Answer:

8x + 10y = 123.40

5x + 9y = 97.20

40x + 50y = 617

-40x - 72y = -777.6

x = $6.30

y = $7.30

Step-by-step explanation:

we can write this system of equations:

8x + 10y = 123.40

5x + 9y = 97.20

using the 'elimination method', we can multiply the first equation by 5 and the second equation by -8 to get:

5(8x + 10y) = 123.4(5)

40x + 50y = 617

-8(5x + 9y) = 97.2(-8)

-40x - 72y = -777.6

now we can add the new equations and solve for 'y':

40x + 50y = 617

-40x - 72y = -777.6

-22y = -160.6

y = 7.30

now we can substitute 7.3 for 'y' so we can solve for 'x':

8x + 10(7.3) = 123.4

8x + 73 = 123.4

8x = 50.4

x = 6.30

Answer:

Equation 1: 8x + 10y = 123.4

Equation 2: 5x + 9y = 97.2

cost of a burrito = $7.30

cost of a sandwich = $6.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = cost of a sandwich

Let y = cost of a burrito

Equation 1: 8x + 10y = 123.4

Equation 2: 5x + 9y = 97.2

Rewrite equation 1 to make y the subject, then substitute into equation 2 and solve for x:

8x + 10y = 123.4

⇒ 10y = 123.4 - 8x

⇒ y = 12.34 - 0.8x

5x + 9(12.34 - 0.8x) = 97.2

⇒ 5x + 111.06 - 7.2x = 97.2

⇒ 13.86 = 2.2x

⇒ x = 6.3

So cost of a sandwich = $6.30

Substituting x = 6.3 into equation 2 and solving for y:

5(6.3) + 9y = 97.2

⇒ 31.5 + 9y = 97.2

⇒ 9y = 65.7

⇒ y = 7.3

So cost of a burrito = $7.30

Help!! Answer !!! about to run out of time in test!!

$\qquad \qquad\huge \underline{\boxed{\sf Answer}}$

Here's the solution ~

Let's find the measure of hypotenuse first, by using Pythagoras theorem ;

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: h {}^{2} = {8}^{2} + {6}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: h {}^{2} = {36}^{} + {64}^{}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: h {}^{2} = 100$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: h {}^{} = \sqrt{100}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: h {}^{} = {10}$

Now, let's find the asked values ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \sin(x) = \dfrac{opposite \: side}{hypotenuse}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \sin(x) = \dfrac{6}{10}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \sin(x) = \dfrac{3}{5} \: or \: 0.6 \: units$

For Cos y :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \cos(y) = \dfrac{adjcant \: side}{hypotenuse}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \cos(y) = \dfrac{6}{10}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \cos(y) = \dfrac{3}{5} \: or \: 0.6 \: units$

As we can see that both sin x and Cos y have equal values, therefore The required relationships is equality.

I.e Sin x = Cos y

Hope it helps ~

Describe how to transform the graph of f(x) = x² to obtain

lord [1]

Answer:

The functions given are:

f(x) = x²

g(x) = f(-4x-3) + 1

First, find f(-4x-3):

f(x) = x²

f(-4x-3) = (-4x-3)²

Find g(x):

g(x) = f(-4x-3) + 1

g(x) = (-4x-3)² + 1

g(x) = (-1)² (4x+3)² + 1

g(x) = (4x+3)² + 1

First take

y = (x)²

Compress the graph along x axis by multiplying x with 4

y = (4x)²

Shift the graph left by 0.75 units, by adding 3 to x term.

y = (4x+3)²

Shift the graph up by 1 unit by adding 1 to the total terms.

y = (4x+3)² +1
