Answer:
C = 6 + 2.5g
Step-by-step explanation:
A local lawn service charges $6.00 per cut plus $2.50 per gallon of gas used.
If in a cut g gallons of gas is used then, the cost for gas used will be $2.5g and there is a fixed charge of $6.00 per cut.
Therefore, in total the cost per cut becomes 6 + 2.5g and if we represent the total cost as C, then we can write
C = 6 + 2.5g. (Answer)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's write a system of equations. I'm going to call them w, x, y, and z.
w = 4x (because m∠1 is 4 times m∠2)
w + x = 90 (bc ∠1 and ∠2 are complementary, meaning they add up to 90)
w = y (bc ∠1 and ∠3 are vertical angles, meaning they are equal)
y + z = 180 (bc ∠3 and ∠4 are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180)
When we substitute w=4x into the second equation, we get 5x=90 → m∠2 = 18°. Since w=4x, m∠1 = 18*4 = 72°. Since w=y, m∠3 = 18°. Finally, because y+z=180, m∠4 = 180-18 = 162°. Hope this helps!
Multiply both sides of the second equation by 100 to get rid of the decimals:
0.05<em>n</em> + 0.10<em>d</em> = 1.50
==> 5<em>n</em> + 10<em>d</em> = 150
Multiply both sides of the first equation by -5:
<em>n</em> + <em>d</em> = 21
==> -5<em>n</em> - 5<em>d</em> = -105
Add the two equations together:
(5<em>n</em> + 10<em>d</em>) + (-5<em>n</em> - 5<em>d</em>) = 150 + (-105)
Notice that the terms containing <em>n</em> get eliminated and we can solve for <em>d</em> :
(5<em>n</em> - 5<em>n</em>) + (10<em>d</em> - 5<em>d</em>) = 150 - 105
5<em>d</em> = 45
<em>d</em> = 45/5 = 9
Plug this into either original equation to solve for <em>n</em>. Doing this with the first equation is easiest:
<em>n</em> + 9 = 21
<em>n</em> = 21 - 9 = 12
So Donna used 12 nickels and 9 dimes.
Answer:
-3.3...
Step-by-step explanation:
3.2p-2.5+2.1p=5p-7/2
3.2p+2.1p-5p=-7/2+2.5
5.3p-5p=-7/2+2.5
0.3p=-1
p=-1/0.3
p=-3.3
