Answer:

The phone could be either 24 feet away from them or 70 feet away from them because the person that lost the phone could be on the other side of the cell phone tower

The closest is 47-23=24.   The phone P is somewhere on the circle of radius 47 centered at the tower T.  If the human H is on the radius PT, that's the closest case, just walk the rest of the way along PT to P.

Answer: closest 24 feet

The farthest is 47+23 = 70.   That's when H is on the diameter that includes PT but not on the segment PT itself.

Answer: farthest 70 feet

Last year, the volleyball team paid $5 pair for socks and $17 per pair for shorts on a total purchase of $315. This year they sp
vivado [14]

Answer:

Option E is correct.

12 pairs of socks and 15 pairs of shorts did team buy each year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pairs of socks be x and the number pairs of shorts be y.

As per the statement:

Last year, the volleyball team paid $5 pair for socks and $17 per pair for shorts on a total purchase of $315.

⇒5x+17y = 315                   .....[1]

It is also given that: This year they spent $342 to buy the same number of socks and shorts, because the socks now cost $6 a pair and the shorts cost $18.

⇒6x + 18y = 342                   .....[2]

Multiply equation [1] by 6 both sides we get;

30x+102y = 1890                 .......[3]

Multiply equation [2] by 5 both sides we get;

30x +90y = 1710                   .....[4]

Subtract equation [4] from [3] we get;

12y =180

Divide both sides by 168 we get;

y = 15

Substitute the given values of y =15 in [1] we get;

5x+17(15) = 315

5x + 255 = 315

Subtract 255 from both sides we get;

5x = 60

Divide both sides by 5 we get;

x = 12

Therefore, 12 pairs of socks and 15 pairs of shorts did team buy each year.
