The cost of each pie is; $6

The cost of each cake is; $7.5

Let the cost of cake be C and let the cost of pie be P.

If you order 4 cakes and 3 pies for $46.50, then;

4C + 3P = 46.5 - - - (eq 1)

Your friend orders 3 cakes and 2 pies for $33. Thus;

3C + 2P = 33 - - - - (eq 2)

Multiply eq 2 by 3 and eq 1 by 2 to get;

8C + 6P = 93 - - -(eq 3)

9C + 6P = 99 - - - (eq 4)

Subtract eq 3 from eq 4 to get;

C = $6

Thus;

3(6) + 2P = 33

18 + 2P = 33

2P = 15

P = $7.5

A particular baseball player has a batting average (number of hits/number of times at bat) of 0.364. What is the probability tha

MAXImum [283]

The correct answer is option (c) P(not a hit) = 0.636

The batting average of the baseball player = $\frac{number of hits}{number of times at bat}$ = 0.364

Now, the probability of occurrence of any event is say, P, the probability of not occurrence of the event is given as = 1 - P

Therefore, the probability that he will not get a hit at his next at bat = 1- 0.364 = 0.636

Translate the sentence into an inequality. Eight times the sum of a number and 20 is greater than or equal to 25. Use the variab

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

8x + 20 ≥ 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Well 8 times the sum of a number "x" plus 20,

So we can write the following,

8x + 20

and that should be greater than or equal to 25

8x + 20 ≥ 25

Thus,

as an inequality it is 8x + 20 ≥ 25.

Hope this helps :)

Hello!

$\large\boxed{x^{2} + x - 3 + \frac{4}{2x+3}}$

**Process pictured below**

When dividing, find how many times the first time in the divisor (2x + 3) fits into the first time of the dividend (2x³ + 5x² - 3x - 5). In this step, it fits x² times.

Multiply x² by the terms in the divisor and subtract from the dividend. Bring down the next term in the dividend to continue the process.

Repeat this step until you reach the last number. In this case, there was a remainder of 4. In order to write the remainder, you must express it over the divisor which makes it 4 / 2x + 3.
