Answer:

cost of one cupcake = $2.75

cost of one brownie = $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = number of cupcakes

Let b = number of brownies

Equation 1:  5c + 2b = 16.25

Equation 2:  7c + 6b = 26.75

Multiply equation 1 by 3:

⇒ 15c + 6b = 48.75

Now subtract equation 2 from this equation to eliminate 6b:

⇒ 8c = 22

Divide both sides by 8:

⇒ c = 2.75

Substitute c = 2.75 into one of the original equations and solve for b:

⇒ 5(2.75) + 2b = 16.25

⇒ 13.75 + 2b = 16.25

⇒ 2b = 2.5

⇒ b = 1.25

Therefore, cost of one cupcake = $2.75 and cost of one brownie = $1.25

Can someone help me with #s 16 18 19 20 I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Masteriza [31]

Answers & Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>PEMDAS (Parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction)</h2>

Now let's solve your problems!

<h2>___________________________________________________</h2><h2>16.</h2>

First, we see if there are any parentheses. Since there are no parentheses, we will evaluate the exponent 3² first.

After this, our problem now looks like this:

<h2>\frac{41 - 9}{6 * 3 -26}</h2>

Next, since multiplication (not subtraction) is next on the list, we will evaluate 6 × 3, which equals 18.

After that, we will subtract:

41 - 9 = 32

18 - 26 = -8

We now have 32/-8 or 4/-1 or simply -4.

<h2>The answer is: -4</h2><h2>___________________________________________________</h2><h2>17.</h2>

With this, one, note the parentheses. This means that we will do these operations first.

(21 - 4²) = 5

(3 + 1) = 4

The problem now looks like this:

\frac{5 * 4}{8^{2}-44}

Next, we do the exponents:

8² = 64

After that, we do the multiplication of 5 x 4, which equals 20.

We now have 20/64 - 44, which simplifies to 20/20 or 1/1 or 1.

<h2>The answer is: 1</h2><h2>___________________________________________________</h2><h2>18.</h2>

Again, we see parentheses, so that means we need to do these operations first.

(6² - 20) = 16

We now have:

48 ÷ 16 + 5

48/16 = 3 and 3 + 5 = 8

<h2>The answer is: 8</h2><h2>___________________________________________________</h2><h2>19.</h2>

Here, we see an exponent 3³, so we'll need to evaluate this first.

3³ = 27

We now have:

4 × 27 ÷ 18 + 14

4 × 27 = 108

108/18 = 6

And finally:

6 + 14 = 20

<h2>The answer is: 20</h2><h2>___________________________________________________</h2><h2>20.</h2>

Here we again see the parentheses, which means we need to evaluate the subtraction first.

3 - 8 = -5

We now have:

11 + 2 (-5)

2 × -5 = -10

11 + -10 (same as 11 - 10) = 1

<h2>The answer is: 1</h2><h2>___________________________________________________</h2><h2><em>I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO HELP :)</em></h2>

Claim: The measures of \angle B and \angle B' are equal

Answer: True

Explanation: Dilations preserve the shape of an image, so this means the angles are kept the same whether you shrink or enlarge the preimage.

====================================================

Claim: The coordinates of A and A' are the same

Answer: True

Explanation: The phrasing "dilating about point A" means that point A is the center of the universe, so to speak, in terms of this dilation operation. Point A is the fixed point that does not move while every other point does move. Because the scale factor is 2/3, which is less than 1, this means every other point comes closer to point A. So something like segment AB will get shorter.
