Well first, 32 x 18 = 576
Second 18 divided by 2 = 9
Third 9 x 60 = 540
Fourth 540 + 576 = 1116
Fifth Cost of adult meal 18
Sixth Cost of Student meal 9

Answer:

  $18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of an adult meal (the value we want to know). The cost of a student meal is half that, or x/2. The total cost of all the meals is ...

  60(x/2) +32x = 1116

  62x = 1116 . . . . . collect terms

  x = 1116/62 = 18 . . . . divide by 62

The cost of an adult meal is $18.

<em>Additional comment</em>

You can instead use a variable for the cost of a student meal, or you can use variables for both:

  a = 2s

  32a +60s = 1116

It makes sense here to solve this by eliminating the s variable in any of several ways, since you ultimately want to know the value of 'a'.

Ervin sells vintage cars. Every three months, he manages to sell 13 cars. Assuming he sells cars at a constant rate, what is the
Vladimir [108]
Ervin sells 13 cars per 3 months so 13/3=4.3 cars per month. 

this means that 

___month___     ___cars sold___

          1                         4.3
          2                     2*4.3
          3                     3*4.3
          :                           :
          n                     n*4.3

the linear function representing the cars sold per month is f(n)=4.3*n

(Practically, this means that the expected number of cars sold after n months is a whole number close to 4.3*n.)

Answer:

the slope is 4.3 (13/3)

Which of the following is the graph of the inequality y&lt; -2x + 3?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

look at the photo

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the inequality is already written in y=mx+b, you can easily graph the line. +3 is the y intercept, so one point would be (0,3). -2 resembles the slope, so diagonally to the left, you would go up 2 and across 1. Also, since the sign is "<" you would graph with a dotted line. Then to know which side to shade, I always use the coordinate (0,0). I plug in 0 for both x and y to see if (0,0) satisfies the inequality. In this case it does, so you would shade on the side where (0,0) is located.
