Answer:

Notebook is $4

Thumb drive is $23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let notebooks be x and thumb drives be y

6x+7y=$185

14x+12y=$332

These two are simultaneous equation. Multiplying the first equation by 7 and second by 3 we obtain

42x+49y=$1295

42x+36y=$996

Subtracting the third equation from the fourth

996-1295=-$299

(36-49)y=-23y

-23y=-$299

y=$299/13=$23

To get the value of x, we substitute the value of y into the first equation

6x+(7*23)=$185

6x=$185-$161

6x=$24

x=$4

Therefore, price of notebook is $4, price of thumb drive is $23

Theorem: A line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two proportionately.
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Segment BF = 16 is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, DE is parallel to BC, so DE will divide AB and AC proportionally.

Hence,

\frac{AE}{EC}  = \frac{AD}{DB}

⇒  \frac{12}{18}  = \frac{6}{DB} 

{Since, given that AE = 12, EC = 18 and AD = 6}

⇒ BD = 9.

Again, since, EF is parallel to AB, so EF will divide BC and AC proportionally.

Hence, \frac{CE}{AE}  = \frac{FC}{BF}

⇒ \frac{18}{12}  = \frac{24}{BF}   

{Since, given that AE = 12, EC = 18 and FC= 24}

⇒ BF = 16.

Therefore, segment BF = 16 is true. (Answer)

Plz help me solve these problems

Answer: <em><u>CAN YOU PLS MARK AS BRAINLIEST??</u></em>

a.x=11/4

b.x=6

c.x=21/2

d.x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

-2+3x+x=9-x

-2+3x+x=9

4x=9+2

4x=11

x=11/4

when you move a numerator to the other side it becomes a denominator

x+2=3/4x6

x+2=3/24

x=8-2

x=6

5-2x-12=14

2x=14-5+12

2x=21

x=21/2

1/2x=-3-1/2x+4-1

1/2x+1/2x=-3+4-1

x=0
