Answer:

  a = $0.95

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of a sharpener is 'a', and the cost of a folder is $2.80 more, so is a+2.80. The total cost of 4 sharpeners and 7 folders is ...

  4a +7(a+2.80) = 30.05

  11a = 10.45 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 19.60

  a = 0.95 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 11

The cost of a sharpener is a = $0.95.

Total cost for cookie and lemonade is 1.80. If lemonade costs 1.00 more than the cookie, how much was the lemonade?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The lemonade costs 1.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the cost of a cookie.

y is the cost of a lemonade.

Total cost for cookie and lemonade is 1.80.

This means that x + y = 1.8.

As we want y, we have that x = 1.8 - y

Lemonade costs 1.00 more than the cookie?

This means that:

y = x + 1

So

y = 1.8 - y + 1

2y = 2.8

y = \frac{2.8}{2}

y = 1.4

The lemonade costs 1.4.

Match the x-coordinates with their corresponding pairs of y-coordinates on the unit circle.
Sergio [31]

In mathematics, a unit circle is a circle of unit radius—that is, a radius of 1. Frequently, especially in trigonometry, the unit circle is the circle of radius 1 centered at the origin (0, 0) in the Cartesian coordinate system in the Euclidean plane.

What are the exact solutions of x^2 = 5x + 2?
aleksandrvk [35]
Move everybody to one side
minus 5x+2 both sides
x^2-5x-2=0
use quadratic formula where
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}

1x^2-5x-2=0
a=1
b=-5
c=-2

x=\frac{-(-5)+/- \sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(1)(-2)} }{2(1)}
x=\frac{5+/- \sqrt{25+8} }{2}
x=\frac{5+/- \sqrt{33} }{2}

aprox
x=5.372281323 or -0.3722813233
