Answer:

1 taco is $4

Step-by-step explanation:

2t + 3d = 14              4t + 6d = 28

3t + 2d = 16              -9t -6d = -48

-5t = -20

t = 4

A tacos would cost $2.67.

  • Let the cost of tacos be T.
  • Let the cost of drinks be D.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;

2T \; + \; 3D = 14   ......equation 1

3T \; + \; 2D = 16   ......equation 2

To find how much a tacos cost, we would solve the above system of equations by using the substitution method.

From eqn 1, we would make D the subject of formula;

D = \frac {14 \; - 2T}{3}  .....equation 3

Substituting eqn 3 into eqn 2, we have;

3T \; + \; 2(\frac {14 \; - 2T}{3}) = 16\\\\3T \; + \; \frac {28 \; - 24}{3} = 16\\\\

Lowest common multiple (LCM) = 3

\frac {9T \; + \; 28 \;- \; 4}{3} = 16\\\\\\

Cross-multiplying, we have;

9T \; + \; 28 \;- \; 4 = 16 \; * \; 3\\\\9T \; + 24 = 48\\\\9T = 48 \; - 24\\\\9T = 24\\\\T = \frac{24}{9} \\

T = $2.67

How many solutions would there be for the following systems of equations <br>y=3x-5<br>6x-2y=10​
Ann [662]

Answer:

So the solution would be (1,-2). Remember you can always validate that the solution is correct by plugging it into both equations. But this is the same as the first equation, y=3x-5. Since they are the SAME line they will have infinite solutions.

We are given a sequence of five non-zero numbers, where the sum of each term and its neighboring terms is 15 or 25. Find the sum
PSYCHO15rus [73]

We have a sequence that meets the given criteria, and with that information, we want to get the sum of all the terms in the sequence.

We will see that the sum tends to infinity.

So we have 5 terms;

A, B, C, D, E.

We know that the sum of each term and its neighboring terms is 15 or 25.

then:

  • A + B + C = 15 or 25
  • B + C + D = 15 or 25
  • C + D + E = 15 or 25

Now, we want to find the sum of all the terms in the sequence (not only the 5 given).

Then let's assume we write the sum of infinite terms as:

a_1 + a_2 + a_3 + a_4 + a_5 + a_6 + ...

Now we group that sum in pairs of 3 consecutive terms, so we get:

(a_1 + a_2 + a_3) + (a_4 + a_5 + a_6) + ...

So we will have a sum of infinite of these, and each one of these is equal to 15 or 25 (both positive numbers). So when we sum that infinite times (even if we always have the smaller number, 15) the sum will tend to be infinite.

Then we have:

(a_1 + a_2 + a_3) + (a_4 + a_5 + a_6) +  ... \to \infty
