Let us assume charge for a hardcover book = $ h

And charge for a paperback = $ p.

Adam sold 4 hardcover books and 10 paperbacks and earned $64.

So, we can setup an equation by using above statement.

4h + 10p = 64        -------------equation(1)

Barb sold 5 hardcover books and 7 paperbacks and made $58.

So, we can setup another equation by using above statement.

5h + 7p = 58         -------------equation(2)

Let us solve equation(1) and eqation (2) by elimination method.

Multiplying first equation by -5 and second equation by 4 and adding, we get

-20h -50p = -320

20h +28p =  232

___________________

    -22p = -88

Dividing both sides by -22, we get

-22p/-22 = -88/-22

p=4.

Plugging p=4 in first equation.

4h + 10(4) = 64

4h +40 =64

Subtracting 40 from both sides, we get

4h = 24.

Dividing both sides by 4, we get

4h/4 = 24/4

h=6.

Therefore, they charge $6 for a hardcover and $4 for a paperback.

F(n+1)=f(n)-3 f(1)=15
Trava [24]

Answer:

f(n+1) = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

  • We know that f(1) = 15
  • So we can substitute this for f(n)-3
  • With this:
  1. f(n+1) = f(1) -3
  2. f(n+1) = 15-2
  3. f(n+1) = 13

Find c.
Anika [276]

Answer:

9.7cm

Step-by-step explanation

According to the sine rule;

a/sinA = c/sinC

8/sin55 = c/sin82

Cross multiply

csin55 = 8sin82

c(0.8192) = 8(0.9903)

c = 8(0.9903)/0.8192

c = 7.9221/0.8192

c = 9.67

Hence the value of c to the nearest tenth is 9.7cm
