Set up a system of equations:


\text{Total shirts bought}

x + y = 9


\text{Total cost}

10x + 7y = 72


x represents how many tee shirts were bought, and y represents how many long sleeve shirts were bought.


For the first equation, subtract y from both sides to get x by itself:


x = 9 - y


We'll now use substitution. Since x is equal to a value, we can substitute this value for the other equation:


10(9-y) + 7y = 72


Distribute the 10 to both terms in parentheses:


10 \times 9 = 90

10 \times -y = -10y


90 - 10y +7y = 72


Combine like terms:


-10y + 7y = -3y

90 - 3y = 72


Subtract 90 from both sides:


-3y = -18


Divide both sides by -3 to get y by itself:


y = 6


6 long sleeve shirts were bought.


Now you have a value for y. Input this value into the first equation:


x + 6 = 9


Subtract both sides by 6 to get x by itself:


x = 3


3 tee shirts were bought.


The answer is B. 3 tee shirts and 6 long sleeve shirts.

Let’s look at the combinations of shirts and see if they add up to 72.
A. 5*10=50,4*7= 24, 50+24=74 So, it can’t be A.
B. 3*10=30,6*7=42, 30+42=72. So, it can be B... but let’s check the others too!
C. 7*10=70, 2*7=14, 70+14=84. So, not C.
D. 4*10=40, 5*7=35, 40+35=75.
So, the answer is B. 3 T-shirts and 6 long sleeve shirts! Hope this helped!

oksian1 [2.3K]
I think it would be 117

Because H is 63
So 90+90+63=243
360-243=117
I used 360 because angles in quadrilaterals add up to 360 degrees

If s and t are integers greater than 1 and each is a factor of the integer n, which of the following must be a factor of n^{st}
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

E) 1 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that there are two integers (s and t) and they are factors of another integer (n). For example if s = 3 and t = 2, we can have n = 6.

Thus:

n^(st) = 6^(2*3) = 6^6 = (2^6)(3^6)

For the first condition: s^t = 3^2 is a factor of (2^6)(3^6)

For the second condition: (st)^2 = (3*2)^2 = 6^2 is a factor of 6^6

For the third condition: s+t = 3+2 = 5 is not a factor of 6^6 or (2^6)(3^6)

Therefore, only 1 and 2 are factors of n^(st)
