Andre’s school orders some new supplies for the chemistry lab. The online store shows a pack of 10 test tubes costs $4 less than

a set of nested beakers. In order to fully equip the lab, the school orders 12 sets of beakers and 8 packs of test tubes.
1. Write an equation that shows the cost of a pack of test tubes, t, in terms of the cost of a set of beakers, b.

2. The school office receives a bill for the supplies in the amount of $348. Write an equation with t and b that describes this situation.

3. Since t is in terms of b from the first equation, this expression can be substituted into the second equation where t appears. Write an equation that shows this substitution.

4. Solve the equation for b

5. How much did the school pay for a set of beakers? $

6. How much did the school pay for a pack of test tubes? $

10t = b - 4

12b+8t = $348

This is a system of equations. I’ll be solving through substitution.

In the first equation. solving for b (the easier variable to isolate) gives you:

b = 10t + 4

Substitute this into the second equation:

12(10t+4) +8t = 348

120t+48+8t = 348

128t = 300

t = 2.34375 —> round it to the nearest cent to get 2.34 dollars

b = 10t+4

b = 10(2.34)+4

b = 27.4 dollars

What is the supplement angle of 100?​
aleksley [76]

Answer:

An angle measuring 100 degrees would be supplementary to any angle measuring 80 degrees, but it cannot be called supplementary by itself. "Complementary" and "supplementary" are terms that describe the relationship between two angles. They are comparative words like "larger."

What is 15.37×5 show work
just olya [345]
This should be quite easy to explain. So the first thing you want to do is multiply them. This isn't to hard if you know your times tables. Don't worry about the decimal till the end.

 15.37
×      5
---------
 76.85

15.37 times 5 is 76.85

Now on to the decimal. All you need to do is move it two times to the left. You see how it's in between the 5 and 3? The same goes for your answer. So it is 76.85 

I hope this helped!! ^^ I can make this a little more easier to explain if you want me to just in case, ok?
