Amelia has 13 less than 5 times the cans elliot has. together, they have 257 cans. How many cans does each one have?

1 answer:

5 0

To solve this, you must determin variables.

Elliot=x
Amelia=5x-13

Then, you must do the sum of those two variables equals the number of cans. Therefore,

5x-13+x=257
6x-13=257
6x=257-(-13)
6x=270
x=270÷6
x=45

blagie [28]

Answer:

d. 23

Step-by-step explanation:

x: small hat

y: medium hat

z: large hat

We now write the system of equations:

x + y + z = 47

5.50x + 6y + 7z = 302

-3x + y = 0

We can write the system in matrix form as:

Ax = b

Where,

A = [1 1 1; 5.50 6 7; -3 1 0]

b = [47; 302; 0]

x = [x; y ; z]

Solving the system we have:

x = 6

y = 18

z = 23

hope this helps

Goshia [24]

Answer:

64°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras rule :

Cosθ = adjacent / hypotenus

Adjacent = 167

Hypotenus = 381

Cosθ = 167 / 381

Cosθ = 0.4383202

θ = Cos^-1(0.4383202)

= 64.003

Hence, angle of elevation = 64°
