Answer:

Each friend ate 4 tacos.

Step-by-step explanation:

"4 of his friends ate s tacos" is unclear. I assume it should be

"4 of his friends ate s tacos each."

total tacos = 2 + 4s = 18

4s = 16

s = 4

His four friends ate a total of 16 tacos, each friend eating 4 tacos.

Ricky's reason, i.e., that 6s = 18, is incorrect.

6s = 4s+2s, where 4s is what his friends ate in total.

That implies that Ricky ate 2s tacos, instead of 2 tacos. If 2s = 2 then s = 1, but then 6s ≠ 18.

A circle has the equation x^2+y^2+x-6y+9=0. Find the center and any x or y intercepts.

Softa [21]

We know:x^2+y^2+x−6y+9=0So, we complete the square as such:x^2+y^2+x−6y+9=x^2+x+y^2−6y+9=(x+1/2)^2+(y−3)^2=(1/2)^2=1/4

Molly runs each morning once around a circular path in her neighborhood. if the diameter of the path is 1.4 miles, how far does

Lemur [1.5K]

To work out the distance of the path, you need to find out the circumference.
Formula for circumference = pi multiplied by the diameter

So you simply do:
pi multiplied by 1.4 miles

And you should get:
4.39822971503... miles

Simply round the result to an appropriate value (e.g. 3 decimal places).

Answer: 4.398 miles (to 3dp)

1. There are 78 sophomores at a school. Each is required to take at least one year of either chemistry or physics, but they may

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

We are given that there are a total of 78 students. If we set the following variables:

$\begin{gathered} C=\text{students only in chemestry} \\ P=\text{students only in physics} \\ PC=\text{students in physics and chemistry} \end{gathered}$

Then, the sum of all of these must be 78, that is:
