Answer:
<em>$4.15</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of a cheeseburger be x
Let the cost of a soft pretzels be y
If Mr. Smith goes to the concession stand and buys 2 soft pretzels and 1 cheeseburger for $8.25, this is expressed as;
x + 2y = 8.25 .... 1
Also, if Mr. Martin goes to the same concession stand and buys 1 soft pretzel and 3 cheeseburgers for $13.50, this is expressed as;
3x + y = 13. 50..... 2
The required equations are:
x + 2y = 8.25
3x + y = 13. 50
Find x and y by solving simultaneously:
From 1: x + 2y = 8.25
x = 8.25 - 2y ..... 3
Substitute 3 into 2
3(8.25-2y)+y = 13.50
24.75 - 6y+y = 13.50
24.75 - 5y = 13.50
-5y = 14.50 - 24.75
-5 y = 10.25
y = -10.25/-5
y = 2.05
Since x = 8.25 - 2y
x = 8.25 - 2(2.05)
x = 8.25 - 4.1
x = 4.15
<em>Hence the cost of a cheesburger is $4.15</em>
Answer:
The population reaches 42,336 fish in 2258
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u><u>:</u>
<u>To Find:</u>
Time taken to reach 42,336 = ?
<u>Solution:</u>
According to the question x is the number of years after which the population .
Then
= 0
Solving using quadratic formula
x=261.337 x=−261.268
Neglecting the negative value we get
x = 261.337
x = 261 approx
261 years after 1997 = 2258
