A hardware store makes a mixed bag of 42 items using screws, bolts, and washers. The cost of screws are $3.00 each, bolts cost $

2.00 each, and washers are $1.50 each. The mixture calls for four times as many screws than bolts. The total cost of the mixture is $102.00. How much of each item did the store use.

The answer is 24 screws, 6 bolts, and 12 washers.

s - the number of screws
b - the number of bolts
w - the number of washes

<span>The cost of screws are $3.00 each: 3s
</span><span>The cost of bolts are $2.00 each: 2b
</span><span>The cost of washers are $1.0 each: 1.5w

</span><span>A hardware store makes a mixed bag of 42 items using screws, bolts, and washers: s + b + w = 42
</span><span>The mixture calls for four times as many screws than bolts: s = 4b
</span>The total cost of the mixture is $102.00: 3s + 2b + 1.5w = 102

The system of three equations:
(i) s + b + w = 42
(ii) s = 4b
(iii) 3s + 2b + 1.5w = 102

Substitute s from (ii) equation into (i) equation and express it in the term of w:
4b + b + w = 42
5b + w = 42
w = 42 - 5b

Substitute s from (ii) equation and w from (i) equation into (iii) equation:
3 * 4b + 2b + 1.5(42 - 5b) = 102
12b + 2b + 63 - 7.5b = 102
6.5b + 63 = 102
6.5b = 102 - 63 
6.5b = 39
b = 39 : 6.5
b = 6

s = 4b = 4 * 6 = 24

w = 42 - 5b = 42 - 5 * 6 = 42 - 30 = 12

Answer:

x = 9

Perimeter = 74

Area = 342

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find x. to do so, set your formula up as

18 = 8x - 54

18 + 54 = 8x

72 = 8x

72/8 = x

9 = x

Now that you have x, find your missing side

2x + 1 = y, x

2 * 9 + = y

19 = y

Your perimeter is P = 2(l+W)

P = 2(18 * 19)

P = 74

Your area is A = wl

A = 19 * 18

A = 342

Write the complex number in polar form with argument between 0 and 2.
pychu [463]

<em>Lets say that √(3+i) is the magnitude of your vector. In polar form, i represents the x component and j represents the y component of the vector. Therefore, the polar form is icosθ√(3+i) + jsinθ√(3+i)</em>

draw a diagram :

<em>z = r(cos θ + i sin θ), where z = complex number, r = modulus, θ = angle of rotation For the given:r = 2θ = π/6 √3 + i = 2(cos π/6 + i sin π/6)</em>
