Question is Incomplete; Complete question is given below;

Cloud Nine is having a sale on all shirts and pants in the store. Olivia purchased 8 shirts and 4 pairs of pants for $176. Raheem purchased 3 shirts and 4 pairs of pants for $116. Let x represent the price of a shirt and y represent the price of a pair of pants. Write a system of equations, and use the elimination method to find a reasonable price for a pair of pants.

Answer:

The system of equations are $\left \{ {{8x+4y=176} \atop {3x+4y=116}} \right.$

The reasonable price for pair of pants is $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of shirt be 'x'.

Let price of pair of pants be 'y'.

Given:

Olivia purchased 8 shirts 4 pairs of pants for $176

So we can say that;

8 multiplied by the price of shirt plus 4 multiplied by the price of pair of pants is equal to 176.

framing in equation form we get;

$8x+4y=176 \ \ \ \ equation \ 1$

Also Given:

Raheem purchased 3 shirts and 4 pairs of pants for 116.

So we can say that;

3 multiplied by the price of shirt plus 4 multiplied by the price of pair of pants is equal to 116.

framing in equation form we get;

$3x+4y=116 \ \ \ \ equation \ 2$

Hence the system of equation are $\left \{ {{8x+4y=176} \atop {3x+4y=116}} \right.$

Now by using elimination method we will subtract equation 2 from equation 1 we get;

$(8x+4y)-(3x+4y)=176-116\\\\8x+4y-3x-4y = 60\\\\5x =60\\\\x=\frac{60}{5}=\$12$

Now Substituting the value of x in equation 1 we get;

$8x+4y=176\\\\8\times 12+4y =176\\\\96+4y=176\\\\4y =176-96\\\\4y = 80\\\\y= \frac{80}{4} =\$ 20$

Hence The reasonable price for pair of pants is $20.

Malia did push-ups and pull-ups in her physical education class. She did 24 push-ups and pull-ups combined, with each push-up ta

Paul [167]

Answer:

12 pull

As 48 seconds + 20 seconds push = 68 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Because she did 10 push = 20 seconds = 2 seconds each

12 pull = 48 seconds = 4 seconds each

= 68 seconds combined.

Workings;

18 seconds found for the first set

We then find a divider of 68 and know that

6 x 3 = 18 seconds push

12 x 3 =36 seconds pull T= 54

14 left over = 1 x 12 seconds pull

+ 2 seconds push

= 10 push = 20 seconds combined.

= 12 pull = 48 seconds combined.

Angle∠efg and angle∠gfh are a linear pair, mangle∠efgequals=55nplus+2020, and mangle∠gfhequals=33nplus+1616. what are mangle∠e

mylen [45]

A linear pair is a pair of angles that form a line. When added, they will equal 180.

< EFG + < GFH = 180
5n + 20 + 3n + 16 = 180
8n + 36 = 180
8n = 180 - 36
8n = 144
n = 144/8
n = 18

< EFG = 5n + 20.....5(18) + 20 = 110 <==
< GFH = 3n + 16.....3(18) + 16 = 70 <==
