To solve this, we’ll first need to set it as a system of equations.

First, let’s let
x = No. of $32 books purchased.
y = No. of $44 books purchased.

We know that 54 books were sold in total and they the total cost of the books sold were 1968. Using this information we can come up with two equations.

x + y = 54
32x + 44y = 1968

We will solve this system by the substitution method. Solve the first equation for y.

y = -x + 54

Substitute this for y in your second equation.

32x + 44(-x + 54) = 1968

Distribute and add like terms.

-12x + 2376 = 1968

Solve for x.

x = 34.

Your answer should be: 34 $32 books were purchased.

Find the area of the polygon​
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

784m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

is a rectangle with sides of 40m and 20m, in the upper right corner a right triangle has been removed with the legs of: 40 - 32 = 8m and 20 - 16 = 4m, we find the area of ​​the rectangle (b * h).

40 * 20 = 800m ^ 2, then we find the area of ​​the right triangle

1/2 b * h: 1/2 8 * 4 = 16 m ^ 2.

we remove the area of ​​the triangle from the rectangle and we have the area of ​​the figure: 800 - 16 = 784m^2

Question 1 (1 point)<br> Which equation can be represented by a graph with a vertex at (1,3)?
madam [21]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

You have not provided the options to help us give you a specific answer.

If a quadratic function is written in the form

f(x) = a {(x - h)}^{2}  + k

Then (h,k) is the vertex, and 'a' is a constant.

For instance

f(x) = 5 {(x - 1)}^{2}  + 3

has vertex at (2,3).

Also, an absolute function in the form

g(x) = a  |x - h|  + k

has vertex at (h,k).

This means

g(x) =   |x - 1|  + 3

also has vertex at (1,3).

I hope this explanation is helpful.

A new photocopier works 4 times as fast as an old one. When the machines work together, a university can produce all its staff m
Usimov [2.4K]

The old photocopier can make x manuals in an hour. The new photocopier can make 4x. Combined, they made 5x manuals in an hour.

In one hour they can make 1/28 of the manuals.

1/(28*5)=1/140 is the rate.

The new photocopier can make all the manuals in 4/140 or 35 hours.

The old one can make them in 140 hours.
