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! :)

The hexadecimal number is 0xFEE. what will be the octal number of this?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

0xFEE₁₆ = 7756₈

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the hexadecimal number to decimal first

0xFEE

E = 14

F = 15

Then convert them to binary

\frac{14}{2}=7

Remainder = 0

\frac{7}{2}=3

Remainder = 1

\frac{3}{2}=1

Quotient = 1

Remainder = 1

\frac{15}{2}=7

Remainder = 1

\frac{7}{2}=3

Remainder = 1

\frac{3}{2}=1

Quotient = 1

Remainder = 1

0           F      E       E

0000  1111 1110  1110

Take groups of three

and multiply with 2^n where n is the place of the digit

111          111   101   110

4,2,1     4,2,1    4,2,1  4,2,1

4+2+1  4+2+1  4+0+1  4+2+0

7756

So, 0xFEE₁₆ = 7756₈
