Answer:

Hotdog: $3.00

Hamburger: $4.00

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first time that Bob buys food, we can make an equation to find how much a single hotdog and a single hamburger costs, where:

x = cost of a hotdog

y = cost of a hamburger

He bought 2 hotdogs and 1 hamburger for $10, so the equation for his first time buying food is:

2x + y = 10

For the second time buying food, he bought 1 hotdog and 3 hamburgers for $15, so his equation would be:

x + 3y = 15

To find the value for x and y we need to solve this system of equations using the two equations we just came up with. We can do this multiple ways, but I'll be demonstrating the substitution method.

Using the second equation, we can solve for x by simply subtracting 3y from both sides:

x = 15 - 3y

We can then insert this value of x into the first equation so that way we are only dealing with one variable to solve - y:

2(15-3y) + y = 10

Distribute out the 2 into the paratheses, combine like terms, and then solve for y:

30 - 6y + y = 10

30 - 5y = 10

-5y = -20

y = 4

This means the cost for one hamburger is $4. But we still need to find the price of one hotdog, so we can insert this value of y into the equation we came up with earlier for x, and then solve for x:

x = 15 - 3y

x = 15 - 3(4)

x = 15 - 12

x = 3

So the price of one hotdog is $3 and the price of one hamburger is $4. Hope this helps.

I know the answer is no solution but I don't know how to get it☹️ plz help!
Crank
When a linear equation is in the form y = mx + c, the c, or constant, is the intercept on the y axis, meaning it crosses the y axis at (0, 1).

The gradient (1/3 in this case) is how much the y increments (or decrements) per increase of 1 of the value of x.

This would mean that there would be one point at (0, 1), and another at (3, 2). Draw a line from these two points and beyond, and that is the graph sketched.

Steven wrote this equation. 4×18=418 Explain the error in Steven's reasoning. Find the correct product. Enter your explanation a
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Given:

Steven wrote this equation:

4\times 18=418

To find:

The error in Steven's reasoning and then find the correct product.

Solution:

We have,

4\times 18=418

This statement is incorrect because we cannot write product directly as Steven wrote.

We need to multiply the place values of each digit of first number with the place values of second number and then we need to add the resulted values.

4\times 18=4\times (10+8)

4\times 18=4\times 10+4\times 8

4\times 18=40+32

4\times 18=72

Therefore, the correct product is 72.
