Harry had $32. He spent all the money on buying 3 notebooks for $x each and 4 packs of index cards for $y each. If Harry had bou

ght 5 notebooks and 5 packs of index cards, he would have run short of $18.
A student concluded that the price of each notebook is $5 and the price of each pack of index cards is $1. Which statement best justifies whether the student's conclusion is correct or incorrect?

a. The student's conclusion is incorrect because the solution to the system of equations 3x + 4y = 32 and 5x + 5y = 50 is (8, 2).
b. The student's conclusion is incorrect because the solution to the system of equations 3x + 4y = 32 and 5x + 5y = 18 is (8, 2).
c. The student's conclusion is correct because the solution to the system of equations 3x + 4y = 32 and 5x + 5y = 18 is (5, 1).
d. The student's conclusion is correct because the solution to the system of equations 3x − 4y = 32 and 5x − 5y = 50 is (5, 1).

Answer:

  a. The student's conclusion is incorrect because the solution to the system of equations 3x + 4y = 32 and 5x + 5y = 50 is (8, 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

The second equation needs to be ...

   5x +5y = 50

because the wording "short of $18" means that the actual cost of that purchase would be $18 more than the $32 that Harry had. 18+32 = 50.

The only answer choice that shows this as the second equation is choice A.

__

In fact, the solution to the system of equations is (8, 2), as can be seen in the graph below.

A meteor crater is 4000 feet in diameter. approximate the distance around the crater.
Troyanec [42]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  12,566 ft ≈ 2.38 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is given by the formula ...

  C = πd

For a diameter of 4000 ft, the circumference of a circular crater is about ...

  C = (4000 ft)(3.141593) ≈ 12,566 ft

At 5280 ft per mile, that distance is about ...

  (12,566 ft)/(5280 ft/mi) ≈ 2.38 mi

The distance around the crater is about 12,566 ft or 2.38 miles.
