Answer:

86 milkshakes and 63 ice cream were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of milkshake sold be x

Let the amount of ice cream sold be y

If  she sold 149 milkshakes and ice cream cones then;

x+y = 149 ... 1

If the milkshakes sold for $4 and the ice cream cones for $3, with total amount #533 collected then;

4x + 3y = 533 ....2

Solve both equations simultaneously

x+y = 149 ... 1  * 4

4x + 3y = 533 ....2 * 1

________________________

4x+4y = 596

4x+3y = 533

Subtract

4y-3y = 596-533

y = 63

since x +y = 149

x+63 = 149

x = 149 - 63

x = 86

Hence 86 milkshakes and 63 ice cream were sold

A train averages a speed of 90 miles per hour across the plains and 37.5 miles per hour through the mountains. If a trip of 300
densk [106]
Let p and m represent the numbers of miles in the plains and mountains, respectively.
.. p + m = 300 . . . . . . . the whole trip was 300 miles

time = distance/speed, so the trip time can be written as
.. p/90 + m/37.5 = 3 48/60
.. 5p + 12m = 1710 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 450 to put in standard form

You can solve these two equations by any of several means. The variable p can be eliminated by subtracting 5 times the first from the second.
.. (5p +12m) -5(p +m) = 1710 -5*300
.. 7m = 210
.. m = 30

30 miles of the trip was through the mountains.

Line p passes through A(-2, -4) and has a slope of 1/2 What is the standard form of the equation for line p?
yarga [219]
Point slope form is y-(-4) = 1/2(x-(-2)

y+4 =1/2 (x+2)

now the standard form 2y+8=x+2
so -x+2y=-6 is the equation for line p in standard form
