Answer:

The cost of 1 Douglas Fir Tree = $30

The cost of 1 Noble Fir Tree = $ 79

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of 1 Douglas Fir tree =  $ x

Let the cost of 1 Noble Fir tree = $ y

Total Amount Earned in morning = $2,417

Total Amount Earned in evening = $2,022

Now, according to the question:

20 x + 23 y = 2417

and 20 x + 18 y = 2022

Subtraction both equation , we get

20 x + 23 y  - (20 x + 23 y)  = 2417 - 2022

or,  20x - 20x + 23 y - 18 y  = 395

or, 5 y = 395

⇒ y = 395 / 5 =  79

Hence, the cost of 1 Noble Fir Tree = $ 79

Now, put the value of y in 20 x + 23 y = 2417 , we get

20x + 23(79) = 2417

or, 20x = 2417 - 1817 = 600

or, x  = 600/20  = 30

Hence, the cost of 1 Douglas Fir Tree = $30

at a track meet,Jacob and daniel compete in 220 m hurdles. Daniels finishes in 3/4 of the a min.Jacob finishes with 5/12 of a mi
Savatey [412]
Jacob has the faster time because if you make the fractions equal you would make the denominators equal by rounding 3/4 to have a denominator of 12 making it 9/12 which is larger then 5/12 making Daniel's time slower then Jacob's.

PLEASE HELP<br><br><br> What is the equation of the line shown?
Ivenika [448]

So, let's start off with explaining what these different questions mean;

y = |x + c| Shifts the graph c units left.

y = |x - c| Shifts the graph c units right.

y = |x| + c Shifts the graph c units up.

y = |x| - c Shifts the graph c units down.

(0,0) Is the starting point on any graph like this. So, determine the answer by going through the list of answers.

I believe the answer is y = 2x.

I would like to know if I am wrong so contact me!!
