Answer:

260 skirts and 270 blouses are left in the store after the sale.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of skirts and y be the number of blouses.

An apparel shop sells skirts for $45 and blouses for $35

Cost of entire stock = $51,750

Thus, we can write the equation,

45x + 35y = 51750

Half the skirts and two-thirds of the blouses are sold for a total of $30,600.

Thus, we can write the equation,

45(\dfrac{x}{2}) + 35(\dfrac{2y}{3}) = 30600\\\\135x + 140y = 183600

Solving the two equations by elimination method, we have,

135x + 140y-(135x + 105y) = 183600 - 155250\\35y = 28350\\\\y = \dfrac{28350}{35}  =810\\\\x = \dfrac{51750-35(810)}{45} = 520

Thus, there were 520 skirts and 810 blouses in the store.

Skirt left =

520-\dfrac{520}{2} = 260

Blouses left =

810 - \dfrac{2}{3}\times 810 = 270

Thus, 260 skirts and 270 blouses are left in the store after the sale.

Dina planted a six-foot tree in her backyard which she expects to grow at the rate of 4 feet per year. Find the equation of the
Scrat [10]

Answer:

y = 6 + 4x

After 4 years, the tree would be 22 ft tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let x = the number of years that pass

Let y = the height of the tree (ft)

We're given that the 6-foot tree grows at a rate of 4 ft per year. This means that the height of the tree will be equal to 6 ft, the original height, plus another 4 ft every year that passes.

Height of tree = 6 feet + 4 feet × number of years that pass

y = 6 + 4x

To solve for how tall the tree would be 4 years after Dina plants it, replace x with 4, since 4 years have passed:

y = 6 + 4(4)

y = 6 + 16

y = 22

Therefore, the tree would be 22 ft tall.

I hope this helps!

HELP PLEASE!! I NEED HELP ASAP!
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

4. A

5. B

Step-by-step explanation:

4. I'll solve question four first:

The two marked points on the line are (-2, -3)&(2, 5). Using the formula to find slope(y2-y1/x2-x1), substitute in the points.

5--3/2--2 or 8/4;simplified to 2/1 or 2.

Now use point-slope form: y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y--3 = 2(x--2): Substitute in the values of y1, m, and x1.

y+3 = 2x + 4: Distribute.

y = 2x + 1: Subtract three from both sides.

5. Do the same for question 5.

The first point is (-4, 2), the second point is (4, -1).

-1-2/4--4; -3/8.

Now use point-slope form:

y-2 = -3/8x -12/8: Substitute in the values of x1, y1, m, and distribute the slope to the parentheses.

y = -3/8x + 1/2

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line with equation 12x+3y=9?
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The slope would be 1/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perpendicular slope first you have to set this equation to y

to do this you use the subtraction prop of equality and you will get 12x-9= -3y

then you divide by -3 on both sides to get y by itself

you will get -4x+3=y

now that you know the slope is -4, you must find the negative reciprocal slope of this which means you have to flip the numerator and denominator and make the sign its opposite.

The perpendicular slope would then be 1/4.
