Use subtraction to find the lengths of segments WX and XY.
Point W is on (9,3), point X is on (5,3) and point Y is on (5,9), if I'm reading this correctly.
Point W and point X match with their y-values, so we ignore them. Subtract the x-values, 9 and 5, to get the length. In this case, the length is 4 units.
Point X and point Y match with their x-values, so we ignore them. Subtract the y-values, 3 and 9, to get 6.
Since the problem is asking for length, you always subtract the smaller number from the larger one, as you can't have a negative distance or length.
You get the answer wrong. E.g. 23.4 + 22.3 = 45.7 BUT if you line it up incorrectly 2.34 + 223. = 225.34
Answer:
- drinks: $0.55
- pizza slices: $0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent the cost of a drink, and p represent the cost of a pizza slice. Then the two purchases can be represented by ...
- 4d +6p = 6.70
- 3d +4p = 4.65
To solve these equations by elimination, choose a variable to eliminate and look at the coefficients of that in the two equations. If we choose to eliminate p, we see the coefficients of p are 6 and 4. The least common multiple of these numbers is 12. We can multiply the first equation by -2 and the second equation by +3 and the resulting coefficients of p will be -12 and +12. Adding the results of these multiplications will make the p terms add to zero.
-2(4d +6p) +3(3d +4p) = -2(6.70) +3(4.65)
-8d -12p +9d +12p = -13.40 +13.95 . . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
d = 0.55 . . . . . . . . . collect terms
Now, we can substitute this value into either equation to find the value of p. Using the first equation, we get ...
4(0.55) +6p = 6.70
6p = 4.50 . . . . . . . . . subtract 2.20
p = 0.75 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
The cost of a drink is $0.55; the cost of a slice of pizza is $0.75.
