Answer:

$5.27 each

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>EQUATION 1:</u></em>

--> Price of each story book: x

--> Quantity of story books: 3

--> Price of 3 story books: 3x

--> Price of each comic book: y

--> Quantity of comic books: 4

--> Price of 4 comic books: 4y

--> Total amount: $28.87

--> Equation----> 3x + 4y = 28.87

<u><em>EQUATION 2:</em></u>

--> Price of each story book: x

--> Quantity of story books: 4

--> Price of 3 story books: 4x

--> Price of each comic book: y

--> Quantity of comic books: 3

--> Price of 4 comic books: 3y

--> Total amount: $28.87 - 2.69 = $26.18

--> Equation----> 4x + 3y = 26.18

<em><u>SOLVE:</u></em>

3x + 4y = 28.87 <em>(Multiply by 4)</em>

4x + 3y = 26.18 <em>(Multiply by -3)</em>

--> 12x + 16y = 115.48

--> -12x - 9y = -78.54

<em>12x-12x will be cancelled.</em>

--> 16y-9y = 115.48-78.54

--> 7y = 36.94

--> y = 5.27

Therefore, each comic book cost $5.27.

A building is 3 ft from an 8​-ft fence that surrounds the property. A worker wants to wash a window in the building 13 ft from t
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Length of the ladder used by worker = 17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of the window from the ground = 13 ft

Distance of fence from the building = 3 ft

Distance of ladder from the building = (3+8) = 11 ft

We have to find the length of the ladder.

Let the length of the ladder be 'x'

From the diagram we can also say that 'x' is the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.

Using Pythagoras formula:

⇒ hypotenuse\ 'x' =\sqrt{(perpendicular)^2+(base)^2}

Here base length = 11 ft

Perpendicular = 13 ft

Plugging the values:

⇒ x=\sqrt{(13)^2+(11)^2}

⇒  x=\sqrt{(169+121)}

⇒ x= \sqrt{290}

⇒ x=17.02 feet

The length of the ladder = 17 feet to its nearest tenth.

If x and y are complementary angles, then y is a right angle.<br><br> right?
Nikitich [7]
Always because the sum of x and y is 180 degrees. If x and y are right angles, then x and y are supplementary angles. Never because the sum of x and y has to be 90 degrees. If x and y are complementary angles, then y is a right angle.
