Answer:

17 adult shirts were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

x = adult shirts and y = children shirts

x + y = 40......adult shirts + child shirts = 40 total shirts

17x + 13y = 588...$ 17 for each adult shirt (x) + $ 13 for each child shirt (y) = $ 588

these are the equations we will be using.

now lets rearrange the first one....x + y = 40......x = 40 - y.....now sub 40 - y in for x back into the second equation

17x + 13y = 588

17(40 - y) + 13y = 588

680 - 17y + 13y = 588

-17y + 13y = 588 - 680

-4y = - 92

y = -92/-4

y = 23 <=== so there were 23 child shirts sold

x + y = 40

x + 23 = 40

x = 40 - 23

x = 17 <===== and 17 adult shirts sold

check...

17x + 13y = 588

17(17) + 13(23) = 588

289 + 299 = 588

588 = 588 (correct)

The sum of 7/8 and 4/9 is closer to 0,1,2,or 3?
tresset_1 [31]
2 because you make them with the same denominators that both go into each other EX: 8x9=72 7/8 now equals 63/72 and 4/9 now equals 28/72 now add them together 63/72 + 28/72= 91/72= 1 19/72

The product of two numbers is 41. One of the numbers
shepuryov [24]
<h3>Answer:   5 - 4i     (choice A)</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

x = the other number

(5+4i)*x = 41

x = 41/(5+4i)

x = 41*(5-4i)/( (5+4i)*(5-4i) ) ..... see note below

x = 41*(5-4i)/( 41 )

x = (41/41)*(5-4i)

x = 5 - 4i  

As a way to check, (5+4i)*(5-4i) = 5^2+4^2 = 25+16 = 41

The rule used is (a-bi)(a+bi) = a^2 + b^2

-----------

Note:  I multiplied top and bottom by (5-4i) to get rid of the imaginary term in the denominator.

Virginia beach is about 20 miles wide and 28 miles long. if one inch of rain falls there during a daily rain shower, how many cu
S_A_V [24]
In this question, you are given the width( 20 miles), the length(28 miles) and the height( 1 inch). You are asked to count the rain water volume which was going with formula length x width x height. But the unit asked is ft, so you need to convert them all. The calculation would be:

Water volume= length x width x height
Water volume= 20 miles x 5280ft/miles x 28 miles x 5280ft/miles x 1inch x 1ft/12inch
Water volume = 1300992000 cubic ft.
