Answer:$2

Step-by-step explanation:Express as two equations . Lex x Be chocolate and y be cookies.

3x+2y=22

2x+3y= 18

Common factor of 6 so times first ran by 2, second ran by 3 . Eliminate.

Answer:

$2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a chocolate and a cookie be $x and $y respectively.

Using the given information, form 2 equations and label them.

3x +2y= 22 -----(1)

2x +3y= 18 -----(2)

Now let's try to multiply both equations by a certain integer, such that the coefficient of x in both equations are the same. This allows us to eliminate the x term through subtraction.

(1) ×2:

6x +4y= 44 -----(3)

(2) ×3:

6x +9y= 54 -----(4)

(4) -(3):

6x +9y -(6x +4y)= 54 -44

Expand, simplify:

6x +9y -6x -4y= 10

5y= 10

Dividing both sides by 5:

y= 10 ÷5

y= 2

Thus, a cookie costs $2.

Note:

• Since we are only trying to find the value of y (cost of cookie), it is faster to eliminate the x term.

• If the signs of the coefficient of the term is opposite (e.g. -6 and 6), we can eliminate the term through addition.

Example:

-6x +4y= 44 -----(1)

6x +9y= 54 -----(2)

(1) +(2):

-6x +4y +6x +9y= 44 +54

13y= 98

y= 98 ÷13

y= 7.54 (3 s.f.)

Which function is f(x) equal to f^-1(x)?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

c. f(x) x+1/x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we need to check each answer one by one until we find the right one.  

y = (x+6)/(x-6)  

switch x and y  

x = (y+6)/(y-6)  

solve for y  

x(y-6) = y+6  

xy - 6x = y+6  

y(x-1) = 6x+6  

y = (6x+6) /(x-1) = 6(x+1)/(x-1)  

f^-1(x) = 6(x+1)/(x-1)  

y = (x+2)/(x-2)  

switch x and y  

x = (y+2)/(y-2)  

solve for y  

x(y-2) = y+2  

xy -2x = y+2  

y(x-1) = 2x+2  

y = (2x+2)/(x-1)  

f^-1(x) = 2(x+1)/(x-1)  

y = (x+1)/(x-1) ------ correct one  

switch x and y  

x = (y+1)/(y-1)  

solve for y  

x(y-1) = y+1  

xy - x = y+1  

y(x-1) = x+1  

y = (x+1)/(x-1)  

f^-1(x) = (x+1)/(x-1)  

f(x) = f^-1(x)

Please Help! Nathan receives a coupon in the mail for $10 off of a purchase of $100 or more. If he buys 3 pairs of board shorts
Trava [24]

Answer:   104.77 $ without coupon

                  94.77 $ with coupon


Step-by-step explanation:

25.99 Times 3 = 77.97 $

5.65 times 2 =  11.3 $

77.97+11.3=89.27 $

89.27 + 15.50 = 104.77 $

104.77 - 10 dollars of coupon = 94.77 $

Find the angle measure indicated. Assume that lines which appear to betangent are tangent.114?
joja [24]

EXPLANATION

Applying the Angles in Circles Theorem we can assevere that the measure of the unknown angles is given by the difference between 360 (By the Sum of Interior Angles of a Quadrilateral Theorem) and the angle 114 with both right angles.

? = 360 -114 - 90 - 90

? = 66 degrees

The answer is 66 degrees
