6 stools and 4chairs cost$58 but 5 stools and 2 chairs cost$ 35 find the cost of each stool and each chair

1 answer:

6 0

Stool = s, chair = c
6s+4c=58 ---(1)
5s+2c=35 ---(2)

(2)*2; 10s+4c=70 ---(3)
(3)-(1); 4s=12
so s=3
from (2)
5s+2c= 35
5(3)+2c=35
2c = 35-15
2c = 20
so c=10

then the cost of each stool is $3 and the cost of each chair is $10

Solve for x:<br> 1 1/5x−2 1/3<1/7x+1 1/2

Mashcka [7]

Answer: $x$

Step-by-step explanation:

$1\frac{1}{5}x-2\frac{1}{3}$

Add $2\frac{1}{3}$ on both sides and subtract $\frac{1}{7}x$ on both sides to leave x's on the left side and independent values on the right.

$(2\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{7}x) +1\frac{1}{5}x-2\frac{1}{3}$

$1\frac{1}{5}x-\frac{1}{7}x$

Solve the fractions.

$1(\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{7})x$

$1(\frac{(1)(7)-(5)(1)}{(5)(7)} )x$

$1(\frac{7-5}{35} )x$

$1(\frac{2}{35} )x$

$1\frac{2}{35}x$

Convert the mixed fraction $1\frac{2}{35}$ to an improper fraction. You can do this by multiplying 1 times 35 and adding 2.

$\frac{37}{35}x$

Now use the reciprocal (inverse fraction) and multiply on both sides to isolate x.

$(\frac{35}{37}) (\frac{37}{35})x$

$x$

What is 2378/2 into a mixed number

Volgvan

There no way that you can make this a mixed number unless you don't simplify all the way, which goes against the laws of math. I guess a fraction out of the answer would be 1189/1...

Please help Let f(x)=2x^2+x-3 and g(x)=x-1. Perform the indicated operation, then find the domain. (F-g)(x)

Vesna [10]

F(x) = 2x² + x - 3
g(x) = x - 1
(f - g)(x) = (2x² + x - 3) - (x - 1)
(f - g)(x) = 2x² + (x - x) + (-3 + 1)
(f - g)(x) = 2x² - 2

The answer is D.
