Answer:

A pair of jeans cost 40 dollars

A sweater costs 15 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s = cost a of sweater

j = cost of a pair of jeans

4s +2j = 140

2s +3j = 150

I will use elimination to solve.  Multiply the second equation by -2

-2(2s +3j )= 150*-2

-4s -6j = -300

Add this equation to the first equation

-4s -6j = -300

4s +2j = 140

--------------------

    -4j = -160

Divide by -4

-4j/-4 = -160/-4

j = 40

A pair of jeans cost 40 dollars

Now we need to find the cost of the sweater

2s +3j = 150

2s +3(40) = 150

2s+120 = 150

Subtract 120 from each side

2s +120-120=150-120

2s = 30

Divide by 2

2s/2=30/2

s = 15

A sweater costs 15 dollars

If we wanted to prove quadrilateral MNOP was a parallelogram, which method below would not work?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

4) Doing two distance formulas to show that adjacent sides are not the same length.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelogram is a quadrilateral which has opposite sides equals and parallel. Example of a parallelogram are rhombus, rectangle, square etc.

We can prove that a quadrilateral MNOP is a parallelogram. If we find the slopes of all four sides and compare those of the opposite ends, same slopes would indicate the opposite sides are parallel, hence the quarilateral is a parallelogram. We can also find the distance of two opposing sides, and slopes of twp opposing sides to determine whether it is a parallelogram or not. The most difficult approach is that diagonals bisect each other at same point.

However, using only two distance formulas will not give us enough information to determine whether a side is parallel or not.

Where is the hole for the following function located f(x)= x+3/(x-4)(x+3)
Marizza181 [45]
In a rational function, holes are located where f(x) is undefined(the denominator is 0), but the undefined points can be factored out. In f(x), when x is 4 or -3, f(x) is undefined. But, x+3 can be factored out, so it is a hole. The hole is located at (-3,-1/7)

Triangle Z W X is shown. Angle Z W X is a right angle. An altitude is drawn from point W to point Y on side Z X to form a right
sashaice [31]

Answer:

b = 9.1units

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

Using the similarity theorem of triangle

WX/XZ = WY/WX

Substitute;

b/a+5 = 6/b

b² = 6(a+5) ... 1

Also according to pythagoras theorem on triangle WYX;

b² = 6²+a²...2  

Equate 1 and 2

6(a+5) = 6²+a²

6a+30 = 36 + a²

a²-6a+36-30 = 0

a²-6a+6 = 0

a = 6±√36+4(6)/2

a = 6±√60/2

a = 6±7.745/2

a = 13.745/2

a = 6.8725

Recall that

b² = 6²+a²

b² = 36+6.8725²

b² = 83.2313

b = 9.12units

b = 9.1units

Given the function f(x)=2x-7. What is x when f(x)=17?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

f(x) = 2x - 7

f(x) = 17

Step 2: Substitute

17 = 2x - 7

Step 3: Solve for <em>x</em>

<u>Add 7 on both sides:</u> 24 = 2x

<u>Divide both sides by 2:</u> 12 = x

Step 4: Check

f(12) = 2(12) - 7

f(12) = 24 - 7

f(12) = 17
