A music store sold a total of 27 used trumpets and clarinets in one month. Trumpets cost $149 and clarinets cost $99. If total s
vodomira [7]
Answer: 16

Solution:

1) Use letters to identify the variables:

Number of trumpets: t
Number of clarinets: c

2) Translate each statement into algebraic (mathematical) language.

2.1) Sold a total of 27 used trumpets and clarinets

=> t + c = 27

2.2) Trumpets cost $149 and clarinets cost $99

Total cost of the trumpets: 149t
Total cost of clarinets: 99c

Total cost = 149t + 99c

2.3) Total sales were $3223

=> 149t + 99c = 3223.

3) State the system of equations:

Equation (1) t + c = 27
Equation (2) 149t + 99c = 3223

4) Solve the system of equations:

4.1) Multiply equation 1 by 149:

=> 149t + 149c = 4023

4.2) Subtract the equation (2) from the equation obtained in 4.1

=> 149c - 99c = 4023 - 3223

=> 50c = 800

=> c = 800 / 50 = 16

5) Verify the solution:

From equation (1) t = 27 - 16 = 11

Total cost = 149*11 + 99*16 = 3223

Now you have a verified answer: they sold 16 clarinets

Solve similar triangles (advanced)<br> Solve for x<br> x=?
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

x = 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

AD/AB = DE/BC (Similarity Theorem)

AD = 6 + 4 = 10

AB = 6

DE = 2

BC = x

Plug in the values

10/6 = 2/x

Cross multiply

10*x = 2*6

10x = 12

Divide both sides by 10

x = 12/10

x = 1.2

cestrela7 [59]

\bf 7sin^2(x)-14sin(x)+2=-5\implies 7sin^2(x)-14sin(x)+7=0 \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{notice, this is just }ax^2+bx+c}{\stackrel{\stackrel{ax^2}{\downarrow }}{sin^2(x)}\stackrel{\stackrel{bx}{\downarrow }}{-2sin(x)}\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{+1}}=0\implies [sin(x)-1][sin(x)-1]=0 \\\\\\ sin(x)-1=0\implies sin(x)=1\implies \measuredangle x=sin^{-1}(1)\implies \measuredangle x=\cfrac{\pi }{2} \\\\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\stackrel{\textit{and for all solutions using }n \in \mathbb{Z}}{\cfrac{\pi }{2}+2\pi n}
