Answer:

x+y=7; 2.5x+3.5y=21.5
(x, y) = (3, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps you want a system of equations and their solution.

You have defined the variables, so you just need to write the relationships.

x + y = 7 . . . . we assume one order per person

2.50x + 3.50y = 21.50 . . . . we assume Ahmed collected just enough

Multiplying the first equation by 2.5 and subtracting that from the second equation, we get ...

(2.50x +3.50y) -2.5(x +y) = (21.50) -2.5(7)

y = 4

x = 7 -4 = 3

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer: Equation: 0.5*30*b = 210

Base length: 14

Step-by-step explanation: The formula of the area of a triangle is 1/2*b*h, so we can use that and the information given to make a formula then solve.

Find the value of x and the value of y

serg [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use SOH CAH TOA to recall how the trig functions fit on a triangle

SOH: Sin(Ф)= Opp / Hyp

CAH: Cos(Ф)= Adj / Hyp

TOA: Tan(Ф) = Opp / Adj

use Cos for y .... b/c we see that function above has all the pieces we are going to work with

use Sin for x .. for the same reason above

Cos(30) = y / 4 $\sqrt{2}$

4 $\sqrt{2}$ Cos(30) = y

4 $\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{3}$ /2 = y

2 $\sqrt{6}$ = y

leave the answer for y like that.. it's in 'exact" form

now for x

Sin(30) = x / 4 $\sqrt{2}$

4 $\sqrt{2}$ Sin(30) = x

4 $\sqrt{2}$ * 1/2 = x

2 $\sqrt{2}$ = x

and leave your answer for x like that as it's in it's exact form. :)

oh and I see the answer in the list.. do you? :)
