Given:

Two small pizzas, a liter of soda, and a salad costs $14.

One small pizza, a liter of soda, and three salads costs $15.

Three small pizzas, a liter of soda, and two salads costs $22.

To find:

The cost of each item.

Solution:

Let x be the cost of a small pizza.

y be the cost of a liter of soda

z be the cost of a salad.

According to the question, two small pizzas, a liter of soda, and a salad costs $14.

2x+y+z=14           ...(i)

One small pizza, a liter of soda, and three salads costs $15.

x+y+3z=15         ...(ii)

Three small pizzas, a liter of soda, and two salads costs $22.

3x+y+2z=22      ...(iii)

From (i), we get

z=14-2x-y        ...(iv)

Putting z=14-2x-y in (ii), we get

x+y+3(14-2x-y)=15

x+y+42-6x-3y=15

-5x-2y=15-42

-(5x+2y)=-27

5x+2y=27            ...(v)

Putting z=14-2x-y in (iii), we get

3x+y+2(14-2x-y)=22

3x+y+28-4x-2y=22

-x-y=22-28

-(x+y)=-6

x+y=6

Multiply both sides by 2.

2x+2y=12    ..(vi)

Subtracting (vi) from (v), we get

5x+2y-2x-2y=27-12

3x=15

x=5

Putting x=5 in (vi), we get

2(5)+2y=12

10+2y=12

2y=12-10

2y=2

y=1

Putting x=5 and y=1 in (iv), we get

z=14-2(5)-(1)

z=14-10-1

z=3

So, x=5,y=1,z=3.

Therefore, the cost of a pizza is $5, cost of a liter of soda is $1 and cost of salad is $3.

X/3-4=-7<br><br> please help me solve
Vanyuwa [196]
In order to solve this we need to get x by itself on one side.

We need o start by adding across the 4 so that we get:

x/3 = -7 + 4 = -3

We then need to multiply both sides by 3 to get a singular x:

x = -3 * 3 = -9

Xin leans a 26-foot ladder against a wall so that it forms an angle of 78^{\circ} ∘ with the ground. What’s the horizontal dista
defon

The ladder and the wall it leans on are illustrations of right triangle

The horizontal distance from the base of the ladder is 5.41 feet

<h3>How to determine the horizontal distance?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Length (L) = 26 feet

Angle of elevation (θ) = 78 degrees

The horizontal distance (D) is calculated using the following cosine ratio

cos(θ) = D/L

Substitute known values

cos(78) = D/26

Make D the subject

D = 26 * cos(78)

Multiply

D = 5.41

Hence, the horizontal distance from the base of the ladder is 5.41 feet

Sherry has a package in the shape of a rectangular prism. What is the volume, in cubic inches (in.), of the rectangular prism? (
Rudiy27

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete as the dimension of the prism is not given. However, the following steps can serve as a guide for you.

The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated as thus:

Volume = Length * Width * Height

So, Take for instance

Length = 2\ in

Width = 3\ in

Height = 4\ in

The Volume would be:

Volume = 2\ in * 3\ in * 4\ in

Volume = 24\ in^3
