Answer: 18 pies, 22 cakes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pies sold be represented by p.

Let the number of cakes be represented by c.

The information in the question can then be represented in an equation as:

p + c = 40 ........ i

10p + 8c = 356 ....... ii

Multiply equation i by 10

Multiply equation ii by 1

10p + 10c = 400 ....... iii

10p + 8c = 356 ....... iv

Subtract iv from iii

2c = 44

c = 44/2

c = 22

22 cakes were sold

Since 40 items were sold, the number of pies sold will be:

= 40 - 22

= 18 pies

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

38 total students

5 like neither one, so 38 - 5 = 33

22 plus 13 is 35, but only 33 students like one of them, so 35 - 33 = 2 extra votes, which means 2 like both.

Sam is observing the velocity of a car at different times. After three hours, the velocity of the car is 51 km/h. After five hou
bija089 [108]
It's not obvious here, but you're being asked to find a linear equation for the velocity of the car, given two points on the line that represents this velocity.

Find the slope of the line segment that connects the points (3 hr, 51 km/hr) and (5 hr, 59 km/hr).  Graph this line.  Where does this line intersect the y-axis?  Find the y-value; it's your "y-intercept," b.

Now write the equation:  velocity = (slope of line)*t + b

The units of measurement of "slope of line" must be "km per hour squared," and those of the "y-intercept" must be "km per hour."

Part B:  Start with the y-intercept (calculated above).  Plot it on the vertical axis of your graph.  Now label the horizontal axis in hours:  {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.  Draw a vertical line through t=6 hours.  It will intercept both the horiz. axis and the sloping line representing the velocity as a function of time.  Show only the part of the graph that extends from t=0 hours to t=6 hours.
