Answer:

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 4.25

16.90x + 4y = 36.35

1. The solution to the equation represent number of yards of silk and number of yards of cotton bought.

2.

x + y = 4.25 (1)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Multiply (1) by 4

4x + 4y = 17 (3)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Subtract (3) from (2)

16.90x - 4x = 36.35 - 17

12.90x = 19.35

Divide both sides by 12.90

x = 19.35 / 12.90

= 1.5

x = 1.5 yards

Substitute x = 1.5 yards into (1)

x + y = 4.25

1.5 + y = 4.25

y = 4.25 - 1.5

= 2.75

y = 2.75 yards

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

A rectangle has an area of 900square inches. The length of the rectangle is 2.25 times the width.Find the dimensions
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Length = 45 inches and Width = 20 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be w.

Length(l)=2.25w

Area = 900 in^2

The formula for the area of a rectangle is Area = length * width

So substituting our values we get:

A=2.25w*w\\900=2.25w*w\\2.25w^2=900\\w^2=\frac{900}{2.25} \\w^2=400\\w=\sqrt{400} \\w=20

So we get width = 20 inches

Length = 2.25w

so Length= 2.25*20

=45 inches

Shannon says,"My apartment is a prime number." Which could be Shannon's apartment number? A 115 B 273 C 317 D414
g100num [7]
The answer is C. Since 414 is an even number, it is divisible by 2. Since 115 ends in 5, it is divisible by 5. And 273 is divisible by 3 (if you add all the digits and that number is divisible by 3, so it the originals. 2+7+3=12 12/3=4)
