Complete Question
Max buys six donuts and a 300ml carton of juice for $3.50,susie buys four donuts and two 300ml carton of juice for $3.00,ben buys eight donuts and five 300ml carton of juice for $6.50 How much is one donut? How much is one carton of drink
Answer:
The cost of
1 donut = x = $0.50
300ml carton of juice = y = $0.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of
1 donut = x
300ml carton of juice = y
Max buys six donuts and a 300ml carton of juice for $3.50
6x + y = 3.50.....Equation 1
y = 3.50 - 6x
Susie buys four donuts and two 300ml carton of juice for $3.00
4x + 2y = 3...... Equation 2
Ben buys eight donuts and one 300ml carton of juice for $6.50
8x + 5y = 6.50......Equation 3
We substitute 3.50 - 6x for y in Equation 2
4x + 2y = 3...... Equation 2
4x + 2(3.50 - 6x) = 3
4x + 7 - 12x = 3
Collect like terms
4x - 12x = 3 - 7
-8x = -4
x = -4/-8
x = $0.50
Solving for y
y = 3.50 - 6x
y = 3.50 - 6(0.50)
y = 3.50 - 3.00
y = $0.50
Therefore:
The cost of
1 donut = x = $0.50
300ml carton of juice = y = $0.50
Answer:
The angle measures are 53.5° and 36.5°.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can create a systems of equations, assuming x and y are the angle measures.
Since the two angles are complementary, their angle measures will add up to 90.
x + y = 90
x - y = 17
We can now use the process of elimination, and end up with:
2x = 107
Dividing both sides by two gets us
x = 53.5
Substituting this value into an equation will get us y
53.5 + y = 90
y = 36.5
Hope this helped!
Hi there....
-6m - 8 = 24
-6m = 24 + 8
-6m = 32
m = 32/-6
m = -16/3
or if they ask you for decimal, it will be m= -5.33
The answer to this question is 4
x
