Answer:

the prices were $0.05 and $1.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' and 'b' represent the costs of the two sodas. The given relations are ...

a + b = 1.10 . . . . the total cost of the sodas was $1.10

a - b = 1.00 . . . . one soda costs $1.00 more than the other one

Adding these two equations, we get ...

2a = 2.10

a = 1.05 . . . . . divide by 2

1.05 -b = 1.00 . . . . . substitute for a in the second equation

1.05 -1.00 = b = 0.05 . . . add b-1 to both sides

The prices of the two sodas were $0.05 and $1.05.

Additional comment

This is a "sum and difference" problem, in which you are given the sum and the difference of two values. As we have seen here, the larger value is half the sum of the sum and difference: a = (1+1.10)/2 = 1.05. If we were to subtract one equation from the other, we would find the smaller value is half the difference of the sum and difference: b = (1.05 -1.00)/2 = 0.05.

This result is the general solution to sum and difference problems.

4(2x + 3) ÷ 5y

ololo11 [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

We do the brackets first, following BODMAS rules

so, 4× 5x ÷ 5y = 1xy.

= 4 × 1xy

= 4xy.

I guess that's the answer.

Example Of:-

Sum:

2x + 7y

term: 

5x + 7 = 5x and 7 are terms.

product:

2a × 3b

factor: 

always remember, a number is a factor of itself.

5x + 7y

factors = 5 + x + 5x + 7 + y + 7y.

Quotient: 

10d ÷ 5j = 2dj

coefficient: 

In the number 3x, 3 is the coefficient of x.

but, in the number x (raise to) 2, the coefficient is 1.

Solve for the value of X in 9^x+4(3^x+1)+27=0

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

No solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

$9^x + 4(3^x + 1) + 27 = 0\\3^{2x} + 4 \cdot 3^x + 31 = 0$

Substitute 3^x with t and we get.

$t^2 + 4t + 31 = 0\\\triangle = 16 - 4 \cdot 31 = -108 < 0 => t_{12} \notin R => x \notin R$

Explanation:

A. True. All triangles have 3 straight sides and 3 angles.

B. False. All triangles are polygons. A polygon is just a collection of line segments glued together to form a closed shape.

C. True. A plane figure is a flat shape.

D. True. See choice A.

How do I solve this?

ladessa [460]

It would be
y=(-16*-1)
which would then be
y=16
so the answer would be
(-16,16)
you replace the x in the equation with the x you are given

Find the missing length

natka813 [3]

Answer:

x = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides of similar triangles will be in same ratio.

$\dfrac{x}{x+18}=\dfrac{20}{28}$

Cross multiply

x*28 = 20*(x+18) {Use distributive method}

28x = 20x + 360

28x - 20x = 360

8x = 360

x = 360/8

x = 45
