Answer:

Each shirt cost $<u>7</u>  and each pair of shorts cost $<u>17</u> .

Step-by-step explanation:

let shirts be represented as x

let shorts be represented as y

Younger brother spent $79 on 4 new shirts and 3 pairs of shorts.

4 x + 3 y = $79    .......equation 1

Older brother purchased 7 new shirts and 8 pairs of shorts and paid a total of $185.

7 x + 8 y = $185  .......equation 2

multiply equation 1 by 7 and equation 2 by -4 and add both equations to get the value of y.

7 × (4 x + 3 y = $79)     ⇒             +28 x + 21 y = $553

-4 × (7 x + 8 y = $185)  ⇒             <u> -28 x - 32 y = - $740</u>

                                                          0   - 11 y   = - $187     ⇒  -11 y   = - $187

y = \frac{- $187}{- 11}   ⇒   y = $17

shorts = y = $17

put value of y in equation 1

4 x + 3 ( $17 ) = $79  ⇒    4x + $51 = $79   ⇒   4x = $79 - $51

4x = $28   ⇒  x = \frac{$28}{4}   ⇒   x = $7

Shirts = x = $7

What is the area? Please explain steps so I can attempt to understand
yarga [219]

Answer:

12 \sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use hypotenuse formula

45-45-90 isosceles right triangle

so, 45= x

x² + x² = 24²

2x² = 24²

x²= 24.12

x= \sqrt{288}  = 12 \sqrt{2}

or :

you can use this rule: if you see a 45 45 90 isosceles right triagngle (you can look picture) 45=a cm and 90 = a\sqrt{2}

cm

so ;

a \sqrt{2}  = 24

a= 12 \sqrt{2}

hope this helps ^-^
