Answer:
Each shirt cost $<u>7</u> and each pair of shorts cost $<u>17</u> .
Step-by-step explanation:
let shirts be represented as x
let shorts be represented as y
Younger brother spent $79 on 4 new shirts and 3 pairs of shorts.
4 x + 3 y = $79 .......equation 1
Older brother purchased 7 new shirts and 8 pairs of shorts and paid a total of $185.
7 x + 8 y = $185 .......equation 2
multiply equation 1 by 7 and equation 2 by -4 and add both equations to get the value of y.
7 × (4 x + 3 y = $79) ⇒ +28 x + 21 y = $553
-4 × (7 x + 8 y = $185) ⇒ <u> -28 x - 32 y = - $740</u>
0 - 11 y = - $187 ⇒ -11 y = - $187
y =
⇒ y = $17
shorts = y = $17
put value of y in equation 1
4 x + 3 ( $17 ) = $79 ⇒ 4x + $51 = $79 ⇒ 4x = $79 - $51
4x = $28 ⇒ x =
⇒ x = $7
Shirts = x = $7
I did the calculations two ways. The last data item was 185.00!
I wasn't sure if this was correct or a typo. With 185.00: mean 33.31. STD dev 53.68. With 185.00 changed to 18.50: mean 14.81 std dev 2.75
Answer:
h = 13ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We can assume that the triangles are similar, so:
5 ft is to 26 ft as 2.5 ft is to h ft.
Which can be set up like this:
![\frac{5}{2.5}=\frac{26}{h}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B2.5%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B26%7D%7Bh%7D)
We can cross multiply:
5h = (2.5) (26)
5h = 65
h = 13ft
i calculated it and it is 13 if im wrong i at leased helped
13 + (-12) - (-5) =
13 - 12 + 5 =
1 + 5
