A local high school held a two-day fundraiser selling lunches. The equations shown represent the amount of money the school coll

ected during the two days. {12x + 4y = 15232x + 12y = 420 In the equations, x represents the cost of a chicken lunch and y represents the cost of a vegetarian lunch. Which is the cost of the vegetarian lunch?

Answer:

  11

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equations appear to be ...

  • 12x +4y = 152
  • 32x +12y = 420

These can be solved for y using Cramer's rule:

  y = (152(32) -420(12))/(4(32) -12(12)) = -176/-16 = 11

The cost of the vegetarian lunch is 11.

_____

<em>Comment on Cramer's Rule</em>

For equations ...

  ax +by =c

  dx +ey = f

The solutions are ...

  x = (bf -ey)/(bd -ea)

  y = (cd -fa)/(bd -ea) . . . . note the denominators are the same expression

Once you memorize the pattern of products, this can be the simplest way to solve a pair of equations--especially if you only need one of the variable values.

Answer:

The answer is the mutations within the genetic code.

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural selection is one of the basic mechanisms of evolution by which species adapt to their environment in order to increase their chance of survival and reproduction. In natural selection, genotype variations that will increase the chance of survival and reproduction of some organism are preserved and will be inherited. But, the sources of this genotype variations are not changes in the environment, nor response to the stress, but the mutations in the genome of the organism. If a mutation is not lethal, it could remain in the population, increasing the variation is some traits.

Consider the rectangular prism below.
Radda [10]

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for the surface area of rectangular prism = 2(lb + bh + hl)

Here, l = Length of the prism

b = Width  

h = Height

If l = 25 cm, b = 12 cm and h = 20 cm

Surface area of the rectangular prism = 2(25×12 + 12×20 + 20×25) cm²

Therefore, Option D will be the correct option.
