Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 985

2.95x + 9.95y = 7343.75

-2.95x - 2.95y = -2905.75

7y = 4438

y= 634 steak sandwiches

x + 634 = 985

x = 351 hot dogs

Answer:

634 steak sandwiches

Step-by-step explanation:

h = hot dogs

s = steak sandwiches

First, lets make 2 equations.

2.95h + 9.95s = 7343.75

h + s = 985

We can make the second equation h = 985 - s

Now substitute h into the first equation.

2.95(985 - s) + 9.95s = 7343.75

Distribute the 2.95

2905.75 - 2.95s + 9.95s = 7343.75

Simplify s

2905.75 + 7s = 7343.75

Subtract 2905.75 from both sides

7s = 4438

s = 634

If h = 985 - s and s = 634 we can find h by subtracting 634 from 985

985 - 634 = 351

Now to check:

351 times 2.95 = 1035.45

634 times 9.95 = 6308.3

6308.3 + 1035.45 = 7343.75 so that means our answer is correct.

Hope this helps!!

What is the y-intercept, axis of symmetry and vertex of the following function.
Pepsi [2]

Complete the square:

F(x) = -3x² - 6x - 5

F(x) = -3 (x² + 2x) - 5

F(x) = -3 (x² + 2x + 1 - 1) - 5

F(x) = -3 ((x + 1)² - 1) - 5

F(x) = -3 (x + 1)² + 3 - 5

F(x) = -3 (x + 1)² - 2

The y-intercept has x-coordinate equal to 0, so it corresponds to the value of F(0) :

F(0) = -3 (0 + 1)² - 2 = -3 - 2 = -5

The axis of symmetry is the vertical line running through the vertex of this parabola, so we'll come back to this.

The vertex of the parabola is (-1, -2). This represents the maximum value of F(x), which follows from

(x + 1)² ≥ 0   ⇒   -3 (x + 1)² ≤ 0   ⇒   -3 (x + 1)² - 2 ≤ -2

This is to say, every point on the parabola has a y-coordinate no greater than -2.

As mentioned earlier, the axis of symmetry is the vertical line through the vertex, and its equation is determined by the x-coordinate of the vertex. Hence the AoS is the line x = -1.
