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.

Can somebody help me please ​
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

  • 3n+6 (n = smallest)
  • 3n (n = middle)

Step-by-step explanation:

The usual method for doing this is to let n represent the smallest one. Then the three integers are ...

  n, n+2, and n+4

and their sum is ...

  (n) +(n+2) +(n+4) = 3n+6 . . . . sum of 3 consecutive odd integers (n = smallest)

_____

Personally, for consecutive number problems, I prefer to let the variable represent the average value. If n is the average value of 3 consecutive odd integers, is is the middle integer. Of course, the sum will be 3 times the average:

  (n-2) +(n) +(n+2) = 3n . . . . sum of 3 consecutive odd integers (n = middle one)

We define a bow-tie quadrilateral as a quadrilateral where two sides cross each other. An example of a bow-tie quadrilateral is
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

70/5985

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a quadrilateral needs to have four vertices (or points on the circle). There are always two ways to link the cross — horizontally or vertically. Using my limited knowledge of combinations, we know that choosing four points out of seven equals 35. Multiplying the two ways to connect those lines (again, horizontally and vertically) makes 35*2 = 70 "bow-tie quadrilaterals" that can be formed on the circle using four points. There are 5985 ways four chords can be chosen out of twenty-five chords because C(25,4) equals 5985, so the probability is 70/5985... and then we just need to simplify that fraction.

Find the ordered pairs for x and y intercepts of the equation 3x - 2y =18
My name is Ann [436]
                  
                                                           3x - 2y = 18
Wherever the line crosses the
x-axis, y=0.                                         3x        = 18
                                                             x        =  6
The x-intercept is                                    (6, 0)  .


                                                           3x - 2y = 18
Wherever the line crosses the
y-axis,  x=0.                                            - 2y = 18
                                                                   y = -9
The y-intercept is                                        (0, -9)  .

Jordan saved 4/5 of the amount he needs to buy a $80 video game. If he earns $7.75 per hour by working at a pizza shop, how many
Aleksandr [31]
Amount of money saved by Jordon for the video game = (4/5) * 80
                                                                                        = 4 * 16 dollars
                                                                                         = 64 dollars
So
The amount of money that
Jordan needs to earn more for buying the video game = (80 - 64) dollars
                                                                                       = 16 dollars
Amount earned by Jordan per hour working at a pizza shop = $7.75
Let us assume the number of hours Jordan needs to work to save the rest of the money for the video game = x
Then
7.75x = 16
x = 16/7.75
   =  2.06 hours
So it can be said that Jordan has to work 3 hours to save the rest of the money for the video game. If Jordan works 2 hours then he will be short of the required amount. If Jordan works for 3 hours he will have some excess amount in his hand after saving for the video game.
