Answer: the cost of each bush is $15

the cost of each flower is $2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of each bush.

Let y represent the cost of each flower.

Portia bought 12 bushes and 30 flowers for $240 to plant in her yard. This is expressed as

12x + 30y = 240- - - - - - - - - - -1

Later, she realized she did not have enough plants and bought 7 more bushes and 10 more flowers for $125. This is expressed as

7x + 10y = 125- - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 7 and equation 2 by 12, it becomes

84x + 210y = 1680

84x + 120y = 1500

Subtracting, it becomes

90y = 180

y = 180/90

y = 2

Substituting y = 2 into equation 1, it becomes

12x + 30 × 2 = 240

12x + 60 = 240

12x = 240 - 60 = 180

x = 180/12

x = 15

Help me idk how to do this
ElenaW [278]
To do this, you have to plug each x value into the rule.

1.y = 15 - 3×2
y = 15 - 6
y = 9

So the first y value would be 9.

2.y = 15 - 3×3
y = 15 - 9
y = 6

3. y = 15 - 3×4
y = 15-12
y = 3

4. y = 15 - 3×5
y = 15-15
y = 0

Hope this helps!

Write in slope intercept form an equation of the line that passes through the given points. (-1,7) , (3,-1)
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer! :

y = -2x + 5

Step by Step! :

slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

m being slope, b being the y intercept.

To find the slope, use this equation:

y^2 - y^1 / x^2 - x^1

Plug in your points.

(-1) - (7) / (3) - (-1)

-8 / 4

-2 is your slope! (y = -2x + b)

To solve for b, plug in any one of your points and solve for b. Let's use (3, -1)

-1 = -2(3) + b

-1 = -6 + b

5 = b

Your new equation is...

y = -2x + 5

Find the value of x in each case: Given: Iso. ΔABC, HM ∥DG Find: x, m∠CAB, m∠CBA
AleksAgata [21]

1. Start with ΔCIJ.

  • ∠HIC and ∠CIJ are supplementary, then m∠CIJ=180°-7x;
  • the sum of the measures of all interior angles in ΔCIJ is 180°, then m∠CJI=180°-m∠JCI-m∠CIJ=180°-25°-(180°-7x)=7x-25°;
  • ∠CJI and ∠KJA are congruent as vertical angles, then m∠KJA =m∠CJI=7x-25°.

2. Lines HM and DG are parallel, then ∠KJA and ∠JAB are consecutive interior angles, then m∠KJA+m∠JAB=180°. So

m∠JAB=180°-m∠KJA=180°-(7x-25°)=205°-7x.

3. Consider ΔCKL.

  • ∠LFG and ∠CLM are corresponding angles, then m∠LFG=m∠CLM=8x;
  • ∠CLM and ∠CLK are supplementary, then m∠CLM+m∠CLK=180°, m∠CLK=180°-8x;
  • the sum of the measures of all interior angles in ΔCLK is 180°, then m∠CKL=180°-m∠CLK-m∠LCK=180°-(180°-8x)-42°=8x-42°;
  • ∠CKL and ∠JKB are congruent as vertical angles, then m∠JKB =m∠CKL=8x-42°.

4. Lines HM and DG are parallel, then ∠JKB and ∠KBA are consecutive interior angles, then m∠JKB+m∠KBA=180°. So

m∠KBA=180°-m∠JKB=180°-(8x-42°)=222°-8x.

5. ΔABC is isosceles, then angles adjacent to the base are congruent:

m∠KBA=m∠JAB → 222°-8x=205°-7x,

7x-8x=205°-222°,

-x=-17°,

x=17°.

Then m∠CAB=m∠CBA=205°-7x=86°.

Answer: 86°.

Answer:

It's 4

Step-by-step explanation:

every integer is the rational number, so, a whole number 6 can be written as 6/1. 2/3 x 6 = 12/3 as simplified as 4/1 in fraction form.
