Hey there!!

Given :

The total cost for 2 pairs of pants and 5 shirts is $61.

The total cost for 3 pairs of paints and 4 shirts is $67.

<em>Let's take the cost for each pair of paints as 'p' and the cost for each shirt as 's'. </em>

Now, let's get these into an equation.

<em>Peter's equation</em> :

... 2p + 5s = 61

<em>Jessica's equation : </em>

...3p + 4s = 67

......................................................................................................

2p + 5s = 61 --- (1)

3p + 4s = 67 --- (2)

Multiply the first equation with 3 and the second equation with 2.

6p + 15s = 183

6p + 8s = 134

S<em>ubtract both the equations - </em>

... 7s = 49

Divide both sides with 7.

... s = 7

<u><em>Hence, the cost of each shirt is $7. </em></u>

Hope my answer helps!!

20% of the girls in class have blonde hair. 16 girls do not have blonde hair. How many total students
yawa3891 [41]
The problem is to find how many students have either blond hair or glasses and then divide that by the total number of students; that will find the probability.
Since 7 have blonde hair and 9 have glasses, that would be a total of 16 persons if there were no overlap; that is, no blonde wears glasses and nobody who wears glasses is a blonde.
But there are 4 persons who have both blond hair and wears glasses. That means, of the 7 who are blondes, 3 of them do not wear glasses. And, of the 9 who wear glasses, 5 of them are not blondes.
So we have 3 who are blondes without glasses, 5 who wear glasses who are not blondes, and 4 blonds with glasses, for a total of 12 persons.
The probability is, therefore, 12/26 or 6/13.

Simplify the following expression.
AlekseyPX

Answer:

The answer is cosx cot²x ⇒ the first answer

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ cot²x = cos²x/sin²x

∵ secx = 1/cosx

∴ cot²x secx - cosx = (cos²x/sin²x)(1/cosx) - cosx

  = (cosx/sin²x) - cosx

Take cosx as a common factor

∴ cosx[(1/sin²x) - 1] ⇒ use L.C.M

∴  cosx[1-sin²x/sin²x]

∵ 1 - sin²x = cos²x

∴ cosx(cos²x/sin²x) = cosx cot²x
