Answer:
d=~7.6
Step-by-step explanation:
7^2+3^2=d^2
49+9=d^2
58=d^2
Square root of 58=~7.6
d=~7.6
Jace bought 4 cookies and 2 brownies from the bakery.
Let x represent the number of cookies and y represent the number of brownies.
Since he bought $9 worth of cookies and brownies. Each cookie costs $0.75 and each brownie costs $3. hence:
0.75x + 3y = 9 (1)
Also, he bought twice as many cookies as brownies, hence:
x = 2y
x - 2y = 0 (2)
Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives x = 4, y = 2
Hence Jace bought 4 cookies and 2 brownies from the bakery.
To make the exponent rational, for square root use 1/2. To wit:
10^(1/2)
