Let the cost of the soft drink = C then the price of the sandwich was 3.5 times as much = 3.5C
And
C + 3.5C = Total Cost
C + 3.5C = 9
4.5C = 9 divide both sides by 4.5
C = 9/4.5 = $2.00 for the soft drink
And 3.5C = 3.5(2.00) = $7.00 cost of the sandwich
Answer:
-15
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 4 = - 7
Carry over the - 4 and make x the subject.
x= - 7 + 4
x= - 3
Therefore x is - 3
Area=length*width
let the sides perpendicular to the river be x
then the side parallel to the river is 4,700-2x
A(x)=x(4700-2x)
A(x)=4700x-2x^2
This a quadratic function with a=-2 and b=4700
thus
Maximum area occurs where x=-b/2a=-4700(-2*2)=1,175 ft
length=4700-2(1175)=2,350 ft
