In a certain clothing store, 6 shirts and 3 ties cost $79.50, and 3 shirts and 2 ties cost $41. Determine the cost of each tie.

1 answer:

4 0

6x + 3y = 79.5
3x + 2y = 41 y = -3/2x + 41/2 y = -1.5x + 20.5

6x + 3(-1.5x + 20.5) = 79.5
6x - 4.5x + 61.5 = 79.5
1.5x + 61.5 = 79.5
1.5x = 18
x = 12

Each shirt costs $12.
Now insert that number into the x to find the cost of each tie.

3(12) + 2y = 41
36 + 2y = 41
2y = 5
y = 2.5

Each tie costs $2.50.

5,687.3 mi to the nearest mile

beks73 [17]

5687.3 to the nearest mile is 5,687 miles

Because the number directly to the right of ur 7 is a 3....and since it is below 5, ur whole number stays the same....if that number would have been a 5 or above, u would have rounded ur whole number up 1 making it 5688.
