Oliver works at a bookstore.He packed 20 identical paperbacks and 9 identical textbooks in a box. The total mass of the books wa

s 44.4 pounds. After he put 1 more textbook and 5 more paperbacks in the box, the total mass of the books was 51 pounds.
Write a system of equations that can used to determine p, the mass, in pounds, of one paperback, and t, the mass, in pounds of one textbook.

In the problem, the first equation should be represented like this base on the variable given in the problem:

20p + 9t = 44.4

with that equation, the second equation would is given by this formula, in response with the additional number of paperback and textbook

21p + 14t = 51

to get the system equation in getting the mass of each variable, you should subtract the two equation to simplified the formula.

   20p + 9t = 44.4
 - 21p + 14t = 51
-------------------------
p + 5t = 6.6 // this is the system equation that could be use in getting the mass of each object

Identify the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that is perpendicular to y = -1/3 x + 2 and passes through (2, 1).
kari74 [83]
To get your answer, you will need to find the perpendicular slope for -1/3x which is just the opposite therefore it will be 3x. Your slope is 3x as perpendicular so use this slope to do point slope. Y-1=3(x-2). Distribute y-1=3x-6. Add 1 to both sides. (-1+1) (-6+1)=-5. So your equation in slope intercept form is y=3x-5. Going through the two points.

Hope this helps!

The graph of a line has a slope of 2 and passes through the point (–6, –5). What is the equation of the line in point-slope form
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

it would be

B. y + 5 = 2(x + 6)

if there is a negative number and you are subtracting it turns positive

Answer the following
serg [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

61)4 + 5(p-1) = 34     {Distributive property}

    4 + 5p - 5 = 34   {Add like terms}

         5p - 1   = 34     {Add 1 to  both sides}

             5p  = 34+1

              5p = 35  {Divide both sides by 5)

                p  = 35/5

               p = 5

62)    Smaller angle = x

Larger angle = x +50

x + (x +50) = 180       {Supplementary angles}

 2x + 50   = 180  {Subtract 50 from both sides}

          2x  = 180 -50

            2x = 130

              x = 130/2

            x = 65

Smaller angle = 65

Larger angle = 65 + 50 = 115

63) ΔBAD , ΔBCD

BA ≅ BC

∠A ≅ ∠C

AD ≅ CD

ΔBAD ≅ΔBCD        {S A S congruent}

64) Selling price = ₹ 5500

Profit = 10%

Cost price = \frac{100}{100+profit}*SP\\\\= \frac{100}{100+10}*5500\\\\=\frac{100}{110}*5500\\\\=100*50\\\\=5000=
