Answer:

a) The equation (10s + 8w) represents the calories Bridget ate on Monday and the equation (20s + w) represents the calories she ate the next day.

b) The number of calories in each strawberry is 4 and the number of calories in each vanilla wafer cookie is 19. The solution is s= 4 and w = 19.

Step-by-step explanation:

For part A, Bridget ate 10 strawberries and 8 vanilla wafer cookies on Monday. Since the the number of calories in a strawberry is s and the number of calories in a vanilla wafer cookie is w , the number of calories Bridget ate on Monday is 10s + 8w. The next day, Bridget ate 20 strawberries and 1 vanilla wafer cookie. Hence, the number of calories Bridget ate on the next day is 20s + w.

For part B,

we will create two different simultaneous equations.

Equation 1: 10s + 8w = 192

Equation 2: 20s + w = 99

We need to find one of the terms first to solve the other term. For this case, I will solve for w first.

Multiply the first equation by 2.

Equation 3: 20s + 16w = 192*2 = 384.

Now, subtract equation 2 from this new equation.

Equation 4:

(20s + 16w) - (20s + w) = 384 - 99

20s + 16w - 20s - w = 285

15w = 285

This leaves only w left and we can solve w.

w = 285 / 15 = 19

Now, we can solve for s using equation 2.

20s + 19 = 99

20s = 99-19 = 80

Hence,

s = 80/20 = 4

Find the inverse of the function y = x2 – 12

vivado [14]

Answer: $y=\sqrt{x+12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope you mean y = x² - 12 and not y = 2x - 12.

You switch the y and x variables:

x = y² - 12

And solve for y:

x + 12 = y²

$y=\sqrt{x+12}$

Graph the line that goes through the point (-6,-2) with slope of 1

vekshin1

Answer:

<h2>Check out the image.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the equation of the straight line is y = mx + c; where m is the slope of the equation and c is the constant.

The line has the slope 1.

Hence, the equation becomes y = x + c.

Since, the line passes through (-6, -2), -2 = -6 + c or, c = 4.

Hence, the equation of the straight line becomes y = x + 4.

Putting x = 0, we get, y = 4.

The line passes through (0, 4).

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

For two rectangles to be similar, their sides have to be proportional (form equal ratios). The ratio of the two longer sides should equal the ratio of the two shorter sides.
