Answer: It depends on which variable you're solving for.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for b: b=7/8mx + -1/8xy
Solving for m: m=xy+8b
______
7x
Solving for x: x=-8b
___
-7m+y
Solving for y: y=7mx-8b
______
x
Answer: it cost a customer $7.25 to buy five tulips and $10.5 to buy six roses.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of 1 tulip.
Let y represent the cost of 1 rose.
The price of each tulip is the same and the price of each roses the same. One customer bought seven tulips and nine roses for $25.90. This means that
7x + 9y = 25.9 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1
Another customer bought for four tulips and eight roses for $19.80. This means that
4x + 8y = 19.8- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2
Multiplying equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by 7, it becomes
28x + 36y = 103.6
28x + 56y = 138.6
Subtracting, it becomes
- 20y = - 35
y = - 35/ - 20
y = 1.75
Substituting y = 1.75 into equation 2, it becomes
4x + 8 × 1.75 = 19.8
4x + 14 = 19.8
4x = 19.8 - 14 = 5.8
x = 5.8/4
x = 1.45
The cost of 5 tulips would be
1.45 × 5 = $7.25
The cost of 6 roses would be
1.75 × 6 = $10.5
Answer:
Starting from the one on the left.
Upper left:
145 degrees
Down left:
35 degrees
Down right:
145 degrees.
-------------
Now for the right image.
Upper left:
153 degrees
Down left:
27 degrees
Down right:
153 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Apply the same steps for the second image as for the first.
One thing to keep in mind is that a flat line (horizontal or vertical), as an angle of 180 degrees.
And another useful reminder is that opposed angles have the same degree.
Starting from the one on the left.
Upper left:
180 - 35 = 145 degree
Down left:
since it is opposed to the upper right angle which is 35 degrees this one is also equal to 35 degrees.
Down right:
since it is opposed to the upper left angle which is 145 degrees this one is also equal to 145 degrees.
You can always double check by making sure one flat side (left or right or up or down), is equal to 180 degrees.
example: on the right image, for the down part, I wrote as answers 27 degrees (for down left because it is opposed to upper right) and 153 degrees (for down right because it is opposed to upper left) => 153 + 27 = 180 degrees
