For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
 x: price of fishing reels
 y: price of fishing rods
 We write the system of equations:
 2x + 5y = 243
 8x + 6y = 538
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 44 $
 y = $ 31
 Answer:
 
the price of each item is:
 
x = 44 $
 
y = $ 31

To answer this, you can set up a system of equations.  Solve for one of the variables and substitute this new equation into the 2nd equation.

2x + 5y = 243 - I'll solve this one for x.
8x + 6y = 538

2x + 5y = 243
2x = 243 - 5y
2          2
x = 121.5 - 2.5y ;  substitute this in for x in the second equation

8x + 6y = 538
8 (121.5 - 2.5y) + 6y = 538
972 - 20y + 6y = 538
972 - 14y = 538
-972            -972
-14y = -434
-14       -14
y = 31

<u><em>The cost of a rod (y) is $31.  </em></u>

x = 121.5 - 2.5y
x = 121.5 - 2.5 x 31
x = 44

<em><u>The cost of a reel(x) is $44.</u></em>

What is the y=Mx+b of this equation
Monica [59]

Answer:

y =  - 6x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is where the line itersects the y-axis, which is the dark vertical line. This is -8 represented as the constant in the equation.

To find the slope, find the rise over run. Every time the line goes over 1 it goes down 6, so the slope would be -6.

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

7190 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Para recortar algumas figuras geométricas, um aluno utilizou uma cartolina de 1 m x 0,8m.

Passo 1

Determine a área de todo o papelão

= Temos dimensões = 1mx0,8m

Área = Comprimento × Largura

= 0,8m²

Nós convertemos para cm²

1 m² = 10.000 cm²

0,8m² = x cm²

Multiplicação cruzada

0,8m² × 10.000 cm² / 1 m²

= 8000 cm²

Passo 2

Sabendo que recortou 2 triângulos, ambos com 20cm de base e 30cm de altura

Encontramos a área de um triângulo

= 1/2 × base × altura

= 1/2 × 20 × 30

= 300cm²

Ele cortou 2 triângulos Portanto, o são dos dois triângulos = 300cm² × 2

= 600cm²

etapa 3

Ele também cortou 2 trapézios ambos com bases de 10cm e 20cm e altura de 7cm.

A área de um trapézio =

1/2 (a + b) h

= 1/2 (10cm + 20cm) × 7cm

= 1/2 × 30 × 7

= 105 cm²

Ele cortou dois trapézios, portanto

A área dos dois trapézios do corte = 105cm² × 2

= 210 cm²

Passo 4

A área total do papelão que foi cortado = 600cm² + 210cm²

= 810 cm²

Etapa 5

Determine em cm² quanto de papelão sobrou.

Isso é calculado como:

Área total do papelão - Área total que foi cortada

= 8000 cm² - 810 cm²

= 7190 cm²
