Let

x
be the price for a pound of ham
y the price for a pound of cheese

<span>1.3x +0.8y = 11.28  ....(1)
1.5x +1.2y = 14.76  ....(2)

Lets multiply (1) by -1.2
Lets multiply (2) by 0.8

-1.56x -0.96y = -13.536 .....(3)
</span> 1.2x + 0.96y = 11.808 .....(4)


If we add (3) and (4)

-0.36x = -1.728 ............> x = 4.8

We substitute in (1)

1.3(4.8) +0.8y = 11.28

y = 6.3

Price per pound of ham = x = 4.8
Price per pound of cheese = y = 6.3

A similarity transformation maps polygon ABCD to polygon PQRS. If the length of is 6 and the length of the corresponding side, ,
grigory [225]
For this case, what we must do is find the scale factor.
 We have then that the scale factor is given by:
 k =  \frac{L1}{L2}
 Where,
 L1: side length of polygon ABCD
 L2: side length of polygon PQRS
 Note: both sides belong to the same side of each polygon
 Substituting the values we have:
 k = \frac{6}{12}
 Rewriting we have:
 k = \frac{1}{2}
 Answer:
 
The scale factor of dilation is given by:
 
k = \frac{1}{2}

Minerva starts a savings account with $50. The interest on the account balance is compounded annually. The graph below shows the
rodikova [14]

We can set up this equation using this formula:

a = p(1 + r/n)^nt

p = starting amount.

r = interest.

n = number of times it's compounded in a year

t = years

We'd set it up like this:

a = 50(1 + ?/1)^1(12)

Because we're missing the amount of interest, it would be impossible to tell what the amount would be after 12 years.

Please help me!!! :(
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

15.75x^{10}y^{19}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the 5th term in the expansion, we first will need to apply the binomial theorem. I have attached an image of the binomial theorem formula due to not being able to type it.

After applying the binomial theorem and simplifying, you should get:

512x^{18}y^{27}-576x^{16}y^{25}+288x^{14}y^{23}-84x^{12}y^{21}+\frac{63x^{10}y^{19}}{4}-\frac{63x^8y^{17}}{32}+\frac{21x^6y^{15}}{128}-\frac{9x^4y^{13}}{1024}+\frac{9x^2y^{11}}{32768}-\frac{y^9}{262144}

Our 5th term here is: \frac{63x^{10}y^{19}}{4} which is equal to 15.75x^{10}y^{19}

~Hope this helps! Sorry if my answer is confusing at all, it's pretty difficult to explain.~

The following formula can be used to find the distance that a person has run.
Mrrafil [7]
So distance = rate × time. You would do 3/4 × 5.5, which would get you 4.125.
