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

Is the figure an example of a segment?
Radda [10]

Answer: yes, it extends infinitely in opposite directions

Step-by-step explanation:

Examples of line segments include the sides of a triangle or square. More generally, when both of the segment's end points are vertices of a polygon or polyhedron, the line segment is either an edge (of that polygon or polyhedron) if they are adjacent vertices, or otherwise a diagonal.

A mountain bike is priced at $413. If the sales tax is 6.5 percent, what is the cost to purchase the mountain bike? Round to the
mamaluj [8]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Cost = $413

Sales percent = 6.5%

Cost of bike = $413 + (6.5% × $413)

= $413 + (0.065 × $413)

= $413 + $26.845

= $439.85

2. Cost of dishwasher = $569

Commission rate = 18%

The expression for the commission will be:

= 18% × $569

= 18/100 × $569

= 0.18($569)

You conducted a regression analysis between Amount of Wealth in society (x) and the Stock Market Value (y) and the study yielded
Aliun [14]

Answer:

E IS THE CORRECT ANSWER

The R-squared is 0.64 and it means that the dependent value explains 64% of the independent value in the simple regression analysis

Step-by-step explanation:

R-Squared value is a very important indicator in a regression analysis.

What does it measure?

It measures how close to the line of best fit are the data points. How good the fitted line is can be indicated by the value of the r-squared.

The maximum value it can take is 1 and at this value, there is a direct and complete relationship between the independent variable x and the dependent variable y. The value 1 represents an 100% relationship between both parties.

The r-squared has a value of between 0 and 100%. The closer to 100, the better the model while the closer to 100, the more faulty the model is. In fact, a value of 0 indicates no relationship at all between the dependent and the independent variable.

With an R-squared value of 0.64, the regression model works above average to explain that the dependent variable explains 64% of the independent value in the simple regression analysis.
