The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

You and your friend are selling magazine subscriptions. You sell 8 fewer magazine subscriptions than your friend. Together you sell 42 magazine subscriptions. Write a system of linear equations that represents this situation.

The system of linear equations that represents this situation is:

x + y = 42

x - y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem assume that

  • x represent the number of magazine subscriptions that your friend sell
  • y represents the number of magazine subscriptions that you sell

∵ Your friend sells x magazine subscriptions

∵ You sell y magazine subscriptions

∵ Together you sell 42 magazine subscriptions

∴ x + y = 42 ⇒ (1)

∵ You sell 8 fewer magazine subscriptions than your friend

∵ Your friend sells x magazine subscriptions

∵ You sell y magazine subscriptions

- That means y = x - 8

∴ y = x - 8

- Add 8 for both sides

∴ 8 + y = x

- Subtract y from both sides

∴ 8 = x - y

- Switch the two sides

∴ x - y = 8 ⇒ (2)

The system of linear equations that represents this situation is:

x + y = 42

x - y = 8

Answer:  c. 7,999,999 phone numbers

A can be any digit 2-9, then there are 8 possible numbers.

B can be any digit 0-9, then there are 10 possible numbers.

C can be any digit 0-9, then there are 10 possible numbers.

X can be any digit 0-9, then there are 10 possible numbers.

X can be any digit 0-9, then there are 10 possible numbers.

X can be any digit 0-9, then there are 10 possible numbers.

X can be any digit 0-9, then there are 10 possible numbers.

Then are possible: 8·10·10·10·10·10·10 = 8·10⁶ = 8,000,000 phone numbers

But the number 867-5309 is not used then 8,000,000 - 1 = 7,999,999 possible phone numbers.

Answer: c. 7,999,999 phone numbers

F the angle of elevation from the point on the ground to the top of the tree is 34° and the point is 25 feet from the base of th
Viktor [21]

<u>Given:</u>

The angle of elevation from the point on the ground to the top of the tree is 34° and the point is 25 feet from the base of the tree.

We need to determine the height of the tree.

<u>Height of the tree:</u>

Let the height of the tree be h.

The height of the tree can be determined using the trigonometric ratio.

Thus, we have;

tan \ \theta=\frac{opp}{adj}

Substituting the values, we get;

tan \ 34^{\circ}=\frac{h}{25}

Multiplying both sides by 25, we have;

tan \ 34^{\circ} \times 25=h

 0.6745 \times 25=h

       16.8625=h

Rounding off to the nearest tenth of a foot, we get;

16.9=h

Thus, the height of the tree is 16.9 feet.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
