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 .

practice counting in 2's , 5's and 10's, starting on 0. whats patterns do you notice ? can you write sentences to explain these
Mice21 [21]
When you multiply 5 by 1 you get 5. When you multiply 5 by 2 you get 10. If you keep doing this, you get a list of multiples of 5.

5
10
15
20
25
30
35
40
45
50

All of these numbers end in either 5 or 0. We can do the same with 2's and 10's.

2
4
6
8
10
12
14
16
18
20

For all 2's we can see that they are all even and end with an even number (0,2,4,6,8)

10
20
30
40
50
60
70
80
90
100

For 10's we can see that they all end in 0.

Write an equation of the lines passes through (4,1) and is parallel to y= -2x+7
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

y = -2x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallel line has an equation of y = -2x + 7;

And its slope is -2.

The slope of the line that passes through (4,1) is also -2 since parallel lines have the same slope.

Taking another point (x,y) on the line that passes through (4,1):

slope(m) = change in y ÷ change in x

-2 = \frac{y - 1}{x - 4}

Cross multiplying gives;

y - 1 = -2x + 8

y = -2x + 9

Answer:

h(x) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = both of these equations, but really only -6. Plug in 1 to x in the equation and it will equal -6.
