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

In circle pp, ad¯¯¯¯¯ad¯ is a diameter and bc¯¯¯¯¯bc¯ is perpendicular to ad¯¯¯¯¯ad¯ at ee. if pd=7pd=7 and ae=4ae=4, find cece.
kvv77 [185]
See the attached figure.

<span>ad is a diameter of the circle with center p
</span>
∵ pd = radius = 7 ⇒⇒⇒ ∴ ad = 2 * radius  = 2 * 7 = 14
∵ ae = 4 ⇒⇒⇒ ∴ ed = ad - ae = 14 - 4 = 10
∵ ad is a diameter
Δ acd is a triangle drawn in a half circle
∴ Δ acd is a right triangle at c
∵ bc ⊥ ad at point e
By applying euclid's theorem inside Δ acd
∴ ce² = ae * ed
∴ ce² = 4 * 10 = 40
∴ ce = √40 = 2√10 ≈ 6.325
