Answer:

An apple costs £0.25

A banana costs £0.34

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be apples and b be bananas.

10a+5b=4.2

8a+10b=5.4

Solve for a:

10a+5b=4.2

<em>Subtract 5b from both sides</em>

10a=4.2-5b

<em>Subtract 4.2 from both sides</em>

10a-4.2= -5b

<em>Multiply both sides by -1</em>

-10a+4.2=5b

8a+10b=5.4

<em>Subtract 10b from both sides</em>

8a=5.4-10b

<em>Subtract 5.4 from both sides</em>

8a-5.4= -10b

<em>Multiply both sides by -1</em>

-8a+5.4= 10b

<em>Divide both sides by 2</em>

-4a+2.7=5b

<u>Combine equations:</u>

-4a+2.7= -10a+4.2

<em>Add 10a to both sides</em>

6a+2.7=4.2

<em>Subtract 2.7 from both sides</em>

6a=1.5

<em>Divide both sides by 6</em>

a=0.25

An apple costs £0.25

Solve for b:

10a+5b=4.2

<em>Subtract 10a from both sides</em>

5b= -10a+4.2

<em>Subtract 4.2 from both sides</em>

5b-4.2= -10a

<em>Multiply both sides by -1</em>

-5b+4.2=10a

8a+10b=5.4

<em>Subtract 8a from both sides</em>

10b= -8a+5.4

<em>Subtract 5.4 from both sides</em>

10b-5.4= -8a

<em>Divide both sides by 4</em>

2.5b-1.35= -2a

Multiply both sides by 5

12.5b-6.75= -10a

<em>Multiply both sides by -1</em>

-12.5b+6.75=10a

<u>Combine equations:</u>

-12.5b+6.75= -5b+4.2

<em>Add 12.5b to both sides</em>

6.75=7.5b+4.2

<em>Subtract 4.2 from both sides</em>

2.55=7.5b

7.5b=2.55

<em>Divide both sides by 7.5</em>

b=0.34

A banana costs £0.34

If you would like to check and see if it is true, (I already checked, it is) you can use the formulas I gave at the start of the explanation.

10a+5b=4.2

8a+10b=5.4

a=0.25

b=0.34

The circle below has center P, and its radius is 3 m. Given that m 2 QPR=170°, find the length of the minor arc OR.
QveST [7]

Any smooth curve connecting two points is called an arc. The length of the arc m∠QPR is 2.8334π m.

<h3>What is the Length of an Arc?</h3>

Any smooth curve connecting two points is called an arc. The arc length is the measurement of how long an arc is. The length of an arc is given by the formula,

\rm{ Length\ of\ an\ Arc = 2\times \pi \times(radius)\times\dfrac{\theta}{360} = 2\pi r \times \dfrac{\theta}{2\pi}

where

θ is the angle, that which arc creates at the centre of the circle in degree.

Given the radius of the circle is 3m, while the angle made by the arc at the centre of the circle is 170°. Therefore,

The length of an arc = 2πr×(θ/360°) = 2π × 3 ×(170/360°) = 2.8334π m

Hence, the length of the arc m∠QPR is 2.8334π m.

Answer:

m∠3 = 143°

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠1 = 53°

m∠2 = 180 - (90 + 53) = 37°

m∠3 = 180 - 37 = 143°
