<h3>Given</h3>

5 movies and 2 video games rent for $26
3 movies and 8 video games rent for $53

<h3>Find</h3>

the rental cost of each

<h3>Solution</h3>

Let m and v represent the rental cost of a movie and a video game, respectively. The given information can be expressed in two equations:

... 5m +2v = 26

... 3m +8v = 53

Using Cramer's rule, we can find the solution to be

... m = (2·53 -8·26)/(2·3-8·5) = -102/-34 = 3

... v = (26·3-53·5)/-34 = 5.50

The rental cost for each movie is $3; for each video game is $5.50.

_____

The Vedic math variation of Cramer's Rule tells you the solution to

ax+by=c
dx+ey=f

is ...

x=(bf-ec)/(bd-ea)
y=(cd-fa)/(bd-ea)

Answer:

$y = \frac{1}{5}x +\frac{13}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,3)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (7,4)$

Required

Complete the equation y - 4.....

First, we need to determine the slope as follows:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{4 - 3}{7 - 2}$

$m = \frac{1}{5}$

The equation is then calculated as thus:

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

This gives:

$y - 4 = \frac{1}{5}(x -7)$

Open bracket

$y - 4 = \frac{1}{5}x -\frac{7}{5}$

Add 4 to both sides

$y - 4 +4= \frac{1}{5}x -\frac{7}{5} + 4$

$y = \frac{1}{5}x -\frac{7}{5} + 4$

$y = \frac{1}{5}x +\frac{-7+20}{5}$

$y = \frac{1}{5}x +\frac{13}{5}$

(FIRST PERSON TO ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST!!!) A student earned $2500.75 at his summer job making $12.50 per hour. Let h represent

laiz [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

$12.50 \space\ h = 2500.75$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know from the question that the student earned $12.50 <em>per hour</em>.

Using this information, we can say that if the student worked for <em>h </em>hours, they would make a total of 12.50 × <em>h </em>dollars.

We also know that the total money they earned is $2500.75.

∴ Therefore, we can set up the following equation:

$\boxed {12.50 \times h = 2500.75}$

From here, if we want to, we can find the number of hours worked by simply making <em>h</em> the subject of the equation and evaluating:

<em>h </em>=<em> </em> $\frac{2500.75}{12.50}$

= 200.6 hours

Forces of 9 lbs and 13 lbs act at a 38º angle to each other. Find the magnitude of the resultant force and the angle that the re

fiasKO [112]

Answer: $R=20.84\ lb\quad 22.57^{\circ},15.43^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Two forces of 9 and 13 lbs acts $38^{\circ}$ angle to each other

The resultant of the two forces is given by

$\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{a^2+b^2+2ab\cos \theta}$

Insert the values

$\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{9^2+13^2+2(9)(13)\cos 38^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{81+169+184.394}\\\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{434.394}\\\Rightarrow R=20.84\ lb$

Resultant makes an angle of

$\Rightarrow \alpha=\tan^{-1}\left( \dfrac{b\sin \theta}{a+b\cos \theta}\right)\\\\\text{Considering 9 lb force along the x-axis}\\\\\Rightarrow \alpha =\tan^{-1}\left( \dfrac{13\sin 38^{\circ}}{9+13\cos 38^{\circ}}\right)\\\\\Rightarrow \alpha =\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{8}{19.244})\\\\\Rightarrow \alpha=22.57^{\circ}$

So, the resultant makes an angle of $22.57^{\circ}$ with 9 lb force

Angle made with 13 lb force is $38^{\circ}-22.57^{\circ}=15.43^{\circ}$
