0.19 for one cookie and 0.59 for one doughnut

x for how much one cookie costs and y for how much one doughnut costs
6x+4y=3.5
12x+5y=5.23

solve by substitution: (elimination would work too)
4y=3.5-6x
y=0.875-1.5x
12x+5(0.875-1.5x)=5.23
12x+4.375x-7.5x=5.23
4.5x=0.855
x=0.19
now use x to solve for y:
6(0.19)+4y=3.5
1.14+4y=3.5
2.36=4y
y=0.59

Check the work: 6(0.19)+4(0.59)=3.5

Why would "-7" in the expression (x^2+3)-(x-7) become positive?
ryzh [129]
You would use the distributive property with the negative. So the second x becomes negative, but since the 7 is already negative it becomes positive. Think of it as if you put the two dashes together you can make a plus sign.

Given the equation square root of quantity 2x plus 8 end quantity equals 6, solve for x and identify if it is an extraneous solu
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Solution: x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is:

\sqrt{2x+8}=6

In order to solve the equation both sides will be squared

(\sqrt{2x+8})^{2} = (6)^2 \\2x+8 = 36\\2x = 36-8\\2x = 28\\x = 14

Verifying the solution

\sqrt{2(14)+8} = 6\\ \sqrt{28+8} = 6\\\sqrt{36} = 6\\6 = 6

How and what is the answer
lana [24]
C ) 131 is the answer

in the upside-vertex (not inverted) triangle, angle to your left hand side would be equal to x (as interior alternate angles) = 68

and the angle to the right would be 180-y= 180-117 = 163 (as linear angles)

so the angle at the vertex = 180 - (68 + 163) =49  (as angles in a triangle sum upto 180)

so the angle mz = 180 - 49 = 131 degrees (as linear pair of angles or angle in a straight line)
