Complete Question:

Mike took clothes to the cleaners three times last month.​ First, brought 4 shirts and 1 pair of slacks and paid ​$11.45. Then brought ​7 shirts, 2 pairs of​ slacks, and 2 sports and paid ​$35.39. ​Finally, brought 5 shirts and 2 sports and paid ​$21.43 . How much was charged for each​ shirt, each pair of​ slacks, and each sports​ coat?

Answer:

The charges

For each Shirt = $1.49

For each pair of slacks = $5.49

For each sports coat = $6.99

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Shirt = a

Let pair of slacks = b

Let sports coat = c

First, brought 4 shirts and 1 pair of slacks and paid ​$11.45

= 4a + b = 11.45 ..........Equation 1

b = 11.45 - 4a

Then brought ​7 shirts, 2 pairs of​ slacks, and 2 sports and paid ​$35.39

= 7a + 2b + 2c = 35.39.........Equation 2

5 shirts and 2 sports and paid ​$21.43

5a + 2c = 21.43............Equation 3

Hence:

4a + b = 11.45 ..........Equation 1

7a + 2b + 2c = 35.39.........Equation 2

Using elimination method

Multiply Equation 2 by the coefficient of b = 1 in Equation 1

Multiply Equation 1 by the coefficient of b = 2 in Equation 2

8a + 2b = 22.9 .......Equation 4

7a + 2b + 2c = 35.39.........Equation 2

Subtracting Equation 2 from Equation 4

= a - 2c = -12.49 ........Equation 5

a = -12.49 + 2c

Subtituting -12.49 + 2c for a in Equation 3

5a + 2c = 21.43............Equation 3

5(-12.49 + 2c) + 2c = 21.43

= -62.45 + 10c + 2c = 21.43

Collecting like terms

10c + 2c = 21.43 + 62.45

12c = 83.88

c = 83.88/12

c = 6.99

5a + 2c = 21.43............Equation 3

Substituting 6.99 for c in Equation 3

5a + 2(6.99) = 21.43

5a + 13.98 = 21.43

5a = 21.43 - 13.98

5a = 7.45

a = 7.45/5

a = 1.49

4a + b = 11.45 ..........Equation 1

Substituting 1.49 for a in Equation 1

4(1.49) + b = 11.45

b = 11.45 - 4(1.49)

b = 11.45 - 5.96

b = 5.49

Therefore, since the charges

For each shirt = a

The charges for each Shirt = $1.49

For each pair of slacks = b

The charges for each pair of slacks = $5.49

For each sports coat = c

The charges for each sports coat = $6.99

(a²b²-c²)(a²b²+c²)<br>simplify​
liraira [26]

Answer:

a⁴b⁴ - c⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of squares formula states that (a - b)(a + b) = a² - b². In this case, a = a²b² and b = c² so a² - b² = (a²b²)² - (c²)² = a⁴b⁴ - c⁴.

Find the volume of this sphere.<br> Use 3 for TT.<br> V [?]in3<br> V = Tr3<br> 8 in
frutty [35]

Answer:

The volume of the sphere is 2048 in³.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere is given by:

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

Where:

r: is the radius = 8 in

Having the radius and by using 3 for π, the volume is:

V = \frac{4}{3}*3 (8 in)^{3} = 2048 in^{3}

Therefore, the volume of the sphere is 2048 in³.

I hope it helps you!
