<u>Answer-</u>

<em>She has 11 number of 52 cent stamps and 17 number of 34 cent stamps.</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

Given that, Sally has six more 34 cent stamps as compared to 52 cent stamps.

Let us assume, she has x number of 52 cent stamps and then the number of 34 cent stamps will be x+6

Then, the worth of her stamps will be,

=(x\times 0.52)+((x+6)\times 0.34)

Given the fact that, her stamps amount to 11.50

\Rightarrow (x\times 0.52)+((x+6)\times 0.34)=11.50

\Rightarrow (0.52x)+(0.34x+2.04)=11.50

\Rightarrow 0.86x+2.04=11.50

\Rightarrow 0.86x=9.46

\Rightarrow x=\frac{9.46}{0.86}=11

Therefore, she has 11 number of 52 cent stamps and 17 number of 34 cent stamps.

Let x be the number of 52 cent stamps that Sally has and let y be the number of 34 cent stamps that she has.

Then,

52x + 34y = 1150 --- (1)

Also, she has six more 34 cent stamps than 52 cent stamps.

Therefore, y = x + 6

(1) becomes

52x + 34(x + 6) = 1150

52x + 34x + 204 = 1150

86x + 204 = 1150

86x = 1150 - 204

86x = 946

x = 11

and y = 11 + 6 = 17

Hence, Sally has eleven 52 cent stamps and seventeen 34 cent stamps.

You buy 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants for $32. Your friend buys 2 shirts and 3 pairs of pants for $40.
koban [17]

You buy 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants for $32. Your friend buys 2 shirts and 3 pairs of pants for $40. How much did each item cost?

 

First let’s define a shirt as X and pants as Y!

 

In the first scenario, the equation will be 3X + Y =$32

In the second scenario, the equation will be 2X + 3Y = $40  

 

Now because we have two different variables (X & Y) let’s solve for one of them (Ex: Y) to simplify the equations!

 

3X + Y= $32—> subtract 3X on both sides of the equation  

-3X.        - 3X

 

Net result: Y= 32- 3X

 

Now we can insert this into the second equation 2X + 3Y = $40 in order to solve for X variable  

 

2X + 3(32-3X) = $40

2X + 96 - 9X = $40 —> simplify the equation  

-7X + 96 = $40 —> substrate 96 from both sides  

-7X = -56 —> divide both sides by -7  

X= 8  

 

Now reinsert 8= X into 3X + Y = $32

3(8) + Y = $32

24+ Y = $32 —> substract 24 from both sides

y = 8

   

ANSWER: X= 8, Y= 8

If I am wrong I am sorry >_<

Given the lengths of the sides, state if the triangle is acute, obtuse, or right. 8, 15, and 17 This is a(n) blank triangle.
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

This is a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras theorem is used to determine if a triangle is right, acute or obtuse

If the sum of squares of two shorter lengths is greater than the square of third side then the triangle is an acute triangle.

If the sum of squares of two shorter lengths is less than the square of third side then the triangle is an obtuse triangle.

If the sum of squares of two shorter lengths is equal the square of third side then the triangle is a right triangle.

so,

(17)^2 = (15)^2+(8)^2\\289 = 225+64\\289=289

Therefore, the given triangle is a right triangle ..
