Answer:

34 = 2A + 1B + 4C

35 = 3A + 2B+ 2C

49 = 5A + 3B+ 2C

Pairs the 1st and 2nd equation, then eliminates C:

34 = 2A + 1B + 4C

35 = 3A + 2B + 2C

34   =  2A  +  1B + 4C

-70 = -6A + -4B + -4C  <---- multiplies 2nd equation by -2

Adds them together

-36 = -4A + -3B

36 = 4A + 3B  <----- please label this equation ALPHA

Next, pairs the 2nd and 3rd equations, and eliminates C:

35 = 3A + 2B+ 2C

49 = 5A + 3B+ 2C

Subtracts the top equation from the bottom:

49-35 = 5a-3a + 3b-2b + 2c-2c

14 = 2a + b <--- please label this equation BETA

ALPHA: 36 = 4A + 3B

BETA:   14 = 2a + b

Solves the 2x2 system by substitution:

BETA: 14 - 2a = b <---- solves equation BETA for b

Substitutes into equation ALPHA:

36 = 4a + 3(14 - 2a)

36 = 4a + 42 - 6a

36 = 42 - 2a

-6 = -2a

a=3

b = 14 - 2a = 14 - 2(3) = 14 - 6 = 8

34 = 2a + b+ 4c

34 = 2(3)+ 8 + 4c

34 = 6+8 + 4c

34 = 14 + 4c

20 = 4c

c=5

1 pound of apples cost $3

1 pound of berries cost $8

1 pound of cherries cost $5

\bf \left( \cfrac{2}{3} \right)^3\cdot \left( \cfrac{3}{5} \right)^3\implies \cfrac{2^3}{\underline{3^3}}\cdot \cfrac{\underline{3^3}}{5^3}\implies \cfrac{2^3}{5^3}\implies \cfrac{8}{125}

I need your help please!!!

In order to find the area of the semicircle, or the shaded region, we just have to find the area of the entire circle and divide it by 2. The formula for the area of a circle is \pi r^{2}. With the given diameter of 12, we can deduce that the radius is 6.

Area of Semicircle = (\pi  6^{2}/2)
Area of Semicircle = (3.14 x 36/2)
Area of Semicircle = (3.14 x 18)
Area of Semicircle = 56.52in.^{2}

Hope this helps!
