Answer:
trees cost $15
Shrub cost $7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Rita paid $82 for 5 trees and 1 shrub
5x+y= 82---------1
Lilly bought 2 trees and 1 shrub for $37
2x+y= 37----------2
from 1
y= 82-5x
put the value of y in 2
2x+82-5x= 37
2x-5x= 37-82
-3x=-45
x= 45/3
x=$15
put the value of x in 1
5(x)+y= 82
5*15+y=82
75+y=82
y=82-75
y=$7
Hence, trees cost $15
Shrub cost $7
Answer:
x=5, y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
You simply write down what you see:
3x - 4y + 4x - 5y = 17
2x - 3y + 3x - 5y = 9
Then you simplify by grouping the x and the y terms:
7x - 9y = 17
5x - 8y = 9
Now you want to get equal amounts of x or y. Let's go for x. If we multiply the top eq with 5 and the bottom one with -7, we get:
35x - 45y = 85
-35x + 56y = -63
-------------------------+ now we can add them:
11y = 22 divide by -11
y = 2
So 7x - 18 = 17, x =5
Finally, it makes sense to double check by filling in these answers in the original equations, just to see if no mistakes were made:
3*5 - 4*2 = 7
4*5 - 5*2 = 10
7+10 = 17: ok!
2*5 - 3*2 = 4
3*5 - 5*2 = 5
4+5 = 9: ok!
1500 + 0.45x < 1.70x
1500 < 1.70x - 0.45x
1500 < 1.25x
1500/1.25 < x
1200 < x.....so she would have to sell 1201 cards to make a profit
The mixture is 1 cup of vinegar to 1 gallon of water.
Since 1 gallon is 16 cups, it could also be
1 cup of vinegar to 16 cups of water.
If we had 80 fluid ounces of water, we'd have to change the water to 5 fluid ounces to keep the mixture the same. (It's still 1 part vinegar, 16 parts water)
Answer:
627square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the composite figure.. = area of triangle + area of parallelogram
Since the triangle is an equilateral triangle;
Area of the triangle = r²sintheta
Area of the triangle = 18²sin60
Area of the triangle = 324sin60
Area of the triangle = 324(0.8860)
Area of the triangle = 280.584 square in
Area of the triangle = 281 square inches
Area of parallelogram = absintheta
Area of parallelogram = 20(20)sin60
Area of parallelogram = 400(0.8660)
Area of parallelogram = 346.4square inches
Area of parallelogram = 346 square inches
Area of the figure = 346 + 281
Area of the figure = 627square inches
