Answer:Let t = cost per pound of turkey
Let h = cost per pound of ham
4t + 2h = 30
t = h - 1.5
substitute h-1.5 in place of t in 1st equation
4(h-1.5) + 2h = 30
4h - 6 + 2h = 30
6h - 6 = 30
6h = 36
h = 6
t = h-1.5 = 4.5
1 pound of turkey costs $4.50
1 pound of ham costs $6.00
----------
cost of 1 pound each $10.50

Answer:
width= 75 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to recall the formula to calculate the area of a rectangle, since we are dealing with a rectangular window:
Area of rectangle = width * length
therefore, since they give us the window's area: 6525
, and also the window's length: 87 cm, we just need to replace those values in the area formula and solve for the unknown "width". We do such by dividing both sides of the equation by 87 cm in order to isolate the unknown on one side of the equal sign;

Answer: The number is 26.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that:
The nth term of a sequence is 3n²-1
The nth term of a different sequence is 30–n²
We want to find a number that belongs to both sequences (it is not necessarily for the same value of n) then we can use n in one term (first one), and m in the other (second one), such that n and m must be integer numbers.
we get:
3n²- 1 = 30–m²
Notice that as n increases, the terms of the first sequence also increase.
And as n increases, the terms of the second sequence decrease.
One way to solve this, is to give different values to m (m = 1, m = 2, etc) and see if we can find an integer value for n.
if m = 1, then:
3n²- 1 = 30–1²
3n²- 1 = 29
3n² = 30
n² = 30/3 = 10
n² = 10
There is no integer n such that n² = 10
now let's try with m = 2, then:
3n²- 1 = 30–2² = 30 - 4
3n²- 1 = 26
3n² = 26 + 1 = 27
n² = 27/3 = 9
n² = 9
n = √9 = 3
So here we have m = 2, and n = 3, both integers as we wanted, so we just found the term that belongs to both sequences.
the number is:
3*(3)² - 1 = 26
30 - 2² = 26
The number that belongs to both sequences is 26.
