Answer: $12

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we can use system of equations to solve. Let's use x for shirts and y for ties.

Equation 1

6x+3y=79.5

This equation comes from the first sentence. 79.5 is the total cost.

Equation 2

3x+2y=41

This equation comes from the second part of the first sentence. 41 is the total cost.

Since we are looking for the cost of each shirt, let's use the elimination method to eliminate y. First, we need to multiply both equations to that the y in both equations equal each other.

2(6x+3y=79.5)

3(3x+2y=41)

Now that we have chosen a common number, we can multiply.

12x+6y=159

9x+6y=123

We can now subtract both equations to cancel out y.

3x=36

Divide to get x alone.

x=12

Each shirt costs $12.

This is a polygon. I can’t find the missing angle ?
siniylev [52]
This is a lot of calculation.

So we know that the sum of angles for any heptagon is 900, because heptagon can be divided into five non-overlapping triangles and sum of angles of each triangle is 180.

Now you just add up all angles and simplify the equation:

900 = (6x - 8) + 120 + (7x - 64) + (5x - 4) + 135 + (3x + 31) + (4x + 15)

900 = <span>25x + 225

Now it's just regular algebra equation. You can solve for x:

675 = 25x

x = </span>27

So the value of x is 27

Please help! (I'll give brainliest to the first right answer.)
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

1. 2,3; -2, 3

2. Both points share common values, but their absolute values for the x-value vary.

3. 2,3; 2, -3

4. Both points share common values, but their absolute values for the y-value vary.  

Step-by-step explanation:

For 1, the answer is thus:

-On the graph, the original point is 2, 3.

-A reflection over the y-axis changes the x-value, so it would be -2,3.

Similar for the next chart:

-The initial point is 2,3.

-A reflection over the x-axis changes the y-value, so the reflected point would be 2, -3.

The explanation is:

Both points have similar values except with differences in the absolute value.

Hope this helps you.
