Hello!
Let's use 'x' to represent the cost of the burger, and 'y' to represent the cost of the hotdog.
2x + y = 482
× + 2y = 370
2x + 47 = 740
-3y = -258
y = 86 cents
2x + 86 = 482
2x = 396
x = 198
A burger costs $1.98 and a hot dog costs $.86
I hope this didn't confuse you, I'm not very good at explaining!
Solve the first for y
y=13x-90 and the second is y=x^2-x-42
When there is/are solutions y=y so we can say:
x^2-x-42=13x-90 subtract 13x from both sides
x^2-14x-42=-90 add 90 to both sides
x^2-14x+48=0 expand so that it is easy to factor...
x^2-6x-8x+48=0 now factor 1st and 2nd pair of terms
x(x-6)-8(x-6)=0
(x-8)(x-6)=0
So there are two solutions, when x=6 and 8.
Using either original equation we can find the corresponding values for y. I'll use y=13x-90 because it is easier...
y(6)=-12, y(8)=14 so the two solutions are the points:
(6,-12) and (8,14)
Answer:
0.4 is 40 percent of something because 100 percent is 1 x something. On the other hand, 0.12 is 12 percent of something because 0.12 x something will get you 12 percent of the value. Therefore, 0.4 is 40 percent of a thing while 0.12 is 12 percent of a thing and 0.4 is bigger than 0.12
Answer:
-131
Step-by-step explanation:
(0 − 3) − 8(12 + 4) =
= -3 - 8(16)
= -3 - 128
= -131
Torch+ battery= 2.50
Torch=battery+1.50
So,
battery+1.50+battery=2.50 therefore,
2 battery = 2.50-1.50;
battery = 1/2=0.50
Since the total price is 2.50 and the battery costs 0.50 then the torch must cost 2.
2/2.50 = 1/1.25 is the fraction the torch costs out of the total costs.
