The price of one hat is $2 and one pair of mittens is $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hats and mittens are on sale at the store!

  • One woman was able to buy 5 hats and 4 pairs of mittens for $30
  • Another woman purchased 3 pairs of mittens and 2 hats for $19
  • The price of one hat is x
  • The price of one pair of mittens is y

We need to find x and y

∵ One woman was able to buy 5 hats and 4 pairs of mittens for $30

∵ The price of one hat is x

∵ The price of one pair of  mittens is y

- Multiply 5 hats by x and 4 pairs of mittens by y and equate

  their sum by 30

∴ 5x + 4y = 30 ⇒ (1)

∵ Another woman purchased 3 pairs of mittens and 2 hats for $19

- Multiply 2 hats by x and 3 pairs of mittens by y and equate

  their sum by 19

∴ 2x + 3y = 19 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

Multiply equation (1) by -2 and equation (2) by 5 to eliminate x

∵ -10x - 8y = -60 ⇒ (3)

∵ 10x + 15y = 95 ⇒ (4)

- Add equations (3) and (4)

∴ 7y = 35

- Divide both sides by 7

∴ y = 5

Substitute the value of y in equation (1) or (2) to find x

∵ 2x + 3(5) = 19

∴ 2x + 15 = 19

- Subtract 15 from both sides

∴ 2x = 4

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 2

The price of one hat is $2 and one pair of mittens is $5

[Geometry] help pls!!!!<br><br> is the answer 70?
olga nikolaevna [1]
Notice the picture below

in a rectangle, all angles are 90 degrees and the diagonals are equal

meaning the diagonals bisect each other, they cut in equal halves

so. those two sides are equal, and thus they make up an isosceles triangle
on the sides

if those two sides are equal, the angles they make on the other side are equal

so if angle D is 55 degrees, angle A is 55 degrees
and the missing angle is 180 - (55 + 55) or 70
that's just the left-side

now, angle "x" on the right side, is a vertical angle of that angle on the left,
and vertical angles are equal, thus x = 70
