You buy 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants for $32. Your friend buys 2 shirts and 3 pairs of pants for $40. How much did each item cost?

First let’s define a shirt as X and pants as Y!

In the first scenario, the equation will be 3X + Y =$32

In the second scenario, the equation will be 2X + 3Y = $40  

Now because we have two different variables (X & Y) let’s solve for one of them (Ex: Y) to simplify the equations!

3X + Y= $32—> subtract 3X on both sides of the equation  

-3X.        - 3X

Net result: Y= 32- 3X

Now we can insert this into the second equation 2X + 3Y = $40 in order to solve for X variable  

2X + 3(32-3X) = $40

2X + 96 - 9X = $40 —> simplify the equation  

-7X + 96 = $40 —> substrate 96 from both sides  

-7X = -56 —> divide both sides by -7  

X= 8  

Now reinsert 8= X into 3X + Y = $32

3(8) + Y = $32

24+ Y = $32 —> substract 24 from both sides

y = 8

ANSWER: X= 8, Y= 8

What is the slope of the line through (-9.6) and (-6,-9)?
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Slope= -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

First you label your points:

X1=-9

Y1=6

X2=-6

Y2=-9

Next you plug in your points and solve

-6-9=-15

-6-(-9)=3

And finally, you simplify

Slope= -15/3=5

If possible, please mark brainliest.

Can someone help me figure out the answer?
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

f(t) = 5×0.87^t

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form for an exponential function described in this fashion is ...

... f(t) = (starting value) × (1 + (percent change))^t

Here, the "percent change" is -13%, or -0.13.

Then the value (1 + percent change) is (1 + (-0.13)) = 0.87. Putting this and the starting value into the form above, we have ...

... f(t) = 5 × 0.87^t
