The price of jacket was $24.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Cost of jacket = x

Cost of pair of shoes = y

According to given statement;

x+y=52.95   Eqn 1

x = y-3.87    Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

(y-3.87)+y=52.95\\y-3.87+y=52.95\\2y=52.95+3.87\\2y=56.82\\

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{56.82}{2}\\y=28.41

Putting y=28.41 in Eqn 2,

x=28.41-3.87\\x=24.54

The price of jacket was $24.54

Work out the size of angle X.​
larisa [96]

Answer:

x = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

The external angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

120° is an external angle of the triangle, thus

x + 50 = 120 ( subtract 50 from both sides )

x = 70

A one year membership to a gym Costa $725 the registration fee is $125 and the remaining amount la paid monthly define a variabl
konstantin123 [22]

Heyo. Let's go ahead and set this problem up

It should look like this

12x + 125 = 725

The variables can be another letter, doesn't matter.

12 will stand for the months in a year

x is the amount paid per month

125 is the registration free

725 is the one year membership total


Subtract both sides by 125 to get:

12x = 600

Divide both sides by 12 to get:

x=50

That being said, each month, a new member will pay $50.
