A local restaurant only sells burgers and cokes. 3 burgers and 5 comes cost $17, while 6 burgers and 9 cokes cost $33. What’s the price of a burger?

The price of a burger is $4 and that of cone is $1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of burger is x and that of cone is y.

ATQ,

3x+5y = 17 (1)

And

6x + 9y = 33 ...(2)

Multiply equation (1) by 2.

6x + 10 y = 34 ...(3)

Subtract equation (2) from (3)

6x + 10 y-(6x + 9y) = 34 - 33

6x + 10 y-6x- 9y = 1

y = 1

Put the value of y in equation (1)

3x+5 = 17

3x = 12

x = 4

So, the price of a burger is $4 and that of the cone is $1.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
