7.5 + 6.8x = x + 89.6

...subtract x

7.5 + 5.8x = 89.6

...subtract 7.5

5.8x = 82.1

...divide by 5.8

x = 14.16

the number is 14.16

answer (in words)

FALSE. the coordinate pair (5, 2) is not a solution to the equation $2x+3y=10$ . in order to figure out whether or not the statement is true or false, plug the $x$ and $y$ values from the coordinate pair (5, 2) into the given equation, $2x+3y=10$ . if both sides of the equation end up equal, the coordinate pair is a solution to the equation. if not, the coordinate pair is not a solution to that equation.

(i hope i explained that well enough, i'm better at explaining it algebraically as opposed to putting it into words lol)

answer (algebraic/steps for solving)

first, plug in 5 for $x$ in the equation $2x+3y=10$ .

$2x+3y=10$ ⇒ $2(5)+3y=10$

then plug in 2 for $y$ .

$2(5)+3y=10$ ⇒ $2(5)+3(2)=10$

now your equation is $2(5)+3(2)=10$ . all that's left to do is to simplify. you can do this in whatever order you'd like, but i'll start with multiplying 2 · 5.

$2(5)+3(2)=10$ ⇒ $10 + 3(2) = 10$

multiply 3 · 2.

$10 + 3(2) = 10$ ⇒ $10 + 6 = 10$

add 10 + 6.

$10 + 6 = 10$ ⇒ $16=10$

16 and 10 are not equal, therefore (5, 2) is not a solution to the equation $2x+3y=10$ . in order for a coordinate pair to be the solution to an equation, both sides of the equation need to end up equal after solving and simplifying.

i hope this helps! have a great rest of your day <3

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Michael bought 18 tacos and 9 burritos.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since at a particular fast food restaurant, tacos cost $ 1.29 and burritos cost $ 2.19, and Michael spent a total of $ 42.93 at the restaurant to buy food for a party, if he purchased half as many burritos as tacos, to determine how many tacos did he buy, the following calculation must be performed:

1.29 x 20 + 2.19 x 10 = 47.7

1.29 x 16 + 2.19 x 8 = 38.16

1.29 x 18 + 2.19 x 9 = 42.93

So Michael bought 18 tacos and 9 burritos.

20 POINTS!!!!! (Voting Brainiest) Four Short Math Problems!!

ankoles [38]

1. To find the degree of the polynomial find the variable with the highest exponent, in this case is y^4 which means the degree of the exponent is 4.
2. 1, 2 and 3 are polynomials because there are more than one terms in the expression.
3. It would be a quadratic trinomial.
4. It would be a cubic binomial.
