HELP ASAP DUE TOMORROW!!!
On a family outing, Tyler bought 5 cups of hot cocoa (x)
and 4 pretzels (y) for $18.40. Some of his family members
would like a second serving, so he went back to the same
food stand and bought another 2 cups of hot cocoa (x) and
4 pretzels (y) for $11.20.

Answers

Answer 1

Answers:

x = 2.40

y = 1.60

This means 1 hot cocoa costs $2.40 and 1 pretzel costs $1.60

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

Work Shown:

x = cost of 1 cup of hot cocoa

y = cost of 1 pretzel

5x = cost of 5 cocoas

4y = cost of 4 pretzels

5x+4y = cost of 5 cocoas+4 pretzels

5x+4y = 18.40

----------------

2x = cost of 2 cocoas

4y = cost of 4 pretzels

2x+4y = cost of 2 cocoas+4 pretzels

2x+4y = 11.20

----------------

The system of equations we have is

[tex]\begin{cases}5x+4y = 18.40\\2x+4y = 11.20\end{cases}[/tex]

Note how 4y shows up twice. This is handy to be able to get rid of the y terms completely.

How? By subtracting the equations straight down

The x terms subtract to 5x-2x = 3x

The y terms subtract to 4y-4y = 0y = 0 and they go away

The right hand sides subtract to 18.40 - 11.20 = 7.20

After those three separate subtractions, we have this new equation:

3x = 7.20

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

3x/3 = 7.20/3

x = 2.40

Each hot cocoa costs $2.40

Now use this x value to find y. You can pick any equation you want as long as it has x,y in it. I'll pick the first equation

5x+4y = 18.40

5(2.40)+4y = 18.40

12+4y = 18.40

4y = 18.40-12

4y = 6.40

y = 6.40/4

y = 1.60

Each pretzel costs $1.60

If we picked on the second equation, we should get the same y value

Let's find out

2x+4y = 11.20

2(2.40)+4y = 11.20

4.80+4y = 11.20

4y = 11.20-4.80

4y = 6.40

y = 6.40/4

y = 1.60

We get the same result as before.

To check the answers, you need to plug those values back into the two original equations and simplify. You should get the same thing on both sides.

As angle 6y° and angle( 13y - 10 )° are interior angles on the same side of transversal their sum will be equal to 180° .

Then :-

[tex]6y + 13y - 10 = 180[/tex]

[tex] 19y - 10 = 180[/tex]

[tex]19y = 180 + 10[/tex]

[tex]19y = 190[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{190}{19} [/tex]

[tex]y = 10[/tex]

Which means :-

= 13y - 10

= 13 × 10 - 10

= 130 - 10

= 120°

Then angle 6y :-

= 6 × 10

= 60°

As angle 60° and angle 9x + 12° are a linear their sum will also add up to form 180° .

Which can be written as :-

[tex]60 + 9x + 12 = 180[/tex]

[tex]9x + 72 = 180[/tex]

[tex]9x = 180 - 72[/tex]

[tex]9x = 108[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{108}{9} [/tex]

[tex]x = 12[/tex]

Then :-

= Angle 9x + 12

= 9 × 12 + 12

= 108 + 12

= 120°

Therefore , the value of y = 10 and the value of x = 12 .

Are the triangles PQR and RST similar why or why not?

Answers

Answer: The triangles are similar

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

Explanation:

The square markers show that

angle RPQ = angle RST = 90 degrees

So that's one pair of congruent angles. Another pair of congruent angles is what you see in the diagram below. The angles marked in red are congruent alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles are congruent when we have parallel lines like this.

Since we have two pairs of congruent angles, we can use the AA (angle angle) similarity theorem to prove the triangles congruent.

Answer:

Triangle PQR and RST are both right triangles but they do not share the same  side lengths. They also share the same point R, so I would say that they are similar only because they are both right triangles.

Which equation has exactly one solution in common with the equation y=6x-2?

A. 18x - 3y = 6
B. 1/2y = 3x - 2
C. 2y = 4x - 12
D. 18x - 12 = 3y

Answers

Answer:

A. 18x - 3y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

By taking 3 common from the terms 18x and 3y we get,

3 (6x-3y) = 6

or, 6x - y = 6/3

or, 6x - y = 2

And,

The equation becomes,

y = 6x - 2

The equation has exactly one solution in common with the equation y=6x-2 will be 18x - 3y = 6. The correct option is A.

What is a system of equations?

A finite set of equations for which common solutions are sought is referred to in mathematics as a set of simultaneous equations, often known as a system of equations or an equation system.

An equation is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

By taking 3 commons from the terms 18x and 3y we get,

3 (6x-3y) = 6

6x - y = 6/3

6x - y = 2

The equation becomes,

y = 6x - 2

Therefore, the equation has exactly one solution in common with the equation y=6x-2 will be 18x - 3y = 6. The correct option is A.

1. The sum of 5 and x is 20. What is x?

Answers

the answer would be 15.

If the sum of 5 and x is 20, then the value of x will be 15.

It is given that the sum of 5 and x is 20.

Mathematically, it can be written as:

5 + x = 20

We have to find the value of x.

In order to find the value of x we need to separate the variable and constant.

For this, subtract 5 from both the sides:

5+x-5 = 20-5

5-5 +x = 20-5

Then, solve the operation of subtraction on both the sides of above equation.

0+x = 15   -------(A)

Since, when we add 0 to any quantity, the result will be this quantity itself.

So, 0+x = x -------(B)

From (A) and (B), Sine the left sides of equation (A) and (B) are equal, then the right sides will also be equal.

Equation right sides of (A) and (B). We have:

x = 15

Hence, the value of x is 15.

Lea's school is selling tickets to the annual talent show. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 12 adult tickets and 7 child tickets for a total of $236. The school took in $217 on the second day by selling 7 adult tickets and 14 child tickets. What is the price each of one adult ticket and one child ticket?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of children be x

and the number of adults be y

so

7x+12y=236-----1

and

14x+7y=217------2

equating both 1 and 2 we have

7x+12y=236-----1

14x+7y=217------2

multiply 1 by 2

subtract 2 from 1 we have

  14x+24y=472-----3

 - 14x+7y=217------2

    0x+17y=255

17y=255

y=255/17

y=15

put y=15 in eqn 1 we have

7x+12y=236-----1

7x+12*15=236-----1

7x+180=236-----1

7x=236-180

7x=236-180

x=56/7

x=8

therefore a child will cost $8 and adult will cost $15
