One song download costs $2 and one movie download costs $11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Price of one song download = x

Price of one movie download = y

According to given statement;

8x+9y=115 Eqn 1

15x+9y=129 Eqn 2

Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 2

$(15x+9y)-(8x+9y)=129-115\\15x+9y-8x-9y=14\\7x=14$

Dividing both sides by 7

$\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{14}{7}\\x=2$

Putting x=2 in Eqn 1

$8(2)+9y=115\\16+9y=115\\9y=115-16\\9y=99$

Dividing both sides by 9

$\frac{9y}{9}=\frac{99}{9}\\y=11$

One song download costs $2 and one movie download costs $11.

Answer:

$x=0.75, y=-0.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can add the two equations to eliminate $y$ and solve for $x$ .

$x+y+x-y=0.5+1$

$2x=1.5$

$x=0.75$

Now, we can find for $y$ by using substitution:

$x+y=0.5$ (given)

$0.75+y=0.5$

$y=-0.25$

Hope this helps :)

Find the area of the composite figure.

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Option C, 488 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Determine the area of the rectangle</u>

$A = l * w$

$A = 22\ cm * 17\ cm$

$A = 374\ cm^2$

<u>Step 2: Determine the area of the triangle</u>

$A=\frac{h*b}{2}$

$A=\frac{19\ cm * (22\ cm-10\ cm)}{2}$

$A=\frac{19\ cm * (12\ cm)}{2}$

$A=\frac{228\ cm^2}{2}$

$A=114\ cm^2$

<u>Step 3: Determine the total area</u>

$A_{total} = 374\ cm^2 + 114\ cm^2$

$A_{total} =488\ cm^2$

Answer: Option C, 488 square centimeters
