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

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

the question is asking for the difference between the two values, therfore, you should subtract the smaller value from the larger value

while A is technically the same equation, when finding a value, you want all the constants to be on 1 side of the equation while the variable is on the other side

Here, as I can see, you are adding fractions, and making sure you have a common denominator. 

12) is correct
13) is correct

You got a common denominator, and added them up! Great job! <span />

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=3x-2 that passes trough the point (-9,5)
ElenaW [278]

\huge\boxed{y-5&=-\frac{1}{3}(x+9)}

First, we'll find the slope of the new line. The first line has a slope of 3. Take the negative reciprocal of this (Flip the numerator and denominator, then multiply by -1) to get -\frac{1}{3} for the new slope.

Then, we'll use the point-slope form to make the new equation, where m is the slope and (x_1,y_1) is a point on the line:

\begin{aligned}y-y_1&=m(x-x_1)\\y-5&=-\frac{1}{3}(x-(-9))\\y-5&=-\frac{1}{3}(x+9)\end{aligned}

Solve for the 3 sides
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

1. x = 2√3 or 3.46

2. y = 4√3 or 6.93

3. z = 4√6 or 9.80

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Determination of the value of x.

Angle (θ) = 60°

Opposite = 6

Adjacent = x

Tan θ = Opposite /Adjacent

Tan 60 = 6 / x

√3 = 6/x

Cross multiply

x√3 = 6

Divide both side by √3

x = 6 / √3

Rationalise

x = (6 / √3) × (√3/√3)

x = 6√3 / 3

x = 2√3 or 3.46

2. Determination of the value of y.

Angle (θ) = 60°

Opposite = 6

Hypothenus = y

Sine θ = Opposite /Hypothenus

Sine 60 = 6/y

√3/2 = 6/y

Cross multiply

y√3 = 2 × 6

y√3 = 12

Divide both side by √3

y = 12/√3

Rationalise

y = (12 / √3) × (√3/√3)

y = 12√3 / 3

y = 4√3 or 6.93

3. Determination of the value of z.

Angle (θ) = 45°

Opposite = y = 4√3

Hypothenus = z

Sine θ = Opposite /Hypothenus

Sine 45 = 4√3 / z

1/√2 = 4√3 / z

Cross multiply

z = √2 × 4√3

z = 4√6 or 9.80
