Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let N = how much Nellie spends

Let D = how much Debbie spends

Part A

Nellie spends $122 more than Debbie.

N= D +122

Their total expenses amount to $840.

N+D =840

The two equations are

N= D +122

N+D =840

Part B

We can substitute the first equation which is solved for N into the second equation.  Every place we see an N in the second equation, we replace it with D+122

Part C

N= D +122

N+D =840

(D+122) +D = 840

Combine like terms

2D +122 = 840

Subtract 122 from each side

2D+122-122=840-122

2D =718

Divide by 2

2D/2= 718/2

D =359

Debbie spends 359

The flagpole in front of VHS 50 feet tall. The angle of elevation from the end of its shadow to the top of the flagpole is 46°.
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The length of the shadow is 48.28 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The flagpole at its shadow form a 46, 44, 90 triangle.

Let AB be the flagpole.  AC is the shadow.

Let's use the sine law to calculate AC.

\frac{AC}{sin(44)}=\frac{50}{sin(46)}\\AC=\sin(44)*\frac{50}{sin(46)}AC=48.28

A car salesman has 8 used cars for sale. They have a mean price of $4500. What is the total price of all 8 cars?
muminat

Answer:

$36000

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a mean price of $4500 this means that in the 8 cars we have cars with higer and lower prices than $4500 but that if we have to give the same price to 8 cars that would be $4500. Then to know the total price of the all 8 cars we just have to multiply:

\$4500\cdot 8=$36000
