Answer:

2 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

let c represent cookies, m represent muffins. set up a system of equations:

2c+3m=16

m=2c

(the top equation shows that cookies are $2 each, and muffins are $3, and that the total cost is $16. the bottom equation shows that Lori bought twice as many muffins as cookies).

then solve the system of equations by substitution, substituting 2c for m in the top equation:

2c+3(2c)=16

2c+6c=16

8c=16

c=2

this means that lori bought 2 cookies.

Answer:

2 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

let c = no. of cookies

2c = no. of muffins

The cost for c cookies is 2c since each cookie was $2

and the cost of 2c muffins is 3(2c) = 6c since each muffing was $3

The total cost = 2c + 6c = 16

                                 8c  = 16

                                   c = 2

So, she bought 2 cookies and 4 muffins

lianna [129]

Answer with explanation:

In Δ ABC and ΔD BC

∠A=∠D-------Given

∠ABC=∠DCB-------Each being 90° given in the Diagram.

Side, BC is Common.

⇒⇒Δ ABC ≅ ΔD BC-------[AAS]

When two triangles are congruent , their areas are equal.

So, Area(ABC)=Area (DCB)

Option B :⇒ A AS

What is the factored form of x^2 - 4x - 5?
ser-zykov [4K]

we are given

x^2-4x-5

we can use formula

x^2-(a+b)x+ab=(x-a)(x-b)

so, we have

a+b=4

ab=-5

now, we can solve for a and b

and we get

a=5, b=-1

now, we can plug it in formula

x^2-4x-5=(x-5)(x+1) ............Answer

For the given polynomials find the sum of the squares of the roots. P(x)=x^3-x^2-18x+k
slega [8]

\text{Given that,}\\\\P(x) = x^3 -x^2 -18x+k\\\\\text{If the roots are}~ \alpha, ~ \beta,~\text{and}~ \gamma, ~ \text{then},\\\\\alpha +\beta+\gamma= -\dfrac{(-1)}1 = 1\\\\\alpha \beta +\beta \gamma + \gamma \alpha= -\dfrac{18}1 = -18\\ \\\text{Now, sum of the  squares of the roots,}\\\\\alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2 = ( \alpha + \beta + \gamma)^2 -2(\alpha \beta + \gamma \beta + \gamma \alpha)\\ \\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=1^2 - 2(-18)\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=1+36\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=37
