SOMEONE please help me

she played 5 games and went on 8 rides

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of games that Sydney played.

Let y represent the number of rides that Sydney went on.

Each game cost $1.25 and each ride cost $2.25. If Sydney spent $24.25 altogether at the carnival, then the expression is

1.25x + 2.25y = 24.25- - - - - - - - - - -1

If the number of rides that she went on is 3 more than the number of games that she played, the expression would be

y = x + 3

Substituting y = x + 3 into equation 1, it becomes

1.25x + 2.25(x + 3) = 24.25

1.25x + 2.25x + 6.75 = 24.25

3.5x = 24.25 - 6.75

3.5x = 17.5

x = 17.5/3.5

x = 5

y = x + 3 = 5 + 3

y = 8

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
