Answer: the cost of each bush is $15
the cost of each flower is $2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of each bush.
Let y represent the cost of each flower.
Portia bought 12 bushes and 30 flowers for $240 to plant in her yard. This is expressed as
12x + 30y = 240- - - - - - - - - - -1
Later, she realized she did not have enough plants and bought 7 more bushes and 10 more flowers for $125. This is expressed as
7x + 10y = 125- - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 7 and equation 2 by 12, it becomes
84x + 210y = 1680
84x + 120y = 1500
Subtracting, it becomes
90y = 180
y = 180/90
y = 2
Substituting y = 2 into equation 1, it becomes
12x + 30 × 2 = 240
12x + 60 = 240
12x = 240 - 60 = 180
x = 180/12
x = 15
Isn’t that considered cheating since it’s a test??
The answer is:
the 3rd quadrant ! (Quadrant III)
9.8t^2-49t+40=0
t=(49±√833)/19.6
t≈1.027, 3.97
1.027<t<3.97
Step-by-step explanation:
we need to find how much 14/70 is equal to ? over 100
100/70=1.42857142857
14x1.42857142857=20
Therefore she drinks 20/100 she drinks before she goes on a ride.
or 20%
