On a coordinate plane, a circle is centered at (5,5) and a triangle is centered at (-3,5). What is the distance between the centers of the circle and triangle?

The shapes don't really play a role in this story, do they.  Both points are on the horizontal line y=5 so the distance between them is the absolute difference of the x coordinates, 5- -3 = 8

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
