We can use elimination for these set of systems.
First, we need to set up our variables.
Belts=b
Hats=h
Now, the situation is 6 belts and 8 hats for $140. The situation after is 9 belts and 6 hats for $132.
Let’s set up our system of equations.
6b+8h=140
9b+6h=132
We need to eliminate a variable. Since b has coefficients of 6 and 9, we can easily eliminate b by multiplying the top equation by 3 and the bottom by -2.
18b+24h=420
-18b-12h=-264
Now let’s add.
12h=156
Let’s divide to get h by itself.
156/12=13=h
So a hat costs $13. We need to put in 13 for one of the equations so we can find the cost of a belt.
9b+6(13)=132
9b+78=132
We need b by itself.
9b=54
54/9=6
Belts are $6
We can also use the first equation to check our answers.
6(6)+8(13)
36+104
140.
So, the price of a belt is $6 while the price of a hat is $13.

Reil [10]
Hello,

Let's r the ration

We suppose x ≠0

x=r*(x-2)==>r=x/(x-2)

x+3=r*x==> (x+3)/x=x/(x-2)==>(x+3)(x-2)=x²
==>x²+3x-2x-6=x² ==>x-6=0==>x=6

x-2=6-4=4
x=6
x+3=6+3=9
6=4*3/2
9=6*3/2

Ration 3/2
First term: 4

The probability that a dancer likes ballet is .35. The probability that the dancer likes tap is .45. The probability that the da
Tom [10]

It is given the probability that a dancer like ballet is 0.35

So, P(B) = 0.35

It is given the probability that a dancer like tap is 0.45

So, P(T)= 0.45

The probability that he likes both ballet and tap is 0.30

So, P(B\cap T)=0.30

the probability that the dancer likes ballet if we know she likes tap. This is the case of conditional probability.

So, P(B/T)=\frac{P(B\cap T)}{P(T)}

P(B/T)=\frac{0.30}{0.45}

= 0.666

= 0.67

Therefore, the probability that the dancer likes ballet if we know she likes tap is 0.67.

Option 3 is the correct answer.
