Answer:

s = -4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

14s + 10 = 6s - 26

Subtract 6s from each side

14s -6s +10 = 6s -6s -26

8s +10 = -26

Subtract 10 from each side

8s +10-10 = -26 -10

8s = -36

Divide by 8

8s/8s = -36/8

s = -36/8

Divide the top and bottom by 4

s = -9/2

s = -4.5

What are the coordinates of the point obtained if the point A=(3,7) is rotated 180 degrees about the origin?

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

B. (-3, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Anytime you rotate a number 180° about the origin, the numbers in the coordinates become their opposites.

-3 is the opposite of 3 and -7 is the opposite of 7.

Therefore, your new coordinates are (-3, -7)

(x,y) becomes (-x,-y)

The drama club sold bags of candy and cookies to raise money for the spring show. Bags of candy cost $5.50 and bags of cookies c

vaieri [72.5K]

Let's assume

the number of bags of candy =x

the number of bags of cookies =y

There were 5 more bags of cookies sold than candy

so, we get

$y=x+5$

Bags of candy cost $5.50

so, total cost of candy is

$=5.50x$

bags of cookies cost $3.50

so, total cost of cookies is

$=3.50y$

so,

total cost = (total cost of candy)+(total cost of cookies)

we get

total cost =5.50x+3.50y

so, we can plug

$5.50x+3.50y=53.50$

now, we can plug y

$5.50x+3.50(x+5)=53.50$

$5.5x\cdot \:10+3.5\left(x+5\right)\cdot \:10=53.5\cdot \:10$

$55x+35\left(x+5\right)=535$

$55x+35x+175=535$

$90x+175=535$

$90x+175-175=535-175$

$90x=360$

$x=4$

now, we can find y

$y=x+5$

$y=4+5$

$y=9$

so,

the number of bags of candy =4

the number of bags of cookies =9............Answer
