Answer:

price for one shirt

=

$

7.50

price for one pair of pants

=

$

18.50

Explanation:

Start by letting variables

x

and

y

represent the pieces of clothing from the problem.

Let

x

be the price of one shirt.

Let

y

be the price of one pair of pants.

Equation

1

:

4

x

+

3

y

=

85.50

Equation

2

:

3

x

+

5

y

=

115.00

You can solve for each variable by using elimination or substitution. However, in this case, we will use use elimination. First, we will solve for

y

, the price of each pair of pants.

To isolate for

y

, we must eliminate

x

. We can do this by making the two equations have the same

x

values. First, we find the LCM of

4

and

3

, which is

12

. Next, multiply equation

1

by

3

and equation

2

by

4

so that

4

x

and

3

x

becomes

12

x

in both equations.

Equation

1

:

4

x

+

3

y

=

85.50

3

(

4

x

+

3

y

)

=

3

(

85.50

)

12

x

+

9

y

=

256.50

Equation

2

:

3

x

+

5

y

=

115.00

4

(

3

x

+

5

y

)

=

4

(

115.00

)

12

x

+

20

y

=

460.00

Now that we have two equations with

12

x

, we can subtract equation

2

from equation

1

to solve for

y

.

12

x

+

9

y

=

256.50

12

x

+

20

y

=

460.00

−

11

y

=

−

203.50

y

=

18.50

⇒

price for one pair of pants

Now that we know that a pair of pants is

$

18.50

, we can substitute this value into either equation

1

or

2

to find price for one shirt. In this case, we will choose equation

1

.

4

x

+

3

y

=

85.50

4

x

+

3

(

18.50

)

=

85.50

4

x

+

55.5

=

85.50

4

x

=

28

x

=

7.50

⇒

price for one shirt

∴

, the price for one shirt is

$

7.50

and the price for one pair of pants is

$

18.50

.

Please answer and put how

muminat

6 + m/4 = 3 (subtract 6 from both sides)
m/4 = -3 (multiply both sides by 4)
m = -12

Can plug in to original equation to check work:
6 - 12/4 = 3
6 - 3 = 3
3 = 3

The answer m = -12 checks out

What is m angle ABC

victus00 [196]

Answer:

3rd option: 60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see in the diagram that the angle on C is a supplementary angle, which means that the sum of 135 and internal angle will be equal to 180 degrees.

Let x be the internal angle,

Then

x+135 = 180

x = 180-135

x = 45 degrees

So now we know that two interior angles of the triangle.

Also we know that sum of all internal angles of triangle is 180 degrees.

Using the same postulate:

A+B+C = 180

75 + B + 45 = 180

120+B = 180

B = 180 - 120
