Answer:
Number of dogs = 6
Number of burgers = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of dogs = x
Number of burgers = 2x - 1
Cost of a dog = $ 1.50
Cost of 'x' dogs = 1.5x
Cost of a burger = $ 2
Cost of (2x - 1) burger = (2x -1) * 2 = 2x *2 - 1*2
= 4x - 2
Total amount collected = $ 31
1.5x + 4x - 2 = 31 {add 2 to both sides}
1.5x + 4x = 31 + 2
1.5x+ 4x = 33
5.5x = 33
x = 33/5.5
x = 6
Number of dogs = 6
Number of burgers = 2*6 - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11
The first one is -4 and the second one is 6.
We are asked in the problem to determine the value of x in the equation <span>4x² + 2x = 7 using completing the square method. in this case,
</span><span>4x² + 2x = 7
x2 + 0.5 = 1.75
(x + 0.25)^2 - 0.0625 = 1.75
</span>(x + 0.25)^2 = 1.8125
<span>x+0.25=1.3462
</span>x1 =1.0963
x2 =-1.5962
<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>
