Answer:

Each shirt cost $12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to interpret this question and turn each to an equation, letting shirts represent the letter s and ties represent the letter t.

6 shirts and 3 ties cost $79.50 would be interpreted to 6s+3t=79.5 ,and 3 shirts and 2 ties cost $41 would be interpreted to 3s+2t=41

Hence we have two equations, and we solve them simultaneously.

6s+3t=79.5 (Equation 1)

3s+2t=41 (Equation 2)

We can either use the substitution method or the elimination method but for the sake of this question, we use the Elimination method.

6s+3t=79.5 (Equation 1)

3s+2t=41 (Equation 2)

We multiply equation 1 by 2 and we multiply equation 2 by 3, I'm prefer to eliminate the

2(6s+3t=79.5)

12s+6t=159 Equation 3

3(3s+2t=41)

9s+6t=123 Equation 4

We subtract equation 4 from equation 3.

12s+6t=159

9s+6t=123

12s-9s=3s

6t-6t=0

159-123=36

We therefore have

3s=36

Divide both sides by 3

s=36/3

s=12

One shirt cost $12

Part B if the height of each prism is 10 Cm what is the surface area prism

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Prism A:

$Area = 288cm^2$

Prism B:

$Area =250cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for prisms

$Height(h) = 10cm$

Required

Determine the surface area of both prisms

Prism A is triangular and as such, the surface area is:

$Area = 2 * A_b + (a + b + c) * h$

Where

$A_b = \sqrt{s * (s - a) * (s -b) * (s - c)}$

and

$s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}$

Such that a, b and c are the lengths of the triangular sides of the prism.

From the attachment;

$a = 8; b =6; c =10$

So, we have:

$s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}$

$s = \frac{8 + 6 + 10}{2}$

$s = \frac{24}{2}$

$s = 12$

Also:

$A_b = \sqrt{s * (s - a) * (s -b) * (s - c)}$

$A_b = \sqrt{12 * (12 - 8) * (12 - 6) * (12 - 10)}$

$A_b = \sqrt{576}$

$A_b = 24$

So:

$Area = 2 * A_b + (a + b + c) * h$

$Area = 2 * 24 + (8 + 6 + 10) * 10$

$Area = 288cm^2$

Prism B is a rectangular prism. So, the area is calculated as:

$Area = 2 * (ab + bh + ah)$

From the attachment

$a = b = 5$

$h =10$

So:

$Area =2 * (5 * 5 + 5 * 10 + 5 * 10)$

$Area =250cm^2$

An online data base charges $25 an hour during the day and $12.50 an hour at night. If a research company paid $250 for 12 hours

Firdavs [7]

Answer

Find out the which system of equations could be used to determine the number of hours charged at the day rate (d) and at the night rate (n) .

To proof

As given in the question

Let us assume that the number of hours charged at the day rate = d

Let us assume that the number of hours charged at the night rate = n

An online data base charges $25 an hour during the day and $12.50 an hour at night. If a research company paid $250 for 12 hours of use.

Total working hour in a company including day and night be 12 hours .

than the equation become in the form

d + n = 12

also

An online data base charges $25 an hour during the day

$12.50 an hour at night.

If a research company paid $250 for 12 hours of use.

than the equation becomes

25d + 12.50n = 250

than the two equation are

d + n = 12 , 25d + 12.50n = 250

multiply first by 25 and subtracted from 25d + 12.50n = 250

25d - 25d + 12.50n - 25n = 250 - 300

12.5 n = 50

$n = \frac{50}{12.5}$

n = 4hours

put this in the d + n = 12

d + 4 =12

d = 12-4

d = 8 hours

Therefore the number of hours charged at the day rate is 8 hours and at the night rate is 4hours .

Hence proved
