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>

Solve for v pls thanks
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

v = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

8/3v = 48

were going to have to get 3 on the other side, so were going to cancel it out and multipliy it because it is a fraction

now we would have 8v = 48*3

48*3=144

now the equation looks like this 8v = 144

to isolate v we can divide 8 on both sides

which brings us to v = 18

High Hopes^^

Find the derivative of StartFraction d Over dx EndFraction Integral from 0 to x cubed e Superscript negative t Baseline font siz
Valentin [98]

Answer: (a) e ^ -3x (b)e^-3x

Step-by-step explanation:

I suggest the equation is:

d/dx[integral (e^-3t) dt

First we integrate e^-3tdt

Integral(e ^ -3t dt) as shown in attachment and then we differentiate the result as shown in the attachment.

(b) to differentiate the integral let x = t, and substitute into the expression.

Therefore dx = dt

Hence, d/dx[integral (e ^-3x dx)] = e^-3x
