Let us say that:

x = cost of shorts

y = cost of slacks

z = cost of sports coat

 

From the given statements, we can create the following equations:

eqtn 1: 3 x + y = 10.96

eqtn 2:  7 x + 2 y + z = 30.40

eqtn 3:  4 x + z = 14.45

 

Rewrite eqtn 1 explicit to y:

y = 10.96 – 3 x                    --> eqtn 4

 

Rewrite eqtn 3 explicit to z:

z = 14.45 – 4x                     --> eqtn 5

 

Plug in the values of y (eqtn 4) and z (eqtn 5) to eqtn 2:

7 x + 2 (10.96 – 3 x) + 14.45 – 4 x = 30.40

7 x + 21.92 – 6 x + 14.45 – 4 x = 30.40

- 3 x + 36.37 = 30.40

- 3 x = - 5.97

x = 1.99

 

Eqtn 4:

y = 10.96 – 3 x   

y = 10.96 – 3 (1.99)

y = 4.99

 

Eqtn 5:

z = 14.45 – 4x

z = 14.45 – 4 (1.99)

z = 6.49

 

 

Therefore each shirt cost $1.99, each slacks cost $4.99, and each sports coat cost $6.49.

0.624 in expanded form
Tpy6a [65]

The <u><em>correct answer</em></u> is:

0.6 + 0.02 + 0.004

Explanation:

To write a number in expanded form, we use place value. In this number, 6 is in the tenths place; that makes its value 6(0.1) = 0.6.

2 is in the hundredths place; that makes its value 2(0.01) = 0.02.

4 is in the thousandths place; that makes its value 4(0.001) = 0.004.

Together, we get a sum of 0.6+0.02+0.004.

I’m so confused. can someone please help
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

k = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a function f(x), then a horizontal translation parallel to the x- axis is denoted by

f(x + k)

If k > 0 then shift of k units left

If k < 0 then shift of k units right

Here the shift is 6 units to the left, from 4 to - 2, hence

k =  6

Find the Area. Simplify your answer.​
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Area = 9x^2 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Key skills needed: Area of a parallelogram</u>

1) This shape is a parallelogram, and the way to find the area of a parallelogram is:

                                A = bh

A = area

b = base (the side at the bottom

h = the height ( the length that runs from one side to another and makes a right angle)

2) The base (b) would be 3x. The height (h) would also be 3x

3) This means A = 3x(3x)

3 times 3 is 9 --> and x times x is x^2

Therefore the area is --> 9x^2

Which value is closest to the perimeter of the window
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

9.82 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

the perimeter of the window is the circumference of a semi-circle with a diameter of 5

P = (πd)/2     (divided in half because it's only half a circle)

P ≈ 3.14(3.5) which is approx 11

11 is closest to 9.82
