Write an equation system based on the problem
For an instance, e stands for the price of a carton of eggs, and b stands for the price of a loaf of bread
"Kate bought 3 cartons of eggs and 5 loaves of bread for $30.07" could be written as 3e + 5b = 30.07 (first equation)
"Melissa bought 2 cartons of eggs and 2 loaves of bread for $14.74" could be written as 2e + 2b = 14.74 (second equation)
Solve the equation system using elimination method
Eliminate b to find e. To eliminate b, we should equalize the coefficient of b.
3e + 5b = 30.07 (multiplied by 2)
2e + 2b = 14.74 (multiplied by 5)
-------------------------------------------
6e + 10b = 60.14
10e + 10b = 73.70
------------------------- - (substract)
-4e = -13.56
e = -13.56/-4
e = 3.39
The price for a carton of eggs is $3.39
Check the pictures below.
if we knew the roots/solutions of the equation, we can set h(s) = 0 and solve for "s" to find out how many seconds is it when the height is 0.
if you notice in the first picture, when f(x) = 0, is when the parabola hits a root/solution or the ground, for David he'll be hitting the water surface, and the equation that has both of those roots/solutions conspicuous is
h(s) = -4.9(s - 2)(s + 1).
B is the answer because you have to math it
<span>regular pentagon sum of interior = (5 - 2) x 180 = 3 x 180 = 540
so
x = 540 / 5 = 108
180 - 108 = 72
y = 72/2 = 36
z = 180 - 90 - 36
z = 54
answer
x = 108, y = 36 and z = 54</span>
There are an infinite number of them.
-- Think of any number.
-- Multiply 4 by your number. Write it on top.
-- Multiply 5 by your number. Write it on the bottom.
-- You have a new fraction that's equivalent to 4/5 .
How many different numbers can you think of ?
That's how many new fractions you can create
that are ALL equivalent to 4/5 .
