The cost per foot of redwood and of pine is $3.5 and $1.5 respectively.

<h3>How to solve simultaneous equation?</h3>

let

  • cost of redwood = x
  • cost of pine = y

50x + 70y = 280

100x + 60y = 440

Multiply (1) by 2

100x + 140y = 560

100x + 60y = 440

subtract to eliminate x

80y = 120

y = 120/80

y = $1.5

substitute y = 1.5 into (1)

50x + 70y = 280

50x + 70(1.5) = 280

50x + 105 = 280

50x = 280 - 105

50x = 175

x = 175 / 50

x = $3.5

What is the answer to 21=(x+3)2
IceJOKER [234]
First, distribute 2 to the (x+3) to get:
21 = 2x+6
subtract 6 from both sides to get:
15 = 2x
Finally, we divide both sides by 2 to simplify x to:
x = 7.5 (OR) x = 7  \frac{1}{2}
(Just so you know, if you pick a brainliest answer, both you and the person who got the brainliest answer get some points.
