X = reels 
y = rods 
so 
3x + 5y = 309 
6x + 2y = 282 

let's use equation 2 and get the y's on a side by themself by subtracting 6x from both sides 

6x + 2y - 6x = 282 - 6x 
becomes 
2y = 282 - 6x 

now divied both sides by 2 

y = (282 - 6x) / 2 
y = 141 - 3x 
now stick that y value into the first equation 
3x + 5y = 309 
becomes 
3x + 5(141 - 3x) = 309 

multiply it out 

3x + 705 - 15x = 309 
-12x = 309 - 705 
-12x = -396 
x = 33 

cost of each reel = 33 

now substitute 33 for x into equation 1 or equation 2 (it doesn't matter which) to find out the value of each rod using equation 1 
3x + 5y = 309
3(33) + 5y = 309
99 - 309 = -5y
-210 = -5y
y = 42

WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST A slice is made perpendicular to the base of a right rectangular prism as shown.
Likurg_2 [28]

Hi, here is the correct answer <3

Answer:

A rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the cross-section will be perpendicular to the base, it is parallel to the lateral faces of the prism. This means it will be the same shape as the lateral faces.

The lateral faces of a rectangular prism are rectangles; this means this cross-section will be a rectangle as well.

Question 9 of 10 What is the equation of the following line? Be sure to scroll down first to see all answer options. 10 110 (0,0
Papessa [141]

Answer:

C) y=-\frac{1}{5}x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line is given by:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope of the line, b is the y intercept (value of x when y is 0) and y, x are variables.

The equation of a line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by:

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)

From the graph, the line passes through (0, 0) and (10, -2), hence the equation of the line is:

y-0=\frac{-2-0}{10-0}(x-0)\\\\y=-\frac{1}{5}x  \\\\
