Answer:

The cost of each notebook is $3 and the cost of each thumb drive is $14.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question we will attribute variables to the notebook and thumb drive. The price of a notebook we will call "x" and the price of a thumb drive will be "y". We now can create equations that represents the total amount spent by each person on these items. To do that we need to take the amount of each item that was bought and multiply it by it's price.

For Troy:

4*x + 6*y = 96

For Lisa:

2*x + 4*y = 62

We now have a system of equations and we can solve them by isolate one of he variables in one of the equations and using that value on the other. Using the second equation we have:

2*x + 4*y = 62

4*y = 62 - 2*x

y = 15.5 - 0.5*x

Using this expression on the first equation:

4*x + 6*(15.5 - 0.5*x) = 96

4*x + 93 - 3*x = 96

x = 96 - 93 = 3

We can now find the value of y:

y = 15.5 - 0.5*(3) = 14

The cost of each notebook is $3 and the cost of each thumb drive is $14.

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So, to go about your question, we must first ask, how many hours a week is being worked?

In this problem, that is 9 hours per week.

Next, we must question how much per week is made

That is $92 per week

Finally, we must determine if the allowance is occuring many times in the week or just once.

In this problem, that is only occuring once for the week.

So, the equation we must setup is 9x +20 =92.

To solve the equation, we need to subtract 20 on both sides to isolate the variable, x.

9x+20=92

     -20     -20

Now our equation is

9x=72

Now, to finally get x by itself or to isolate x, you should divide 9 on both sides to cancel out the 9 being multiplied by the x.

<u>9x</u>=<u>72</u>

9     9

x=8 because of 72/9 is equal to 8.

I hope this helps, and I will answer any questions you have.

There are 6 yellow hexagons 2 red trapezoids and 9 green triangles how many flowers could you make if they were changed 30 yello
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

<h3>a) 5 flowers</h3><h3>b) Trapezoid</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

For one flower, the following shapes are used;

6 yellow hexagons, 2 red trapezoids and 9 green triangles

If we are given 30 yellow hexagons 50 red trapezoids and 60 green triangles, to get the number of flowers we can make, we will find the greatest common factor of 30, 50 and 60

30 = 6*5

50 = (2*5)+40

60 = (9*5)+15

We can see that 5 is common to all the factors. This means that we can make 5 flowers if they were changed to 30 yellow hexagons 50 red trapezoids and 60 green triangles.

Since there are 40 trapezoids left and 15 green triangles left, hence the shape that would have n as left over most is trapezoid (40 left over)
