Lucy and Ethel’s favorite store was having a sale. Lucy bought 10 shirts and 4 pairs of jeans and spent $280. Sabrina bought 12

shirts and 5 pairs of jeans and spent $344.
Assuming that each shirt was the same price, and each pair of jeans was the same price, how much did each shirt and each pair of jeans cost? Write a system of equations to represent this situation. Then solve for the solution using the elimination method.

Answer:

Each shirt costs 12 dollars.

Each pair of pants cost 40 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let x represent the shirts </u>

<u>Let y represent the pair of jeans</u>

10x + 4y = $280

12x + 5y = $344

<u>Use elimination method to eliminate y</u>

• Multiply the entire first equation by 5.

• Multiply the second entire equation by -4.

5(10x +4y = $280)

-4(12x + 5y = $344)

50x + 20y = 1400

-48x -20y = -1376

2x = 24

x = 12

Each shirt costs 12 dollars.

<u>Solve for how much each pair of jeans costs.</u>

10(12) + 4y = 280

120 + 4y = 280

4y = 160

y = 40

the area of a triangle is 124 square units. what would it's new area be if its base was half as long and its height was three ti
Montano1993 [528]
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have that the formula for calculate the area of a triangle is:

 A=bh/2

 Where A is the area of the triangle, b is the base of the triangle and h is the height of the triangle.

 bh/2=124
 bh=124x2
 bh=248

 2. The problem asks for the new area of the triangle <span>if its base was half as long and its height was three times as long. Then, you have:

 Base=b/2
 Height=3h

 3. Therefore, when you substitute this into the formula for calculate the area of a triangle, you obtain:

 A'=bh/2

 (A' is the new area)

 A'=(b/2)(3)/2
 A'=3bh/4

 4. When you substitute bh=248 into </span>A'=3bh/4, you obtain:
<span>
 A'=186 units</span>²
<span>
 The answer is: </span>186 units²

Is a + b rational or irrational
Crank

Answer and fdaStep-by-step explanation:::

The answer depends on the numbers that are inputted for a and b.

If the numbers that are inputted for both a and b are rational, then a + b would be rational.

If the numbers that are inputted for both a and b are irrational, then a + b would be irrational.

If one of the variables is rational and the other is irrational, then a + b would be irrational.
