X=skirt
y=sweater
z=shoes
x+y+z=165
y=8/7x
z=x+11
plug it in
x+(8/7x)+(x+11)=165
2x+8/7x=154
22/7x=154
x=49
y=56
z=60
a skirt cost $49, a sweater cost $56, and a pair of shoes cost $60
Answer:
The value of y is -5
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
------> equation A
------> equation B
we know that
If x and y satisfy both equations, then (x,y) is the solution of the system of equations
Using a graphing tool
Remember that
The solution of the systems of equations is the intersection point both graphs
The intersection point is (2,-5)
therefore
The solution of the system of equations is the point (2,-5)
The value of y is -5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If she doubles the area of her lot, it should be 2x^2.
But how do you get that?
The answer is that the sides have now increased to √2x
How did I get that, and why did I choose it?
- The formula for a square's area is s^2
- If you want to double the area, it will be 2 s^2. Now what?
- Take the square root of 2s^2 which is √(2s^2).
- What that means is the side is now √2 s
