3s + 4j = 360
1s + 3j = 220

This one we can solve using substitution, in that
s + 3j = 220 implies s = 220 - 3j (subtract 3j from each side).

Now substitute into the first equation:

3(220 - 3j) + 4j = 360.  Solve for jackets.
660 - 9j + 4j = 360  [Distributive property]
660 - 5j = 360 [Add -9j + 4j]
Subtract 360 from each side, and add 5j to each side.
660 - 360 - 5j + 5j = 360 - 360 + 5j
300 = 5j
Divide each side by 5.
$60 = price of a jacket.

Three of these plus a shirt runs $220.
3(60) = 180
180 + s = 220
180 - 180 + s = 220 - 180 [Subtract 180 from each side]
s =   40

Now we double check.
3(40) + 4 (60) = 120 + 240 = 360.  This satisfies the first equation.
We could check the second one too, but I'm satisfied.

Answer:

  $95 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of charges is the sum of the cost of labor and the cost of parts. The cost of labor is the product of hours (5) and the cost per hour (x). Then the equation for total cost is ...

  total cost = parts cost + hours cost

  651 = 176 + 5x

  475 = 5x . . . . . . . subtract 176

  95 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

The cost of labor per hour is $95.

Gaveing out points for helpers!!​

Because the two angles add up to equal 90, you would make an equation set to equal 90. On the other end you add the measures of your angles together because they are adding up to equal 90. This would look like 2x+5+35=90 and you solve from here. Add like terms making it 2x+40=90 then you subtract 40 from both sides making it 2x=50 and then divide by 2 on both sides which leaves you with x=25.

Line t has an equation of y = -8x + 7. Line u includes the point (-1, 7) and is parallel to line
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

y = -8x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

7 = -8 (-1) + b   Substitute in points for x and y. Substitute -8 for m (parallel)

7 = 8 + b

-1 = b

Inequality<br><br> Show your step by step solution to this.<br><br> 5-2x&gt;17
bonufazy [111]

<u><em>Answer: x<-6 *The answer should be the negative sign.*</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

subtraction property of equality is subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation does not change the equation.

subtract 5 both sides of an equation.

5-2x-5>17-5

simplify.

-2x>12

multiply by -1 both sides of an equation.

(-2x)(-1)<12(-1)

simplify.

2x<-12

divide by 2 both sides of an equation.

2x/2<-12/2

-12/2=-6

12/2=6

6*2=12

12/6=2

x<-6

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!
