Call the notebooks x, and the pencils y. 
<span>3x + 4y = $8.50 and 5x + 8y = $14.50 </span>
<span>Then just solve as simultaneous equations: </span>
<span>3x + 4y = $8.50 </span>
<span>5x + 8y = $14.50 </span>

<span>5(3x + 4y = 8.5) </span>
<span>3(5x + 8y = 14.5) </span>

<span>15x + 20y = 42.5 </span>
<span>15x + 24y = 43.5 </span>

<span>Think: DASS (Different Add, Similar Subtract). 15x appears in both equations so subtract one equation from the other. Eassier to subtract (15x + 20y = 42.5) from (15x + 24y = 43.5) </span>

<span>(15x + 24y = 43.5) - (15x + 20y = 42.5) = (4y = 1) which means y = 0.25. </span>

<span>Then substitue into equation : </span>
<span>15x + 20y = 42.5 </span>
<span>15x + 5 + 42.5 </span>
<span>15x = 42.5 - 5 = 37.5 </span>
<span>15x = 37.5 </span>
<span>x = 2.5 </span>

<span>15x + 24y = 43.5 </span>
<span>15(2.5) + 24(0.25) </span>
<span>37.5 + 6 = 43.5 </span>

<span>So x (notebooks) are 2.5 ($2.50) each and y (pencils) are 0.25 ($0.25) each.</span>

Answer: For the cirlces since I already answered the triangles

1.  Area:660.519855417

   Circumference:91.1061869541

2. Area: 572.555261117

    Circumference:84.8230016469

3. Area:283.528736986

    Circumference:59.6902604182

4. Area:1017.87601976

    Circumference:113.097335529

5. Area: 63.6172512352

    Circumference: 28.2743338823

6. Area:380.132711084

    Circumference:69.115038379

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a circle is π*r^2, r being the radius or the half line in the circle, and the formula for the circumference is   π*r*2, or  π*d, or the diameter which is the line that goes all the way through like number 5. The radius is half the diameter.

Which of the following graphs represents the equation y+2=3(x-1)
Arturiano [62]

For this case we have the following equation, in a linear way:

y + 2 = 3 (x-1)

This expression can be written in the form y = mx + b

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the cut point with the y axis.

Rewriting the given expression we have:

y + 2 = 3x-3\\y = 3x-3-2\\y = 3x-5

Thus, the slope is 3 and the cut point is -5.

To graph, we must find two points through which the line passes, so, we perform the following steps:

Step 1:

We do x = 0

y = 3 (0) -5\\y = 0-5\\y = -5

Thus, the point (x1, y1) = (0, -5)

Step 2:

We doy = 0

0 = 3x-5\\5 = 3x

x =\frac{5}{3}

Thus, the point (x2, y2) = (\frac{5}{3},0)

Question 7 of 10 Which system of inequalities is graphed below? 10 -10 -8- 8 10 OA. y &gt; X - 4 y &lt; x +6 OB. VS X - 4 y &lt;
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Because in both graphs the shaded region is above the curve, the correct option is C.

<h3>Which pair of inequalities is graphed?</h3>

On the graph we can see two parabolas, such that the y-intercepts of these are:

y = 6

y = -4

So we just need to find the pair of options with these y-intercepts, and noticing that for both cases, we must have:

y > parabola.

Because both shaded regions are above the parabolas.

The only option that meets these requirements is option C. Where there is a mistake, as you can see both curves have dashed lines, and always when we have dashed lines we should use the symbols > or <, while in that option we have a ≥ symbol
