Answer: the cost of a milkshake is $2.59

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of a banana split.

Let y represent the cost of a milkshake.

At the ice cream shop, one banana split and five milkshakes cost $16.24. This is expressed as

x + 5y = 16.24- - - - - - - - - - - - -1

If three banana splits and two milkshakes cost $15.05. This is expressed as

3x + 2y = 15.05- - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 3 and equation 2 by 1, it becomes

3x + 15y = 48.72

3x + 2y = 15.05

Subtracting, it becomes

13y = 33.67

y = 33.67/13

y = 2.59

Substituting y = 2.59 into equation 1, it becomes

x + 5 × 2.59 = 16.24

x + 12.95 = 16.24

x = 16.24 - 12.95

x = 3.29

A train leaves San Diego at 1:00 pm. A second train leaves the same city in the same direction at 3:00 pm. The second train trav
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The speed of the first train is 45 mph and the speed of the second train is 75 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the first train in mph. Since the second train, is 30 mph faster then the first, therefore the speed of the second train is (x + 30).

The first train leaves at 1:00 pm, therefore at 6:00 pm, the time taken is 5 hours. Therefore the distance covered by the first train at 6:00 pm = x mph * 5 hours = 5x miles

The second train leaves at 3:00 pm, therefore at 6:00 pm, the time taken is 3 hours. Therefore the distance covered by the second train at 6:00 pm = (x + 30) mph * 3 hours = (3x + 90) miles

Since the second train overtakes the first at 6:00 pm, hence:

3x + 90 = 5x

2x = 90

x = 45

Therefore the speed of the first train is 45 mph and the speed of the second train is 75 mph (45 mph + 30 mph).

8 There are a combined 33 students who play a spring sport of track or
Rzqust [24]

The number of students that are on the track team are 18.

The number of students that are on the baseball team are 15.

<h3>What are the linear equations that represent the question?</h3>

a + b = 33 equation 1

a - b = 3 equation 2

Where:

  • a = number of students that are on the track team
  • b = number of students that are on the baseball team

<h3>How many students that are on the baseball team?</h3>

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1

2b = 30

Divide both sides by 2

b = 30/2 = 15

<h3>How many students that are on the track team?</h3>

Subtract 15 from 33: 33 - 15 = 18

Find the domain for the function f(x)=sqrt x^2-x+6
dybincka [34]

Answer:

The domain is {x : x ∈ R} or (-∞ , ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to find the domain

- The domain of the function is the values of x which make the

  function defined

- The quantity under the square root must be ≥ 0 because there is

  no square root for negative value

* Lets solve the problem

∵ f(x) = √(x² - x + 6)

∴ The value of (x² - x + 6) must be greater than or equal zero because  

   there is no square root for negative value

- Graph the function to know which values of x make the quantity

  under the root is negative that means the values of x which make

  the graph under the x-axis

∵ The graph doesn't intersect the x-axis at any point

∵ All the graph is above the x-axis

∴ There is no value of x make f(x) < 0

∴ x can be any real number

∴ The domain of f(x) is all real numbers

∴ The domain is {x : x ∈ R} or (-∞ , ∞)

One year on Venus is equivalent to 224.7 days on Earth. How many days on Earth, in decimal from, are equivalent to 9 ½ years on
Ivan

By using simple rule of three, a period of 9.5 years on Venus is equivalent to 2134.65 terrestrial days.

<h3>How many terrestrial days are equivalent time in Venus?</h3>

One year on Earth is equivalent to 365.3 days and one year on Venus is equivalent to 224.7 days, the equivalent terrestrial time of 9.5 years on Venus is found by simple rule of three:

x = 9.5 yr × (224.7 days / 1 yr)

x = 2134.65 days

A period of 9.5 years on Venus is equivalent to 2134.65 terrestrial days.
