Answer:

$22.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent cost of each shirt and y represent cost of each shorts.

We have been given that a shirt costs $15 more than a pair of shorts. We can represent this information in an equation as:

y=x-15...(1)

We are also told that Terrell paid $101 for 3 shirts and 5 pairs of shorts. We can represent this information in an equation as:

3x+5y=101...(2)

Upon substituting equation (1) in equation (2), we will get:

3x+5(x-15)=101

3x+5x-75=101

8x-75=101

8x-75+75=101+75

8x=176

\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{176}{8}

x=22

Therefore, the cost of each shirt is $22.

Mrs. Bailey gives a test, and her students’ scores range from 30 to 70. She decides to curve the scores, so that they range from
Harman [31]

Answer:

f(x) = x*3/4 + 42.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The original difference between the pair is 70 - 30 = 40

The new difference between the pair is 95 - 65 = 30

Since the differences are not the same, Mrs Bailey must first perform a (slope) multiplication by a factor of 30/40 or 3/4

Then 30 * 3/4 = 22.5

Then she can shift the scores up by 65 - 22.5 = 42.5 in order to get the range from 65 to 95

Therefore, f(x) = x*3/4 + 42.5. We can test that

f(30) = 30*3/4 + 42.5 = 65

f(70) = 70*3/4 + 42.5 = 95

Given Sin x= 0.5, what is cos x?
Svetllana [295]
Sin x = 0.5
sin x = 1/2
sin x = opp/hyp
therefore the ratio of opp/hyp = 1/2, (opp = 1, hyp = 2)

Find the opp side

1² + x² = 2²
1 + x² = 4
x² = 4 -1
x² = 3
x =√3

The opp side is √3

cos x = opp/hyp = √3/2 = 0.87 (round to the nearest hundredths)

Whats the value of x and what is the length of side UW
solmaris [256]

We will calculate this by using ratios and because these two triangles are similar, which is very important.

Explanation:

We see that the FG = 9 corresponds to the VU = 21. Therefore, FH = 18 corresponds to the UW = x.

9 : 21 = 18 : x

x = (21*18)/9

x = 378/9

x = 42.

The correct answer is B. 42.
