Answer:

The cost of one taco is $0.87 and the cost of one enchilada is $1.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of tacos be X

and cost of enchiladas be y

So, by using given data, we have following equations

3X + 2Y = 4.93             (1)

2X + 4Y = 6.38             (2)

So, first multiply 1st equation by 2 and 2nd equation by 3, then subtracting 1st equation by 2nd.

= 2 × ( 3X + 2Y = 4.93)       (1)

= 3 × (2X + 4Y = 6.38)        (2)

= - (6X + 4Y = 9.86)              (1)

= 6X + 12y = 19.14            (2)

= 8Y = 9.28

Y = 9.28 ÷ 8 = 1.16

By putting the value of Y in equation 1, we get

3X + 2(1.16) = 4.93

3X + 2.32 = 4.93

X = 2.61 ÷ 3 = 0.87

Hence, the cost of one taco is $0.87 and the cost of one enchilada is $1.16.

if the eggs in a basket are removed 2 at a time, 1 egg will remain. if the eggs are removed 3 at a time, 2 eggs will remain. if
Yanka [14]

The least number of eggs that could be in the basket is 119.

Multiple of the number:

The multiple is the numbers you get when you multiply a certain number by an integer.

Given,

If the eggs in a basket are removed 2 at a time, 1 egg will remain.

If the eggs are removed 3 at a time, 2 eggs will remain.

If the eggs are removed 4, 5, or 6 at a time, then 3, 4, and 5 eggs will remain, respectfully.

But if they are taken out 7 at a time, no eggs will be left over.

Here we need to find the least number of eggs in the basket.

Let the number of eggs in the basket be N.

We know that,

if the eggs in a basket are removed 2 at a time, one eggs will remain.

So N is 1 less than a multiple of 2, so

=> N=2A-1

If they are removed 3 at a time, 2 eggs remain.

So N is 2 more, and therefore 1 less than, a multiple of 3, so

=> N=3B-1

If the eggs are removed 4...at a time, then 3...eggs remain,

So N is 3 more, and therefore 1 less than, a multiple of 4, so

=> N=4C-1

Similarly,

For 5,

=> N = 5D - 1

For 6,

=> N = 6E - 1

So,  if they are taken out 7 at a time, no eggs will be left over.

So,

N => 7F

Where A,B,C,D,E, and F are any positive integer.

Therefore,

N = 2A-1 = 3B-1 = 4C-1 = 5D-1 = 6E-1 = 7F

Add 1 to all those:

N+1 = 2A = 3B = 4C = 5D = 6E = 7F+1

Through this,

N + 1 = 7F + 1

has to be a common multiple of 2,3,4,5,6.

So, the LCM of 2,3,4,5,6 is 60.

So N+1 is a multiple of 60 which means N is 1 less than a multiple of 60.

So we find the least multiple of 60 that is 1 more than a multiple

of 60.

The multiples are, 60, 59, ....but 59 is not a multiple of 7.

The next multiple of 60 is 120.  

1 less than 120 is 119, and sure enough, 119 is a multiple of 7.

So,

=> 119 = 17*7.

Therefore, the least number of eggs that could be in the basket is 119.

Use technology to find the line of best fit for the following data.
likoan [24]

Given:

The data points are:

(1, 0), (2, 3), (3,1), (4,4), (5,5)

To find:

The equation of best fit line in the form of y=mx+b and then find the value of b.

Solution:

The general form of best fit line is:

y=mx+b              ...(i)

Where, m is the slope of best fit line and b is the y-intercept of the line.

Using the graphing calculator, we get the equation for the best fit line and the equation is

y=1.1x-0.7          ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

b=-0.7

Therefore, the value of b is equal to -0.7.
