Answer:

Diapers costs $11 and formula is $13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's name diapers as A and formula as B.

Simply the equations:

1A + 2B = $37(1)

2A + 5B = $87(2)

Clear D from one equation.

A = $37 - 2B(1)

Replace D into the other equation.

2*($37 - 2B) + 5B = $87(2)

$74 - 4B + 5B = $87

$74 + B = $87

B = $87 - $74 = $13

Find A, now knowing B.

A = $37 - 2($13)

A = $37 - $26 = $11

Answer:

Cost of a bag of diapers is $11 and cost of one can of formula is $13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost of each diaper = $D and cost of each cans of formula = $C

Malik shops a bag of diapers and 2 cans of formula.

He spends total of $37.

So the equation will be

D + 2C = 37 -------(1)

Next week he stops and buys 2 bags of diapers and 5 cans of formula.

He spends total $87.

Equation for this purchase will be

2D + 5C = 87 ----------(2)

Multiply equation (1) by 2 and subtract it from equation (2).

2(D + 2C) - (2D + 5C) = 2×37 - 87

2D + 4C - 2D - 5C = 74 - 87

-C = - 13

C = 13

From equation (1)

D + 2×13 = 37

D + 26 = 37

D = 37 - 26

D = 11

Therefore, cost of a bag of diapers is $11 and cost of one can of formula is $13.

Aleks [24]
Area of Consuela's rectangular living room = 360 square feet
Let us assume the the length of the living room = x
Then
width of the living room = (5/8) * x
                                      = (5x/8)
Then
Area of the rectangle = Length * Width
360 = x * (5x/8)
360 = 5x^2/8
2880 = 5x^2
x^2 = 2880/5
x^2 = 576
x^2 = (24)^2 inches
x = 24
Then
The length of the rectangle is = 24 inches
And 
The Width of the rectangle is = 24 * (5/8) inches
                                               = 3 * 5 inches
                                               = 15 inches

If an arithmetic progression satisfies U4=7 , U8=15 .Find U10​
Alja [10]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>U10 = 19</em>

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em>The sequence is </em>Ux=(x*2)-1<em />

<em>x is the coefficient to U.</em>

<em>So, </em>U10=(10*2)-1<em />

<em>Which means </em>U10=20-1<em />

<em>Which means </em>U10=19<em />

<em>And there is your answer.</em>

Ella and kate play basketball last year ella scored 16 points per game kates total points for the season were 22 less than Ellis
KatRina [158]

Alright, lets get started.

Ella and kate played basketball last year.

In each game, Ella scored 16 points.

We have not given the number of games played.

So, lets suppose there are n games played last year.

So, total points of Ella will be = number of games * each game score

total points of Ella will be = n * 16 = 16 n

Kates total points for the season are 22 less than Elli's points

Means , Kates total points = 16 n - 22

This expression is similar with expression given 16 z - 22 (which is give in question)

It means z = n , means variable z means total games played in last year. : Answer

Hope it will help :)
