.e.

$G =(1-3,1) = (-2,1)$

Hence, ABC will be moved 3 units down to lie on GHI.

What is the length of the missing side of the right triangle?

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

You use the pythagorean theorem to find the missing side of a right triangle.

side^2 + side^2 = hypotenuse ^2

6^2 + 8^2 = X^2

36 + 64 = 100

square root of 100 = 10

Which two values of x are the roots of the polynomial below? <br> x^2+5x+11

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

x = -5/2 + i√19 and x = -5/2 - i√19

Step-by-step explanation:

Next time, please share the possible answer choices.

Here we can actually find the roots, using the quadratic formula or some other approach.

a = 1, b = 5 and c = 11. Then the discriminant is b^2-4ac, or 5^2-4(1)(11). Since the discriminant is negative, the roots are complex. The discriminant value is 25-44, or -19.

Thus, the roots of the given poly are:

-5 plus or minus i√19

x = -----------------------------------

2(1)

or x = -5/2 + i√19 and x = -5/2 - i√19
