You bought 4 video games which will cost 32 and bought 2 movies which cost 20. So if you add 32+20=52. You get $52. Hoped this helped.

Set up a system of equations:

x + y = 6
8x + 10y = 52

Where 'x' is the number of $8 videos and 'y' is the number of $10 videos.

x + y = 6

Subtract 'x' to both sides:

y = -x + 6

Plug in '-x + 6' for 'y' in the 2nd equation:

8x + 10y = 52

8x + 10(-x + 6) = 52

Distribute 10 into the parenthesis:

8x - 10x + 60 = 52

Combine like terms:

-2x + 60 = 52

Subtract 60 to both sides:

-2x = -8

Divide -2 to both sides:

x = 4

So you bought four $8 videos.

Answer:

The piano was in the air for 18.34 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the piano after t seconds is given by the following equation:

$f(t) = -16t^{2} + 320t - 256$

Initially, the piano is below the ground level. At the first root of the equation, it will go into the air, and then some time after that it will fall down again, which is at the second root of the equation.
