Answer:

77 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of books sold by Jessica be A and Josh be B.

Cost of one book = $20

Jessica sold 11 times Josh .

That’s A = 11B

Together they sold 84 books.

That’s A + B = 84

We now have two equations ,

Equation 1 : A = 11B

Equation 2: A + B = 84

Substitute 11B for A in equation 2.

We have ,

11B + B = 84

12B = 84

Divide both sides by 12

B = 84/12

B = 7

Josh sold 7 books

Now substitute 7 for B in either of the equations to get A. Using equation 1 , we have

A = 11B

A = 11 x 7

A = 77

Jessica sold 77 books while Josh sold 7

Answer: Jessica sold 77 books. Josh sold 7 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of books that Jessica sold.

Let y represent the number of books that Josh sold.

Together they sold 84 books. This means that

x + y = 84- - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Jessica sold 11 times more books than Josh. This means that

x = 11y

Substituting x = 11y into equation 1, it becomes

11y + y = 84

12y = 84

y = 84/12

y = 7

x = 11y = 11 × 7

x = 77

I need help please and thank you

Well I THINK triangle ABC is just a stretched out version of triangle DEF.

To find the area of a triangle, you multiply base and height, and divide by 2.

Area of DEF is 6, so that means that (4 * x)/2 = 6.

6*2 = 12....

4 * x = 12........

4 * 3 = 12.

x = 3.

Comparing DEF to ABC: ABC's base is 3 times as long as DEF's. So that means the height must be three times as long.

3*3 = 9.

(12 * 9)/2 =54

The data shown on the scatter plot below demonstrates the relationship between the time of day and the total number
viva [34]

Answer:

Good question! The correct answer is a) increases and b) increases.

While the pair of answers a) decreases and b) decreases or the pair a) stays the same and b) stays the same would be technically correct answers, this is the best way of describing the trend of the scatter plot; typically, trends are described by how the dependent or y-variable responds to the independent or x-variable increasing.
