Jace and his children went into a bakery and he bought $9 worth of cookies and brownies. Each cookie costs $0.75 and each browni

e costs $3. He bought twice as many cookies as brownies. Graphically solve a system of equations in order to determine the number of cookies, x,x, and the number of brownies, y,y, that Jace bought.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\underline{\text{Variable Definitions:}}

Variable Definitions:

​  

 

x=

x=

\,\,\text{the number of cookies}

the number of cookies

y=

y=

\,\,\text{the number of brownies}

the number of brownies

One cookie costs $0.75, so xx cookies cost 0.75x.0.75x. One brownie costs $3, so yy brownies cost 3y.3y. The total 0.75x+3y0.75x+3y equals \$9:$9:

0.75x+3y=9

0.75x+3y=9

Since Jace bought twice as many cookies as brownies, there are more cookies, so if we multiply 2 by the number of brownies, we will get the number of cookies, meaning xx equals 2y.2y.

x=2y

x=2y

\underline{\text{Write System of Equations:}}

\underline{\text{Solve for }y\text{ in each equation:}}

Solve for y in each equation:

​  

 

\begin{aligned}\color{indianred}{0.75x}+3y = 9\hspace{10px} & \hspace{10px}x=2y \\[10px] 3y = \color{indianred}{-0.75x}+9\hspace{10px} & \hspace{10px}2y=x \\[10px] \frac{3y}{3} = \frac{-0.75x+9}{3}\hspace{10px} & \hspace{10px}\color{green}{y}\color{green}{=}\color{green}{\frac{1}{2}x} \\[10px] \color{blue}{y} \color{blue}{= -\frac{1}{4}x+3}\hspace{10px}\hspace{10px} & \hspace{10px} & \end{aligned}

0.75x+3y=9

3y=−0.75x+9

the number of cookies

the number of brownies

The xx variable represents the number of cookies and the yy variable represents the number of brownies. Since the lines intersect at the point \left(4, 2\right)(4,2) we can say:

Jace bought 4 cookies and 2 brownies.

Please help I'm a little confused!
zaharov [31]

I will have "x" represent the unknown number, or you could use a "?", doesn't matter.

8\leq \frac{x}{-4}     [8 is less than or equal to (≤) the quotient (÷) of a number and -4, so the number is being divided by -4]

If you need to solve this, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the inequality:

8\leq \frac{x}{-4}   Multiply -4 on both sides to get rid of the fraction and get "x" by itself

(-4)8\geq \frac{x}{-4} (-4)    When you multiply/divide by a negative number, you flip the sign (< >)

-32 ≥ x          [-32 is greater than or equal to x, or x is less than or equal to -32]

Plot the foci of the hyperbola represented by the equation x^2/625 − y^2/3600 =1 100pts
Pavel [41]

The attached image represents the foci of the hyperbola

<h3>How to determine the foci?</h3>

The equation of the hyperbola is given as:

\frac{x^2}{625} - \frac{y^2}{3600} = 1

Rewrite as:

\frac{x^2}{25^2} - \frac{y^2}{60^2} = 1

A hyperbola is represented as:

\frac{(x - h)^2}{b^2} - \frac{(y - k)^2}{a^2} = 1

This means that:

h = 0

k = 0

b = 25

a = 60

Next, calculate c the distance from the center to the focus using:

c = \sqrt{a^2 -b^2}

This gives

c = \sqrt{60^2 -25^2}

Evaluate

c = \pm \sqrt{2975}

This means that:

Foci = (0, -√2975) and (0, √2975)

See attachment for the hyperbola and the foci
