You go shopping at a local department store with your friend and cousin. You buy one pair of jeans, four pairs of shorts, and tw

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer: Cost per pair of jeans = $ 20

Cost per pair of shorts = $12

Cost per shirt = $8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= cost per pair of jeans

y = Cost per pair of shorts

z= cost per shirt.

For you, total cost = x+4y+2z= 84

For your friend, total cost = 2x+y+3z=76

For cousin, total cost = x+2y+z= 52

Required system:

$x+4y+2z=84\ (i)\\ 2x+y+3z=76\ (ii)\\ x+2y+z=52\ (iii)$

from (i), $x=84-4y-2z$ (*)

put this in (ii) and (iii) we get

$2\left(84-4y-2z\right)+y+3z=76\\\Rightarrow\ -7y-z+168=76\ (iv)\\\\ 84-4y-2z+2y+z=52\\\Rightarrow\ -2y-z+84=52 \ (v)$

from (iv), $y=-\frac{z-92}{7}\ (vi)$

$\mathrm{Subsititute\:}y=-\frac{z-92}{7}\ \text{in}\ (v)$

$-2\left(-\frac{z-92}{7}\right)-z+84=52\\\\\Rightarrow\ -2\left(-\frac{z-92}{7}\right)-z=-32\\\\\Rightarrow\ -\frac{5z}{7}-\frac{184}{7}=-32\\\\\Rightarrow\ -5z-184=-224\\\\\Rightarrow\ -5z=-40\\\\\Rightarrow\ z=8$

$\mathrm{Subsititute\:}z=8\text{ in (vi)}$

$y=-\frac{8-92}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow \ y=12$

$\mathrm{Subsititute\:}z=8,\:y=12\text{ in (*)}$

$x=84-4\cdot \:12-2\cdot \:8\\\\\Rightarrow\ x= 20$

Hence, x= 20, y= 12 , z=8

So, Cost per pair of jeans = $ 20

Cost per pair of shorts = $12

Cost per shirt = $8

An accident at an oil drilling platform is causing a circular oil slick. The slick is 0.07 foot thick, and when the radius of th

ololo11 [35]

Answer: $43.54 ft^3/min$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Thickness of oil slick=0.07 foot

radius of slick=110 ft

$\frac{\mathrm{d} r}{\mathrm{d} t}=0.9 ft/s$

Let V be the volume of oil slick

so, $V=0.07\pi \cdot r^2$

rate of oil flowing is

$\frac{\mathrm{d} V}{\mathrm{d} t}=0.07\times 2\pi \cdot r\frac{\mathrm{d} r}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} V}{\mathrm{d} t}=0.07\times 2\pi \times 110\times 0.9=43.54 ft^3/min$
