Answer: the system of equations that represents this situation are
12x + 6y = 180
x = 2y
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of hardcover books that were sold in a day.
Let y represent the number of paperback books that were sold in a day.
The discount bookstore sells hardcover books for $12 and paperback books for $6. The total sales that day were $180. It means that
12x + 6y = 180
The number of hardcover books sold that day was twice the number of paperback books. It means that
x = 2y
I believe you do it like this:
1/2 Q+5/2
divide 1/2 into each term
to divide multiply by the reciprocal
1/2 x2/1= 1
5/2 x 2/1=5
1/2(Q+5)
Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
let x=0.333...
10x=3.333...
subtract
9x=3
x=3/9=1/3

Answer:
42 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The attachment shows a couple of ways the figure can be considered.
a) Left and Right rectangles that are 5 cm high and 3 cm wide, together with a central rectangle that is 3 cm high and 4 cm wide. Then the total area is ...
5×3 + 3×4 + 5×3 = 15 + 12 + 15 = 42 . . . . cm²
__
b) An enclosing rectangle that is 5 cm high and 10 cm wide with a cut-out that is 2 cm high and 4 cm wide. Then the total area is ...
5×10 -2×4 = 50 -8 = 42 . . . . cm²
__
The area of the irregular figure is 42 cm².
