3. Olivia ordered 24 cupcakes and a layer cake. The layer cake cost $16 more than one
cupcake, and the total cost of the order was $53.50. What was the price of each cupcake?
a) Define a variable for the cost of one cupcake.
b) Write an expression to represent the cost of a layer cake.
c) Write and solve an equation.
d) Interpret your solution within the context of the problem.

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 10x + 5 = 5x + 17 (collect like terms)

-7x + 5 = 5x + 17 (subtract 5x on both sides)

-12x + 5 = 17 ( subtract 5 on each side)

-12x = 12 ( divide by -12 on each side)

x = -1

Answer:

x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]3x - 10x + 5 = 5x + 17[/tex]

Add the like terms.

[tex] - 7x + 5 = 5x + 17[/tex]

Add 7x to both sides.

[tex]5 = 12x + 17[/tex]

Subtract 17 from both sides.

[tex] - 12 = 12x[/tex]

[tex] - \frac{12}{12} = x[/tex]

[tex] - 1 = x[/tex]

Answer:

C. 24 inches by 15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Rectangle: 8\ by\ 5\ inches[/tex]

Required

Determine the scale copies

To do this, we calculate the ratio.

[tex]Ratio = \frac{Actual}{Measured}[/tex]

Analyzing A.

Sides: 1.4 by 2.5 inches

We start by calculating ratio of each sides;

Length:

[tex]Ratio =\frac{8}{1.4}[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = \frac{40}{7}[/tex]

Width:

[tex]Ratio = \frac{5}{2.5}[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = 2[/tex]

Analyzing B.

Sides: 15 inches by 10 inches

Length

[tex]Ratio = \frac{8}{15}[/tex]

Width:

[tex]Ratio = \frac{5}{10}[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Both ratios are not equal

Analyzing C.

24 inches by 15 inches

Length

[tex]Ratio = \frac{8}{24}[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Width:

[tex]Ratio = \frac{5}{15}[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Both ratios are equal

Analyzing D.

Sides: 9 inches by 6 inches

Length

[tex]Ratio = \frac{8}{9}[/tex]

Width

[tex]Ratio = \frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Both ratios are not equal

Option C answers the question because both ratio are equal

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8.5*6.2=52.7

The required time taken by Denise to complete the race is 52.7 minutes.

Given that,
Denise runs a 10-kilometer race (6.2 miles). Her average time per mile is 8.5 minutes per mile.

Speed is defined as when an object is subjected to move, the distance covered by the object in a certain time interval is the speed of that object.

The process in mathematics to operate and interpret the function to make the function or expression simple or more understandable is called simplifying and the process is called simplification.

Here,
Denise runs a 10-kilometer race (6.2 miles).
Denise run 1 mile in 8.5 minutes
Time is taken by denis to run 6.2 miles =  6.2 * 8.5
                                                                  = 52.7 minutes

Thus, the required time taken by Denise to complete the race is 52.7 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The masses of the birds are given as;

The mass of the robin =76.58 grams.

The mass of the blue jay = 81.05 grams.

Difference in the masses of the birds is : 81.05 - 76.58 =4.47

Difference in masses of the two birds is grams is : 81.05g - 76.58g =4.47g

Answer:

The commutative, associative, and distributive properties help you rewrite a complicated algebraic expression into one that is easier to deal with. When you rewrite an expression by a commutative property, you change the order of the numbers being added or multiplied.

Step-by-step explanation:

Commutative, Associative and Distributive  properties do we use to rewrite expressions and equations​.

An expression is combination of variables, numbers and operators.

The properties we use to rewrite expressions and equations​ are

The commutative

Associative, and

distributive properties

These properties help to rewrite a complicated algebraic expression into simpler form.

4x+2y+10 = 0 can be rewritten as 2y = -4x-10 and dividing by 2 yields the slope/intercept form of y = mx+b

y = -2x-5

where -2 is the slope (m) and -5 the y-intercept (b)

the line we seek has that same slope, will pass through (7,3), but will have a different y-intercept. Plugging in 7 and 3 for x and y gives us

3 = -2(7)+b => 3 = -14+b => 17 = b making our new line’s equation:

y = -2x+17

An equation of the line that passes through the point (- 8, 0) and is parallel to the line x - 2y = 10 is y = -2x+17.

If the slope of a line is m and the y-intercept is c, then the equation of that straight line is given as:

y = mx +c

To find the slope of a line, we find the rate at which the value of 'y' is increasing as we increase the value of 'x' by one unit.

We know that 4x+2y+10 = 0 can be rewritten as 2y = -4x-10

Thus, dividing by 2 yields the slope/intercept form of y = mx+b

y = -2x-5

where, -2 is the slope (m) and -5 the y-intercept (b)

Now the line we has that same slope, will pass through (7,3), but will have a different y-intercept.

Then Plugging in 7 and 3 for x and y gives us;

3 = -2(7)+b

3 = -14+b

17 = b

Therefore, our new line’s equation:

y = -2x+17

Answer:

the very bottom graph

Step-by-step explanation:

all of the points listed on the table match the graph

x values is found on the x axis (left to right)

y values are found on the y axis (up and down)

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

From graph, points (2, 0) and (0, -2).

slope m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

              = (-2 - 0) / (0 - 2)

              = -2 / -2

              = 1

y-intercept using anyone of the above points and m:

y = mx + b

0 = 1(2) + b

0 = 2 + b

b = -2

Equation of line using m and b:

y = 1x - 2

Use y = 1x - 2 to check the points given in tables:

All points in below table seems to work.

(0, -2)    

-2 = 0 - 2

-2 = -2

(1, -1)

-1 = 1 - 2

-1 = -1

(2, 0)

0 = 2 - 2

0 = 0

(4,2)

2 = 4 - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer fam is............  A. Hundreds

The hundreds are the scale you would measure the number of minutes the father must ride his scooter before catching up to his daughter option (A) is correct.

It is defined as the change in values of a dependent variable with respect to the independent variables.

We have:

A young equestrian loved to ride her horse all day long, dreaming of the day she would ride in the Kentucky Derby.

She left home at 10:00 am and rode her stallion at a nice, steady 10 miles per hour away from her house

The rate = 10 miles/hour

Father's scooter rate = 15 miles/hour

Based on the data given the number of minutes the father must ride his scooter before catching up to his daughter should measure on a scale of hundreds.

Thus, the hundreds are the scale you would measure the number of minutes the father must ride his scooter before catching up to his daughter option (A) is correct.

Answer:

When 60 beats are heard, Tom hits 15 snare drums, Sam hits 6 kettle drums, and Matt hits 5 bass drums.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Least Common Multiple ( LCM )

The LCM of two integers a,b is the smallest positive integer that is evenly divisible by both a and b.

For example:

LCM(20,8)=40

LCM(35,18)=630

Since Tom, Sam, and Matt are counting drum beats at their own frequency, we must find the least common multiple of all their beats frequency.

Find the LCM of 4,10,12. Follow this procedure:

List prime factorization of all the numbers:

4 = 2*2

10 = 2*5

12 = 2*2*3

Multiply all the factors the greatest times they occur:

LCM=2*2*3*5=60

Thus, when 60 beats are heard, Tom hits 15 snare drums, Sam hits 6 kettle drums, and Matt hits 5 bass drums.
