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

Look at the graph shown below:
ElenaW [278]
So.. take a peek at the picture... let's get two points from it, hmm say 0,4 notice it touches the y-axis there, and say hmmm -4, 1, almost at the bottom of the line

\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%   (a,b)
&({{ 0}}\quad ,&{{ 4}})\quad 
%   (c,d)
&({{ -4}}\quad ,&{{ 1}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{1-4}{-4-0}

\bf y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{plug in the values for }
\begin{cases}
y_1=4\\
x_1=0\\
m=\boxed{?}
\end{cases}\\
\textit{and solve for "y"}
\end{array}\\
\left. \qquad   \right. \uparrow\\
\textit{point-slope form}

once you get the slope and solve for "y", that'd be the equation of the line.

Answer:

\boxed{

\boxed{

Step-by-step explanation:

A) If AB is a diameter, Then ACB is a 90 degrees angle because In a semi-circle (AB is a diameter which divides the circle into 2 equal parts), the angle opposite to the diameter is of 90 degrees.

So, <ACB = 90 degrees

Then <a = 180-90-28

=> <a = 62 degrees

B) The opposite interior angles of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle add up to 180 degrees.

So,

=> <a + <b = 180

=> <b = 180-62

=> <b = 118 degrees
