Anne, Barry, and Cathy enter a coffee shop. Anne orders two coffees, one juice, and two doughnuts and pays $7.50. Barry orders o

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Coffee = $2.00

Juice = $1.50

Doughnut = $1.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let:

$c = coffee\\ j= juice\\ d = doughnut$

So, we have:

Anna

$2c + j + 2d = 7.50$

Barry

$c + 3d = 5.00$

Cathy

$3c + j + 4d = 11.50$

Required

The price of each

We have:

$2c + j + 2d = 7.50$

$c + 3d = 5.00$

$3c + j + 4d = 11.50$

Make c the subject in: $c + 3d = 5.00$

$c = 5.00 - 3d$

Substitute $c = 5.00 - 3d$ in $2c + j + 2d = 7.50$ and $3c + j + 4d = 11.50$

$2c + j + 2d = 7.50$

$2[5.00 - 3d] + j + 2d = 7.50$

$10.00 - 6d+ j + 2d = 7.50$

Make j the subject

$j = 7.50 - 10.0 +6d - 2d$

$j = -2.50 +4d$

$3c + j + 4d = 11.50$

$3[5.00 - 3d] + j + 4d = 11.50$

$15.00 - 9d + j + 4d = 11.50$

Make j the subject

$j = 11.50 - 15.00 + 9d -4d$

$j = -3.50 + 5d$

So, we have:

$j = -3.50 + 5d$ and $j = -2.50 +4d$

Equate both values of j

$-3.50 + 5d = -2.50 + 4d$

Collect like terms

$5d - 4d = 3.50 -2.50$

$d = 1.00$

Substitute $d = 1.00$ in $j = -3.50 + 5d$

$j = -3.50 + 5d$

$j = -3.50 + 5 * 1.00$

$j = -3.50 + 5.00$

$j = 1.50$

To solve for c, we substitute $d = 1.00$ in $c + 3d = 5.00$

$c + 3 * 1.00 =5.00$

$c + 3.00 =5.00$

Solve for c

$c =- 3.00 +5.00$

$c =2.00$

Point A is located at negative 5 over 8 and point B is located at negative 2 over 8. What is the distance between points A and B

ki77a [65]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: A is the correct answer.

A. negative 5 over 8 minus negative 2 over 8 = negative 3 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 3 over 8 equals 3 over 8 units.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The location of Point A is : A(-5/8)

and Point B is located at : B(-2/8)

We know that when two points lie over a number line then the distance between the two points is the absolute difference between the two points.

If A is located at a.

and B is located at b.

Then the distance between A and B is given by:

|a-b|

Hence, here the distance between A and B is given by:

$|\dfrac{-5}{8}-(\dfrac{-2}{8})|=|\dfrac{-5}{8}+\dfrac{2}{8}|=|\dfrac{-3}{8}|=\dfrac{3}{8}\\\\i.e.\\\\\text{Distance between A and B is}=\dfrac{3}{8}\ \text{units}$

Find the slope and y intercept of the graph of the graph of each equation.

AleksandrR [38]

Solve each equation for y and then the slope is m and y-intercept is b as in:
$y = mx+b$

So, if you do that, you'll get (remember, this is <em>after</em> solving for y):
1. m = -6, b = -2
2. m = 5, b = -1
3. m = -5/3, b = 5
4. m = 0, b = -1/4
5. m = -1, b = -3
6. m = 3, b = -4
7. m = 1/2, b = -5/2
8. m = 7/2, b = 1

Hope this helps.

Question:

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

x=56 and the exterior angle is 116

Step-by-step explanation:

We will call the unknown angle in the triangle y. Angle y and the angle (2x +4) form a straight line so they make 180 degrees.

y + 2x+4 =180

Solve for y by subtracting 2x+4 from each side.

y + 2x+4 - (2x+4) =180 - (2x+4)

y = 180-2x-4

y = 176-2x

The three angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees

x+ y+ 60 = 180

x+ (176-2x)+60 = 180

Combine like terms

-x +236=180

Subtract 236 from each side

-x+236-236 = 180-236

-x = -56

Multiply each side by -1

-1*-x = -56*-1

x=56

The exterior angle is 2x+4. Substitute x=56 into the equation.

2(56)+4

112+4

116
