H=$hand towel, B=$bath towel.
27H+48B=540, 50H+24B=416, so 100H+48B=832;
100H+540-27H=832; 73H=832-540=292, H=292/73=$4.
48B=540-27×4=540-108=432, B=432/48=$9.
Hand towels are $4 each, and bath towels are $9 each.

Answer:

The cost of the hand towel is $4 and the cost of the bath towel is $9 .

Step-by-step explanation

Let us assume that the cost of one hand towel be x .

Let us assume that the cost of one bath towel be y .

As given

Mr. Miller owns two hotels and is ordering towels for the rooms.

He ordered 27 hand towels and 48 bath towels for a bill of $540 for the first hotel.

Equation become

Cost of one hand towels × Order of number of hand towels + Cost of one bath towels × Order of number of bath towels = Total cost

Put all the values in the above

27x + 48y = 540

As given

He ordered 50 hand towels and 24 bath towels for a bill of $416 for the other hotel.

Equation becomes

50x + 24y = 416

Multiply 27x + 48y = 540  by 50

we get

1350x + 2400y = 27000

Multiply 50x + 24y = 416 by 27

1350x + 648y = 11232

Subtracted 1350x + 648y = 11232  from 1350x + 2400y = 27000 .

1350x - 1350x + 2400y - 648y = 27000 - 11232

1752y = 15768

y = \frac{15768}{1752}

y = 9

Put this value in the equation 50x + 24y = 416 .

50x + 24 × 9 = 416

50x + 216 = 416

50x = 200

x = \frac{200}{50}

x = 4

Therefore the cost of the hand towel is $4 and the cost of the bath towel is $9 .

ALGEBRAIC PROOF!!!! PLS HELP!!! The area of a rectangular blanket is 20 square feet. The blanket's length is (2x + 1) ft and the
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

A = LW     formula for area of rectangle

(2x + 1)(2x) = 20      substitute length, width, and area into formula

4x² + 2x - 20 = 0      use the distributive property to multiply out left side

2x² + x - 10 = 0         divide both sides of equation by 2

(2x + 5)(x - 2) = 0        factor out trinomial

2x + 5 = 0  or  x - 2 = 0        use zero product rule to solve for x

2x = -5  or x = 2       subtract 5 from both sides; add 2 to both sides

x = -5/2  or  x = 2

We discard x = -5/2 since it would give negative length and width, and the length and width cannot be negative.

Length: 2x + 1 = 2(2) + 1 = 5

Width: 2x = 2(2) = 4

Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.
