Answer:
Cost of a T-shirt is £4
Cost of a Hat is £1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let T be the cost of each T-shirt and H the cost of each hat
We get two equations based on the cost description
3T + 2H = 14 ...... (1)
2T + 7H = 15 ...... (2)
Multiply (1) by 2 and (2) by 3 so that the T terms are the same
(1) x 2 ==> 6T + 4H = 28 ... (3)
(2) x 3 ==> 6T + 21H = 45 ... (4)
Subtract (3) from (4) to eliminate the T terms
21H - 4H = 45 - 28 or 17H = 17 ==> H = 1
Substituting the value of H in either (1) or (2) will give us a value for T
Substitute in (1)
3T + 2*1 = 14 ==> 3T = 12, T = 4
Check
In (1) 3 *4 + 2 *1 = 14
In (2) 2*4 + 7*1 = 15
So satisfies both equations
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Reduce a 24 cm by 36 cm photo to 3/4 original size.
The most logical way to do this is to keep the width-to-height ratio the same: It is 24/36, or 2/3. The original photo has an area of (24 cm)(36 cm) = 864 cm^2.
Let's reduce that to 3/4 size: Mult. 864 cm^2 by (3/4). Result: 648 cm^2.
We need to find new L and new W such that W/L = 2/3 and WL = 648 cm^2.
From the first equation we get W = 2L/3. Thus, WL = 648 cm^2 = (2L/3)(L).
Solve this last equation for L^2, and then for L:
2L^2/3 = 648, or (2/3)L^2 = 648. Thus, L^2 = (3/2)(648 cm^2) = 972 cm^2.
Taking the sqrt of both sides, L = + 31.18 cm. Then W must be 2/3 of that, or W = 20.78 cm.
Check: is LW = (3/4) of the original 864 cm^2? YES.
