Answer:

Each roll of streamers is $2.50 and each package of balloons is $1.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of rolls of streamers and y represent the number of packages of balloons.

3 rolls of streamers, 3x, and 2 packages of balloons, 2y, cost 10.00; this gives us

3x + 2y = 10

2 rolls of streamers, 2x, and 1 package of balloons, 1y, cost 6.25; this gives us

2x + 1y = 6.25

This gives us the system of equations

\left \{ {{3x+2y=10} \atop {2x+1y=6.25}} \right.

To solve this, we will use elimination.  First we will make the coefficient of y the same.  We will do this by multiplying the bottom equation by 2:

\left \{ {{3x+2y=10} \atop {2(2x+1y=6.25)}} \right. \\\\\left \{ {{3x+2y=10} \atop {4x+2y=12.50}} \right.

We will eliminate y by subtracting the bottom equation from the top:

\left \{ {{3x+2y=10} \atop {-(4x+2y=12.5)}} \right. \\\\-1x=-2.5

Divide both sides by -1:

-1x/-1 = -2.5/-1

x = 2.5

Each roll of streamers costs $2.50.

Substituting this back into the second equation, we have

2(2.5) + y = 6.25

5 + y = 6.25

Subtract 5 from each side:

5 + y - 5 = 6.25 - 5

y = 1.25

Each package of balloons costs $1.25.

A basketball team took a total of 100 shots. One player took 70% of all 100 shots, and
NemiM [27]

The player took a total of 70 shots and missed about 28 shots.

<h3>Percentage</h3>

Percentage is used in expressing a fraction number or decimal in fraction of 100. It is expressed using the '%' sign.

Given a total shot of 100, since the player took 70% of the shot, hence:

Total shot taken by the player = 70% of 100 = 0.7 * 100 = 70 shots.

Total shot shot missed = (100% - 60%) of 70 = 40% of 70 = 0.4 * 70 = 28 shots.

The player took a total of 70 shots and missed about 28 shots.

Answer:

The ball throw into the air with an initial velocity of 22 meters per second is 27.4 meters above the ground after 3 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic function h(t) = -4.9t^2 + 22t + 5.5 represents the height of the ball above the ground, h(t), in meters, with respect to time, t, in seconds.

To find h(3), substitute t = 3 into the function expression:

h(3)=-4.9\cdot 3^2+22\cdot 3+5.5\\ \\=-4.9\cdot 9+66+5.5\\ \\=-44.1+71.5\\ \\=27.4

Meaning: the ball throw into the air with an initial velocity of 22 meters per second is 27.4 meters above the ground after 3 seconds.

The area of a rectangle is 99 ft^2, and the length of the rectangle is 7 more than double the width. Find the dimensions of the
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

width =5.5ft

length =18

Step-by-step explanation:

w=x

L=2x+7

area=w*L

99 = x(2x+7)

99=2x^{2} +7x

2x^{2} +7x-99=0

2x^{2} +18x-11x-99=0

2x(x+9)-11(x+9)=0

(2x-11)(x+9)=0

2x-11=0

2x=11

x=11/2

x=5.5

L=2x+7=2*5.5+7=11+7=18
