Drinks, x, and popcorn, y.
38.75 = 5x+2y
37.25 = 3x + 4y
Let's solve this using the elimination method
subtract the 2nd row from the first
7x=40.25
divide both sides by 7 to isolate x
x=5.75

Substitute x into an equation
10(5.75)+4y=77.5
multiply
57.5+4y=77.5
subtract 57.5 from both sides
4y=77.5−57.5
Simplify
4y=20
divide both sides by 4 to isolate y
y = 5

To check you would plug x and y into the equations and see if it equals properly...

The price of drinks is $5.75, the price of popcorn is $5.

Hope this helps

Answer:

A, C, D, E

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the rational root theorem, any rational roots will be of the form ...

±(divisor of the constant)/(divisor of the leading coefficient)

The constant is 8, and its divisors are 1, 2, 4, 8.

The leading coefficient is 6, and its divisors are 1, 2, 3, 6.

So, no rational root will have 3 in the numerator, eliminating choices B and F. The remaining choices are possible rational roots:

A, 2/3
C, -8
D, 4
E, -1/6

Answer:

In a nutshell, $g(x) = x+2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A composition is operation between function that consist in replacing the independent variable of the first function, $f(x)$ in this case, for $g(x)$ . Common notations for composition between functions are $f(g(x))$ and $f\circ g (x)$ . If we know that $h(x) = f\circ g (x) = (x+2)^{2}$ and $f(x) = x^{2}$ , then $g(x) = x+2$ .
