Answer: A pear cost $4.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total price of four oranges and five pears is $32 then we could represent it by the equation  4x + 5y = 32   where x is cost of one orange and y is the cost of one pear.

The same way we could represent the second statement by the equation

3x + 2y = 17      

We know have the two systems of equations:

4x + 5y = 32

3x + 2y = 17         Solve using the elimination method

  Multiply the top equation by -3 and the down equation by 4 to eliminate x.

-3(4x + 5y) = -3(32) =  -12x - 15y = -96

 4(3x +2y) = 4(17)  =   12x + 8y = 68    

We now have the two new equations:

-12x -15y = -96      Add both equations

12x + 8y = 68            

      - 7y = -28

     y= 4    

Which means the cost of one pear is $4.

The water in a river moves south at 10 mi/hr. A motorboat travels due east at a speed of 20 mi/hr relative to the shore. Determi
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:22.36 mi/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

water in a river moves south at (V_w)10 mi/hr

motorboat travels due to east at a speed of (V_b)20 mi/hr

Velocity of boat relative to the moving water V_{bw}

V_{bw}=V_b-V_w

V_{bw}=20i-(-10j)=20i+10j

Magnitude of V_{bw}=\sqrt{20^2+10^2}=\sqrt{500}

V_{bw}=10\sqrt{5} \approx 22.36 mi/hr

tan\theta =\frac{10}{20}

\theta =26.56^{\circ} with the x axis.
