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.

Write each rate as a unit rate. $2 for 5 cans of soup.
Len [333]
If you would like to write each rate as a unit rate, you can do this using the following steps:

$2 ... 5 cans of a soup
$1 ... x cans of a soup = ? 

2 * x = 5 * 1
2 * x = 5
x = 5 / 2
x = 2.5 cans of a soup per $1

$2 ... 5 cans of a soup
$x = ? ... 1 can of a soup

2 * 1 = 5 * x
2 = 5 * x
x = 2 / 5 
x = $0.4 per 1 can of a soup

In ΔEFG , what is the approximate length of EF if the measure of angle G is 50° and FG is 10 cm?
swat32
Hey again, you can use trigonometric ratios for this one. You are trying to find the side length opposite of angle G, when you have the adjacent side length value known. You can use TOA, or tan((opposite/adjacent)) . Tan(50) = x/10 

X=  11.92 cm
