Answer:

See the explanation. :)

Step-by-step explanation:

As a side note, while I know you don't need to solve the problem and just need the equation, I'm going to solve it anyway so you can see how problems like this work so that you can solve them for yourself. :)

As the problem states, the cost of a single shirt (s) and a single pair of pants (p) TOGETHER is $18. It also states that a pair of pants (p) costs twice as much as a shirt (s). This, believe it or not, gives us all the information we need to solve the problem.

Pretty quickly, we can come up with two equations:

2s = p

p + s = 18

Then, through substitution, we find that:

2s + s = 18

Now, that right there is your answer, and you can just stop here to keep going if you'd like. I, however, am going to solve the problem and find the numbers. I implore you to continue reading.

Continuing on:

3s = 18

3s / 3 = 18 / 3

s = 6

Finally, we return to our original two equations to figure out the following:

2(6) = p

12 = p

Finally, we find that s = 6 and p = 12.

Rewrite the expression with a rational exponent as a radical expression.
Vilka [71]

Answer:

\sqrt{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The "power rule" tells us that to raise a power to a power, just multiply the exponents

so

(a^{m})^{n}=a^{m*n}

we have

(5^{\frac{3}{4}})^{\frac{2}{3}}

Applying the "power rule"

(5^{\frac{3}{4}})^{\frac{2}{3}}=5^{\frac{3}{4}*\frac{2}{3}}=5^{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{5}

A dairy needs 364 gallons of milk containing 6% butterfat. How many gallons each of milk containing 7% butterfat and milk contai
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be gallons of 7%

Let y be gallons of 3%

364 = x + y

y = 364 - x

364(0.06) = x(0.07) + y(0.03)

364(6) = x(7) + y(3)

364(6) = 7x + 3y

364(6) = 7x + 3(364 - x)

364(6 - 3) = 7x - 3x

364(3) = 4x

x = 273

y = 364 - 273 = 91

273 gallons of 7%

91    gallons of 3%

two bags and four hats cost $100 in all. three bags and seven hats cost $164 in all. what is the cost of 1 hat?
Natali [406]

Answer:

Bags = 22

Hat = 14

22 x 2 = 44

14 x 4 = 56

So the first part is true

3 x 22 = 66

7 x 14 = 98

So the second part is true

14 is the answer

It's trial and error
