To solve the problem, what you must do is a system of two equations with two Ingonites that describe the problem.
 Let:
 x = number of shirt buttons.
 y = number of buttons on jackets.
 Writing the system:
 36x + 42y = 842
 6x + 7y = 137
 We observe that the system is linearly dependent, therefore, it can not be solved.
 However, the solution is to solve the system of two equations with two unknowns.
In order to solve it, the system must be linearly independent.

Solution:

Let number of buttons in Shirt = x

And Number of buttons in Jackets = y

36 shirts and 42 jackets contains 842 buttons.

And collection of 6 shirts and 7 jackets contains 137 buttons.

Writing it in terms of equations

→ 36 x + 42 y = 842 -------(1)

→ 6 x + 7 y = 137-----(2) × 6

→ 36 x +42 y = 822  ----(3)

As equation (1) and (3) are such that there x and y coefficient are same , but the constant term on one side of equation are different. It means the two equation have no solution.

I.e → \frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} =\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}  \neq \frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}

So, the two equation have no solution.

It means we can't find number of buttons in jackets and shirts.

-  \frac{1}{4}  =  - 0.25
0
\frac{1}{4}  = 0.25
\frac{1}{2}  = 0.5

Christine and peter earn a combined annual income of $190,500. if christine earns $30,500 per year more than peter, what are the
Lunna [17]

We are given combined annual income of Christine and Peter =$190,500

let annual income of Christine =x

Annual income of Peter =y= 190,500 -x...........(1)

Now Christine earns $30,500 more than Peter

x=y+30,500...............(2)

plugging value of y from equation (1) in (2)

x=190500-x+30500

adding x on left side,

x+x=190500+30500

2x=221000

dividing both sides by 2

x=221000/2

x=110500

Annual income of Christine =x=$110,500

Annual income of Peter =y= 190,500 -x=190500-110500= $80,000

The given table and equation represent the cost for carnival rides.
lozanna [386]

Answer:

The ordered pairs that are presented are (7, 99.5) and (3, 51.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the cost function of the carnival rides as

c=15.5+12f

which is a typical linear expression of the form y=ax+b where here y=c, f=x,  a=12  and  b=15.5. To check if an ordered pair i.e. a point (x,y) , is represented by the table we can simply plug in the equivalent x value in the equation, and check if the result matches the y value.

So, lets assume that all points are given correctly and they are as follow:

A. (7, 99.5)\\B. (75.5, 5)\\C. (3, 51.5)\\D. (123.5, 9)

Now let us check each point with our function as follow:

<u>Point A</u>

(7,99.5)\\\\c=15.5+12(7)\\c=15.5+84\\c=99.5

So point A is part of the equation.

<u>Point B</u>

(75.5,5)\\c=15.5+12(75.5)\\c=15.5+906\\c=921.5

So point B is NOT part of the equation.

<u>Point C</u>

<u />(3,51.5)\\c=15.5+12(3)\\c=15.5+36\\c=51.5<u />

So point C is part of the equation.

<u>Point D</u>

<u />(123.5,9)\\c=15.5+12(123.5)\\c=15.5+1482\\c=1497.5<u />

So point D is NOT part of the equation.
