Answer:yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let C be the amount of compost
T be the amount of topsoil
Each compost cost = $25
Cost of C compost = 25C
Each topsoil cost = $15
Cost of T topsoil = 15T
Amount of compost + amount of topsoil = 10
C + T = 10 -------> Equation 1
cost of C compost + cost of T topsoil = 180
25C + 15T = 180 --------> equation 2
Solve the first equation for C
C + T = 10
C = 10 - T
Now plug it in second equation
25C + 15T = 180
25 ( 10 - T) +15T = 180
250 - 25T + 15T = 180 (combine like terms)
250 - 10 T = 180 (Subtract 250 on both sides)
-10T = 180 - 250
-10T = -70 ( divide by -10 on both sides)
T = 7
She purchased 7 cubic yards of topsoil .
The answer is 35/10 and 6/10
For 18 x 8.7 = 156.6
For 23 x 56.1 = 1290.3
For 47 x 5.92 = 278.24
but i don't know how to explain the steps, just the answers.
but hope i helped.
put the equation 2x - y = 16 in the form of y = mx + c
2x - y = 16
2x = 16 + y
y = 2x - 16
the slope of this line is 2. the slope of a line perpendicular to it would be the negative reciprocal of 2. in other words, it would multiply with 2 to give -1.
you can form this equation with that info
2x = -1
x = -1/2
OR
you can flip and change the sign (numerator) of 2/1
2/1
= -1/2
