Solve the problem by multiplying first. A clothing store is having a sale on shirts and jeans. Four shirts and two pairs of jean

s cost $64. Five shirts and three pairs of jeans cost $87. The system of equations models this situation, where s is the cost of a shirt and j is the cost of a pair of jeans. How much does one shirt and one pair of jeans cost? 4s + 2j = 64 5s + 3j = 87

We will solve this by suing simultaneous equations,

⇒ 5s + 3j = 87

    4s + 2j = 64

Multiply the first equation with 4 and the second one with 5, this is to get one of the values equal so that we can cancel them out,

⇒ (5s + 3j = 87) × 4

    (4s + 2j = 64) × 5

∴ ⇒ 20s + 12j = 348

       20s + 10j = 320

Subtract both the equations. This is how your result (after subtraction) should look like,

  ⇒ 2j = 28

∴ ⇒ j = $14

Now replace the value of 'j' in one of the original equations,

⇒ 4s + 2(14) = 64

⇒ 4s + 28 = 64

⇒ 4s = 64 - 28

⇒ 4s = 36

∴ ⇒ s = $9

Therefore, one pair of jeans cost $14 and a shirt costs $9

Hope you understood! Feel free to ask me if you didn't understand a step.

5. Use the law of Cosines to find each missing sides. Round to the nearest tenth
stellarik [79]

The measure of angle x will be 88 degrees. Then the correct option is C.

The complete question is attached below.

<h3>What is law of cosine?</h3>

Let there is a triangle ABC such that |AB| = a units, |AC| = b units, and |BC| = c units and the internal angle A is of θ degrees, then we have:

2ab cos θ = a² + b² – c²

The triangle is shown below.

Then the value of the variable x will be

2 · 7 · 10 · cos x = 7² + 10² – 12²

       140 · cos x = 49 + 100 – 144

                cos x = (149 – 144) / 140

                       x = 87.95 ≈ 88°

Then the correct option is C.
