By hypothesis, the price of the shoes is represented by x, and the price of the hat is represented by y.
"Devin spent a total of $64 dollars for shoes and a hat" can be represented by the equation x + y = 64
"The shoes cost $6 more than the hat" can be represented by the equation x=y+6

We can now create a system:
x + y = 64 (1)
x = y + 6 (2)

Let's use the value of x from equation 2 and replace in equation (1):
x + y = 64
y + 6 + y = 64
2y + 6 = 64
Subtract 6 from each side to have the variables on a side and the numbers on the other:
2y + 6 = 64
2y + 6 - 6 = 64 - 6
2y = 58
Then divide both sides by 2 to have the variable y alone on the first side and its value on the other side:
(2y)/2 = 58/2
y = 29

We found the value of y.

Now let's use the value of y in equation (1), in order to find the value of x:
x = y + 6
x = 29 + 6
x = 35

We found the value of x.

So the price of the shoes is x = $35 and the price of the hat is y = $29.

You can recheck your answer (very important):
x + y = 29 + 35 = 64 (David spent a total of $64 dollars for shoes and a hat)
y + 6 = 29 + 6 = 35 = x (The shoes cost $6 more than the hat)

Hope this Helps! :)

Answer:

y = 3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the Graph is Parallel to y = 3x + 11, we know that the "mx" portion of the equation is 3x since only the "b" would be different.

Then we just substitute in the point and to find b.

4 = 3(1) + b

b = 1

y = 3x + 1  is the answer

What is the difference of the volumes of the two oblique pyramids, both of which have square bases? Round the volumes to the nea
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for the figure

Volume of pyramid can be defined as

V = 1/3 x area of the base x height.

-> Pyramid A:

Volume of Pyramid can be determined by:

V = 1/3 x (2.6cm)² x (2cm) = 4.5067 cm³

Pyramid B:

Volume of Pyramid can be determined by:

V = 1/3 x (2cm)² x (2.5cm) =  3.3333 cm³

Difference b/w two oblique pyramids: 4.5067 cm³ - 3.333 cm³ = 1.17 cm³

By Rounding the volumes to the nearest tenth of a centimeter

1.17cm³ ≈ 1.2cm³

Therefore,  the difference of the volumes of the two oblique pyramids is 1.2cm³
