10. The Pizza Shack is famous for its thick-crust pizza. Last Wednesday, the Divita, Lee, and Washington families all ate at the Pizza Shack.
The Divitas ordered a cheese pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms, a cheese pizza with
garlic and olives, and five soft drinks. Their bill was $26.25.
The Lees ordered a cheese pizza with sausage, onions, and green peppers and three soft
drinks. Their bill was $14.75.
The Washingtons were having a birthday party. They ordered five cheese pizzas, three with
just pepperoni and two with pineapple and Canadian bacon. They also ordered 12 soft drinks.
Their bill was $61.50.
Write and solve a system of equations to find the price of a plain cheese pizza, the price of each
topping, and the price of a soft drink. (Assume that the price for each topping is the same and
that the bills do not include tax or tip.) (5)

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:

step-by-step explanation:

it will be a cylinder. with a diameter of 8 and 4 single pieces high

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
