Answer:

$33

Step-by-step explanation: ( pls brainiest)

Let the cost of each shirt is $ x, and the cost of each sweater is $ y.

Since, cost of each shirt is $ x, the cost of 3 shirts will be $ 3x and cost of 2 shorts will be $ 2x.

Likewise, cost of each sweater is $ y, so the cost of 2 sweaters will be $ 2y and cost of 4 sweaters will be $ 4y.

Andrea was able to buy 3 shirts and 2 sweaters for $114. This means:

Cost of 3 shirts + Cost of 2 sweaters  = 114

3x + 2y = 114                                            Equation 1

She was able to buy 2 shirts and 4 sweaters for $164. This means

2x + 4y = 164

Dividing both sides by 2, we get:

x + 2y = 82                                              Equation 2

Subtracting Equation 2 from Equation 1, we get:

3x + 2y - (x + 2y) = 114 - 82

3x + 2y - x - 2y = 32

2x = 32

x = 16

Using the value of x, in Equation 2, we get:

16 + 2y = 82

2y = 66

y = 33

Since, x represents the cost of shirt, the cost of each shirt is $ 16.

y represents the cost of sweater, so the cost of each sweater is $ 33.

Slope=-3 goes through (1,2) whats the equation
dedylja [7]

Hi student, let me help you out! :)

..............................................................................................................................................

We are asked to find the equation of the line, using the given information:

\star~\mathrm{-3}, which is the slope

\star~\mathrm{(1,2)} which is a point that the line contains

\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}

  • The slope is the number before x, in the form \mathtt{y=mx+b}.

Since "m" is the slope, and we're given what the slope is, we can substitute -3 for m:

\dag~\mathtt{y=-3x+b}

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Now, we need to find the y intercept, "b", of the line.

Here's how it's done:

Remember the point that the line contains, (1,2)?

Well, its y-coordinate is 2; so what we do is substitute 2 for y:

\dag~\mathtt{2=-3x+b}

Also, its x-coordinate is 1, so we substitute 1 for x:

\dag~\mathtt{2=-3(1)+b}

Now, solve for b:

\dag~\mathtt{2=-3+b}

Add 3 to both sides:

\dag~\mathtt{2+3=b}

Thus, we have

\dag~\mathtt{5=b}

Thus, the equation of the line is:

\bigstar\underline{\boxed{\mathtt{y=-3x+5}}}

Hope it helps you out! :D

||x-4|-2|&lt;3 <br> Solve for X
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

x<11

Step-by-step explanation:

x−4(|−2|)<3

Simplifies to:

x−8<3

Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.

x−8<3

Step 1: Add 8 to both sides.

x−8+8<3+8

x<11
