Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Define number of videos purchased as "n" and number of CD's purchased as "c" then we can equation the total purchases and the costs by:

8 nephews:

n + c = 8

Spent $121.53

14.95*n + 16.88*c = 121.53

Substitute one variable as a function of the other. Preference the simpler equation (n + c = 8)

n = 8 - c

=>

14.95*(8-c) + 16.88c = 121.53

119.60 + 1.93c = 121.53

1.93c = 1.93

c = 1

=>

n = 7

*Check:

14.95*(7) + 16.88*(1) = 121.53

im so sorry if this is wrong :/

Find the altitude of an isosceles triangle with a vertex angle of 70° and a base of 246
Neporo4naja [7]
The base angles are both equal to (180-70) / 2 =  55 degrees

and 1/2 base = 123 

so we have tan 55 =  a / 123  where a = altitude
a = 123 * tan55 =  175.66

An aquarium contained an equal number of horseshoe crabs and sea stars. After 15 horseshoe crabs were removed and 27 sea stars w
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

45 horseshoe crabs and 45 sea stars

Step-by-step explanation:

The aquarium initially contained x crabs and x sea stars.

"After 15 horseshoe crabs and 27 sea stars are removed the ratio of horseshoe crabs to sea stars is 5:3"

(x-15):(x-27) = 5:3

(x-15)/(x-27) = 5/3

3(x-15) = 5(x-27)

3x-45 = 5x-135

90 = 2x

x = 45
