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

Find the value of y so that WX is perpendicular to YZ
Alexxandr [17]

step 1

Find out the slope WX

W(2,-3) and X(-4,9)

m=(9+3)/(-4-2)

m=12/-6

m=-2

step 2

Find out the slope YZ

Y(5,y) and Z(-1,1)

m=(1-y)/(-1-5)

m=(1-y)/-6

m=(y-1)/6

step 3

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular

then

their slopes are negative reciprocal

that means

(y-1)/6=1/2 -----> because the negative reciprocal of -2 is 1/2

solve for y

2y-2=6

2y=6+2

2y=8

<h2>y=4</h2>

A ray of light passing from air through an equilateral glass prism undergoes minimum
Mama L [17]

Answer: 45° and speed of light in prism 2×10⁸m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum deviation of the equilateral glass prism will form 60° angle.

So angle of incidence = 3/4×60

= 3 ×15

= 45°

Minimum deviation = δmin

= 30

After finding the value of μ using prism law

μ = 1.41

Speed of light will be 2×10⁸m/s

Describe the relationship between the terms in each arithmetic sequence. Then write the next three terms in each sequence.
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Answer b)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the sequence 0, 5, 10, 15,...

5 is added to each term in order to get the next one. Therefore the next three terms would be; 20, 25, 30.

This agrees with answer b) in the list of possible answers.
