She bought 11 shirts and 4 pants

Let x= pants
Let y= shirts


x+y=15
x+7=y
x=y-7
(y-7)+y=15
2y=22
y=11

x+y=15
11+x=15
x=4

Therefore, Elaine bought 11 shirts and 4 pants

Answer:

11 shirts and 4 pants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of shirts and y be the number of pants,

So, the total shirts and pants = x + y

According to the question,

x + y = 15 ----(1),

Also, shirts are 7 more than pants,

i.e. x = y + 7

Substitute this value in equation (1),

y + 7 + y = 15

2y + 7 = 15

2y = 8

⇒ y = 4

Again from equation (1),

x + 4 = 15

⇒ x = 11

Hence, she bought 11 shirts and 4 pants.

What is the image of point (0,3) for mapping (x,y) (x-2,y-3)
Ann [662]
When it asks for the image, that means what are your new coordinates after doing the rules they give you. In this, the rule is to subtract 2 from your x value and subtract 3 from the y value. So you subtract 2 from 0 and subtract 3 from 3. This will give you the values to use for the x and y of your answer:)

Answer:

In order of the paragraph:

3, isosceles, greater, 3 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The first drop box has to be 3 because if you add up two sides of a triangle, the sum has to be greater than the third side. If two sides are equal, the triangle is isosceles. The third side cannot be 1 since 1+1 is not greater than 3. So the third side must measure 3in.
