The answer would be 10 11/20 or 10.55 in decimal form
Answer:
4x - 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Statement 1 is true.
-Hope this helps, have a nice day! :)
U have a slope of 5/4...a perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope...which means, the slope we need is -4/5.
Now we use y = mx + b
slope(m) = -4/5
(8,-7)
-7 = -4/5(8) + b
-7 = -32/5 + b
-7 + 32/5 = b
-35/5 + 32/5 = b
-3/5 = b
equation is : y = -4/5x - 3/5.....4x + 5y = -3
4x + 5y = -3....when x = 3
4(3) + 5y = -3
12 + 5y = -3
5y = -3-12
5y = - 15
y = -15/5
y = - 3 <===
For the entirety of this problem, p will represent a pair of pants and b will represent a bracelet.
Step 1) Set up equations for Destiny and Guadalupe
Destiny: 178 = 2p + 6b
Guadalupe: 155 = 3p + 2b
I will be using substitution to solve this problem, but elimination can also be used.
Step 2) Solve Destiny's equation for p
178 = 2p + 6b
178 - 6b = 2p
89 - 3b = p
Step 3) Substitute the found value of p from Destiny's equation into Guadalupe's equation and solve for b
155 = 3(89 - 3b) + 2b
155 = 267 - 9b + 2b
155 = 267 - 7b
-7b = -112
b = 16
Step 4) Use the value of b found in step 3, plug that back into our equation from step 2 and solve for p
89 - 3(16) = p
89 - 48 = p
p = 41
one pair of pants = $16
one bracelet = $41
Hope this helps!! :)
