Answer:

Declan bought 3 books and 4 magazines

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of books bought be x

Let number of magazines bought be y

Total number of books and magazines bought = x + y = 7

∴ x + y = 7  - - - - - (1)

x = 7 - y     - - - - - (2)

we are also told that total amount spent = $33; when price per book = $5; and price per magazine = $4.5

∴ 5(x) + 4.5(y) = 33 - - - - - - - (3)

substituting equation 2 ( x = 7 - y ) into equation 3:

5(x) + 4.5(y) = 33

= 5 (7 - y) + 4.5(y) = 33

35 - 5y + 4.5y = 33

35 -0.5y = 33

35 = 33 + 0.5y

35 - 33 = 0.5y

0.5y = 2

y = 2 ÷ 0.5 = 4

∴ y = 4

solving for x, by putting the value of y into equation 2:

x = 7 - y     - - - - (2)

x = 7 - 4 = 3

∴ x = 3

Therefore, Declan bought 3 books and 4 magazines.

Which equation would you use to find how high the bird is flying?
damaskus [11]

Answer:

The first one

Step-by-step explanation:

An easy way is SOH CAH TOA

SOH is that you use sine if you there is the opposite (in this case the question mark) and hypotenuse (the diagonal line)

CAH is that you use cosine for the adjacent side (1100) and the hypotenuse.

TOA is using tangent for the opposite and adjacent side.

To fine the question mark, you would use tangent. And plug in the given (1100 for the adjacent). So tan45 = x/1100.

If you need more help or clarification, let me know!

Given:

The equation is

\left(z+\dfrac{6}{7}\right)+\dfrac{2}{14}=-1

To find:

The solution of the given equation.

Solution:

We have,

\left(z+\dfrac{6}{7}\right)+\dfrac{2}{14}=-1

It can be written as

\left(z+\dfrac{6}{7}\right)+\dfrac{1}{7}=-1

\left(z+\dfrac{6}{7}\right)=-1-\dfrac{1}{7}

Multiply both sides by 7.

7z+6=-7-1

7z+6=-8

7z=-8-6

7z=-14

Divide both sides by 7.

z=\dfrac{-14}{7}

z=-2

Therefore, the value of z is -2.

Can someone please tell me how to expand and simplify 4(x+1)^2?
siniylev [52]

Expand the binomial first, then distribute the 4:

4 (<em>x</em> + 1)² = 4 (<em>x</em> ² + 2<em>x</em> + 1)

… = 4•<em>x</em> ² + 4•2<em>x</em> + 4•1

… = 4<em>x</em> ² + 8<em>x</em> + 4

Jabian buys pencils as souvenirs from his vacation to give to his friends. He starts with 90 pencils and gives away 15 each hour
Sidana [21]
You'll have to adapt this problem statement to Brainly, as Brainly does not have the Segment Tool available.

"starts with 90 pencils" implies that the y-intercept is (0,90).

"gives away 15 pencils" implies a slope of -15 pencils per unit of time

Thus, the # of pencils Jabian still has is   P(x) = 90 - (15 pencils / time unit)x
