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.

Find the measures of ∠B and ∠C. PLEASE HELP!!

BartSMP [9]

It's an isosceles triangle, therefore m∠B = m∠C.

We have the equation:

2x + 10 = 3x - 5 <em>subtract 10 from both sides</em>

2x = 3x - 15 <em>subtract 3x from both sides</em>

-x = -15 <em>change the signs</em>

x = 15

m∠B = (2x + 10)°

m∠B = (2 · 15 + 10)° = (30 + 10)° = 40°

We know, the sum of measures of a tringle is equal 180°.

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

m∠B = m∠C = 40°

<h3>Answer: ∠B = 40° and ∠C = 40°</h3>

Answer:

a) $y(t) = \sqrt{2t + 1 }$

b) 1.5 hours after thickness will be 2 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{1}{y} \\ \\ ydy = dt \\ \\ integrating \: both \: sides \\ \\ \int y \: dy = \int 1 \: dt \\ \\ \frac{ {y}^{2} }{2} = t + c \\ \\ {y}^{2} = 2t + 2c \\ \\ y (t)= \sqrt{2t + 2c} ...(1) \\ \\ a) \: \: \: plug \: t = 0 \: in \: (1) \\ \\ y (0)= \sqrt{2(0) +2 c} \\ \\ y (0)= \sqrt{0 +2 c} \\ \\ 1 = \sqrt{2c} \: \: ( \because \: y (0)=1) \\ \\ 2c = 1 \: \implies \: c = \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ plug \: c = \frac{1}{2} \: in \: (1) \\ \\ y(t) = \sqrt{2t + 2 \times \frac{1}{2} } \\ \\ \huge \: \red {y(t) = \sqrt{2t + 1 } } \\ \\b) \: \: plug \: y(t) = 2 \: in \: above \: equation \\ \\ 2 = \sqrt{2t + 1} \\ \\ 4 = 2t + 1 \: \\ (squaring \: both \: sides) \\ \\ 4 - 1 = 2t \\ \\ 2t = 3 \\ \\ t = \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ t = 1.5 \: hours \\$

Solve -8/5 x - 6 = -54

Musya8 [376]

The equation is false so no solution.

Simplify 8/5 * -6 to -48/5

Move the negative sign to the left

Simplify brackets

Since 48/5 = -54 its false so no answer
