4t+2c=200
2t+7c=400

I will solve for c in terms of t first
4t+2c=200
2c=200-4t
c=100-2t

Then I will substitute this in for c in the second equation to make it single variable
2t+7c=400
2t+7(100-2t)=400
2t+700-14t=400
300t=12
t=25 
Tables cost $25 each

Plug t back into one of the ORIGINAL equations to find the cost of chairs
4(25)+2c=200
100+2c=200
2c=100
c=50
Chairs cost $50 each

Hope this helps! :)

Patricia purchased x meters of fencing. She originally intended to use all of the fencing to enclose a square region, but later
sergejj [24]

Answer:

  (y^2)/4 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

For a perimeter length of x, the side of a square will be x/4 and its area will be (x/4)^2.

If one side of the square is shortened by y/2 and the adjacent side is lengthened by y/2, then the difference in side lengths will be y. The area of the resulting rectangle will be ...

  (x/4 -y/2)(x/4 +y/2) = (x/4)^2 -(y/2)^2

That is, the difference in area between the square and the rectangle is ...

  (x/4)^2 - ((x/4)^2 -(y/2)^2) = (y/2)^2 = y^2/4

The positive difference between the area of the square region and the area of the rectangular region is y^2/4 square meters.

In the diagram, angle 1 = 4x + 30, and angle 3 = 2x +48.
iragen [17]

Answer:

Since we have the information for Angles 1 and 3, and they are vertical, we can set them equal to each other. Once we have done this we can find the measures of them combined, and subtract it from 360 in order to only have the measure of 2 and its vertical angle. Finally, all we need to do now is divide the remaining measure by 2, and this will give us the measure of angle 2.

Angle 1=Angle 3

4x+30=2x+48

2x+30=48

2x=18

x=9

Angle 1=4(9)+30

Angle 1=36+30

Angle 1=66

Angle 1=Angle 3

Angle 1+ Angle 3=132

360-132=228

228/2=114

Angle 2= 114

Kyla makes a triangular school pennant. The area of the triangle is 180 square inches. The base of the pennant is z inches long.
kykrilka [37]
We can represent the base as z and the height as 2z+6. We are going to use the formula A=1/2*b*h and solve for z
180=1/2*z*(2z+6)
360=2z^2+6z 
0=2z^2+6z-360
0=2(z^2+3z-180)
0=(z+15)(z-12)
So z=-15 and 12 but it must be positive so then the base is equal to 12

When we plug this into 2z+6 we get 30 for the height
2(12)+6=30

Hope this helps
