X= cost per pizza
y= cost per soda


1ST VISIT TO RESTAURANT
x + 2y= $15.95

2ND VISIT TO RESTAURANT
3x + 5y= $45.90


STEP 1
multiply equation from 1st visit by -3. Will be able to solve by elimination method in step 2.

-3(x + 2y)= -3(15.95)
multiply -3 by each term

(-3 * x) + (-3 * 2y)= (-3 * 15.95)

-3x - 6y= -47.85


STEP 2
add 2nd visit equation to new 1st
visit equation in step 1.

3x + 5y= 45.90
-3x - 6y= -47.85
x term will cancel out; solve for y

-y= -1.95
divide both sides by -1

y= $1.95 per soda


STEP 3
substitute y value in either original equation to solve for x

x + 2y= $15.95

x + (2 * 1.95)= 15.95
multiple in parentheses

x + 3.90= 15.95
subtract 3.90 from both sides

x= $12.05 per pizza


CHECK
3x + 5y= $45.90
3(12.05) + 5(1.95)= 45.90
36.15 + 9.75= 45.90
45.90= 45.90


ANSWER: Each pizza costs $12.05 and each soda costs $1.95.

Hope this helps! :)

(ED. 21) Analytic Geometry Unit Test..... #3 Which point is a solution of x2 + y2 > 49 and y ≤ –x2 – 4?
sdas [7]

Answer:

We want to find a solution of the system:

x^2 + y^2 > 49

y ≤ –x^2 – 4

Here we do not have any options, so let's try to find a general solution.

First, we can remember that the equation of a circle centered in the point (a, b) and of radius R is:

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = R^2

If we look at our first inequality, we can write it as:

x^2 + y^2 > 7^2

So the solutions of the first inequality are all the points that are outside (because the symbol used is >) of the circle of radius R = 7 centered in the origin.

From the other equation, we would get:

y ≤ –x^2 – 4

This is parabola, anything that is in the graph of the parabola or below will be a solution for this inequality.

Then the solutions of the system, are the ones that are in the region of solutions for both inequalities.

You can see the graph below, where both regions are graphed. The intersection of these regions is the region of the solutions for the system of inequalities:

by looking at the graph, we can see a lot of points that are solutions, like:

(0, -10)

(0, -15)

(2, -10)

etc.
