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!!

Graph the line with a slope of 2/5 that goes through (3,1)
Triss [41]

Answer:

y = \dfrac{2x}{5} - \dfrac{1}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\bullet \ \ \text{Slope of line:}\  \dfrac{2}{5} \\\\  \bullet \ \text{Passes through:} \ (3, 1)

To determine the equation of the line, we will use point slope form.

<u>Formula of point slope form:</u>

  • → y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Where "x₁" and "y₁" are the coordinates of the point and "m" is the slope.

Substitute the coordinates and the slope:

:\implies y - 1 = \dfrac{2}{5} (x - 3)

Simplify the R.H.S:

:\implies y - 1 = \dfrac{2x}{5} - \dfrac{6}{5}

Add 1 both sides:

:\implies y - 1 + 1 = \dfrac{2x}{5} - \dfrac{6}{5} + 1

Simplify the equation:

:\implies y = \dfrac{2x}{5} - \dfrac{6}{5} + \dfrac{5}{5}

:\implies \boxed{y = \dfrac{2x}{5} - \dfrac{1}{5}}

<u>Graphing the line on a coordinate plane:</u>

In this case, we are already given a point (3, 1). We can simply plot the y-intercept [\bold{\frac{-1}{5} }] on the coordinate plane. Then, we can draw a straight line through both points. It is suggested that you use a ruler to do so.

I played 5 hours of video games over a 3 day weekend, and 60 hours of video games in the month
den301095 [7]

Answer:

The ratios are not equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

First, in order to find the ratios, we have to change the month to the amount of days.

There are 30 days in April, so we will use this for the ratio.

The ratio for the 3 day weekend is 5:3

The ratio for the month of April is 60:30, which can be simplified to 2:1

So, the ratios are not equivalent, because 5:3 is not equal to 2:1
