Answer:

The cost to rent each chair and each table are $1.5 and $8.75 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent 1 chair

Let y represent 1 table

Therefore

3x + 2y = 22   ------------(1)

5x + 6y = 60   ------------(2)

Multiply (1) by 5 and (2) by 3

15x + 10y = 110   ----------(3)

15x + 18y = 180  ------------(4)

Subtract (3) from (4)

8y = 70

Divide through by 8

y = $8.75

Substitute y = 8.75 in (1)

3x + 2y = 22

3x + 2(8.75) = 22

3x + 17.5 = 22

Collect like terms

3x = 22 - 17.5

3x = 4.5

Divide through by 3

x =$1.5

A line passes through the points (9,6) and (6,5). What is its equation in slope-intercept form?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Y=X/3+3

Step-by-step explanation:

M= Y2-Y1/X2-X1

  = 5-6/6-9

  = -1/-3

  = 1/3

sub x=6, y=5, M=1/3 into Y=MX+C

5=6/3+C

5=2+C

5-2= 2+C-2

3=C

The length of the base of an isosceles triangle is x. The length of a leg is 4x-6. The perimeter of the triangle is 60. Find x.
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Perimeter of a triangle = add all sides

Both the legs of the isosceles triangle are always EQUAL.

x+4x-6+4x-6 = 60

9x-12 = 60

9x = 60+12

9x = 72

x = 8
