3x + 2y = 36.5 \\ 2x + 5y = 50
3x + 2y = 36.5 \: \: \: (1)\\ 2x + 5y = 50 (2)\\ 2x = 50 - 5y \\ x = \frac{50 - 5y}{2} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: (3) \\ put \: 3 \: into \: 1 \\ 3 \frac{50 - 5y}{2} + 2y = 36.5 \\ \frac{150 - 15y}{2} + 2y = 36.5 \\ 2( \frac{150 - 15y}{2} + 2y) = 2(36.5) \\ 150 - 15y + 4y = 73 \\ 11y = 77 \\ y = 7 \\ 2x + 5(7) = 50 \\ x = 7.5 \\ wage \: working \: in \: coffee \: shop \: is \: higher \: for\: 7.5 \: per \: hour
the answer is D

What is the length of ST? Please explain your answer
Aliun [14]
We know that

If a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment. (Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem)

so

ST²=RT*QT

RT=7 in

QT=23+7-----> 30 in

ST²=7*30-----> 210

ST=√210-----> 14.49 in


the answer is

RT=14.49 in

Pineapple juice : orange juice : lime juice = 2:7:3
So there is 2x of pineapple juice, 7x of orange juice and 3x of lime juice.

2x+7x+3x=600 \\
12x=600 \\
x=50 \\ \\
pineapple \ juice \to 2x = 2 \times 50=100

She used 100 ml of pineapple juice.
