Let n = cost of 1 notebook
Let p = cost of 1 pencil

Then,

3n + 4p = 8.5
5n + 8p = 14.5

You can solve for one variable in terms of the other and then substitute into the remaining equation.

3n + 4p = 8.5
+ 5n + 8p = 14.5

Multiply the top equation by -2 so that the p-containing terms cancel each other out:

-2(3n + 4p = 8.5)
+ 5n + 8p = 14.5
-n + 0 = -2.5

So after dividing both sides by -1, we see that n = $2.5. Plugging into the first equation gives p = $0.25.


3n + 4p = 8.5
5n + 8p = 14.5

Use Pascal's Triangle to determine the second term of the expansion of (x - 2)^5
goldfiish [28.3K]

Pascal's triangle up to the 5th iteration is

\begin{array}{cccccc}1\\1&1\\1&2&1\\1&3&3&1\\1&4&6&4&1\\1&5&10&10&5&1\end{array}

This tells us

(x-2)^5=\boxed{1}x^5(-2)^0+\boxed{5}x^4(-2)^1+\boxed{10}x^3(-2)^2+\boxed{10}x^2(-2)^3+\boxed{5}x^1(-2)^4+\boxed{1}x^0(-2)^5

so the second term in the expansion is

5x^4(-2)^1=\boxed{-10x^4}

Use the scale drawing and the scale factor to enlarge a square that has a side length of 12 in. Scale factor= 3 in:2m.
podryga [215]

Given:

The side of square = 12 in.

Scale factor of enlargement = 3 in : 2 m

To find:

The proportion that is use to solve the side length, x, of the enlarged square.

Solution:

Let, the side of length of enlarged square = x m

In case of enlargement the corresponding sides are proportional.

\dfrac{3}{12}=\dfrac{2}{x}

3x=2\times 12

3x=24

Divide both sides by 3.

x=\dfrac{24}{3}

x=8

Therefore, the required proportion is \dfrac{3}{12}=\dfrac{2}{x} and the side length of the square after enlargement is 8 m.

If the top of a 4.50 m ladder reaches twice as far up a vertical wall as the foot of the
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

4 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of ladder, L = 4.50 m

Base of ladder from the wall, B = x

Height of the wall, H = 2x

Using Pythagoras theorem

L^2 = B^2 + H^2

4.5^2 = x^2 + (2x)^2

5x^2 = 4.5^2

x = 2\ m\ (approx.)

Height of the wall  is equal to 2 x 2 = 4 m.
