The cost of each bag of soil is $ 16.25 and the cost of each bag of fertilizer is $ 12.99.

<h3>What is the linear system?</h3>

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

Mr. Ellis has started a vegetable garden.

He bought 15 bags of soil and 3 bags of fertilizer for 282.72.

He realized he did not have enough supplies so he bought another 5 bags of soil and 2 bags of fertilizer for 107.23.

Let the cost of each bag of soil be x and the cost of a bag of fertilizer be y.

Then we have the linear equations,

15x + 3y = 282.72

5x + 2y = 107.23

On solving the equations 1 and 2, we have

x = 16.25 and y = 12.99

The cost of each bag of soil is $ 16.25 and the cost of each bag of fertilizer is $ 12.99.

More about the linear system link is given below.

Suppose y varies inversely with x, and y = 32 when x = 4. What is the value of y when x = 8?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse variation is of the form

xy = k where k is a constant

x=4 and y = 32

4*32 = k

128 = k

xy = 128

Let x = 8

8y = 128

Divide each side by 8

8y/8 = 128/8

y =16

P(-3,6), Q(-3,-6) and R(6,-2) are the vertices of a triangle. Calculate the perimeter of this triangle.​
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

33.89

Step-by-step explanation:

the side lengths are the distances between the corner points of the triangle.

P and Q have the same x value, and they therefore create a side parallel to the y-axis. and it is easy to find the length of this side : it is just the difference of the y values.

PQ = 6 - (-6) = 6 + 6 = 12

QR and RP are trickier.

we need Pythagoras to calculate the length of the direct connection between these points as the Hypotenuse of the right triangles with the differences in x and in y values as the other sides.

QR :

QR² = (-3 - 6)² + (-6 - -2)² = (-9)² + (-4)² = 81 + 16 = 97

QR = sqrt(97) ≈ 9.848857802

RP :

RP² = (6 - -3)² + (-2 - 6)² = 9² + (-8)² = 81 + 64 = 145

RP = sqrt(145) ≈ 12.04159458

the perimeter/circumference of the triangle is the sum of all 3 sides

= 12 + sqrt(97) + sqrt(145) ≈ 33.89

Can someone help me solve this question? Step by step please
Nina [5.8K]
So what we do is we first get the x on the right side: 7x-x = 6x.

Now we get the 5 to the left side: 71-5= 66.

Now our equation is 66=6x.
We divide 66 by 6 which makes x=11
