Answer:

paperbacks are $8.99; hardcover books are $19.99.

Step-by-step explanation:

Letting p and h represent the costs of paperback and hardcover books, respsectively, we can write two equations for the cost of a book purchase based on the problem statement.

... 5p +4h = 124.91

... 3p +2h = 66.95

If we subtract the first equation from twice the second, we can find the cost of a paperback.

... 2(3p +2h) -(5p +4h) = 2(66.95) -124.91

... p = 8.99 . . . . . simplify

Using this value in the second equation gives ...

... 3·8.99 +2h = 66.95

... 2h = 39.98 . . . . . subtract 26.97

... h = 19.99 . . . . . . . divide by 2

Paperbacks are $8.99; hardcovers, $19.99.

SOMEONE HELPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!
Finger [1]

Answer:

104 yd^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the 2 circles = 2 * π r^2

=  2 * π * 4^2

= 32 π yd^2.

Area of the side of the cylinder = 2 π r h

= 2  π * 4 * 9

= 72 π yd^2.

Total surface area = 32 + 72

= 104 yd^2.

Use the following for long division x^2+3x+1sqrt 3x^4+7x^3+2x^2+13x+5
goldenfox [79]
In plain text, it is appropriate to express the division using a division bar (/) and parentheses around the numerator and denominator:
  (3x^4 +7x^3 +2x^2 +13x +5)/(x^2 +3x +1)

It is best to reserve the square root symbol (√) for an actual square root.

Your quotient is
  3x^2 -2x +5
