Answer:

3x +4y = 118

5x+6y =180

y= $25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the cost of a flashlight

Let y = the cost of a sleeping bag

3x +4y = 118

5x+6y =180

Multiply the first equation by -5

-5(3x +4y) = -5*118

-15x -20y = -590


Multiply the second equation by 3

3(5x+6y) =3*180

15x + 18y = 540

Add the modified equations together.

We are using elimination to eliminate the variable x

-15x -20y = -590

15x + 18y = 540

----------------------------

-2y = -50

Divide by -2

-2y/-2 = -50/-2

y =25

Each sleeping bag costs $25

PLEASE HELP ASAPPP!!! 15PT QUESTION!!! Suppose that a ball is rolling down a ramp. The distance traveled by the ball is given by
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

The average velocity of the ball is 137.5 \:ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the velocities at given times and then form two points. Calculate the slope to find the average velocity. The two points are:

\left(6,\:396\right)\quad and \quad \:\left(6.5,\:464.75\right)

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{464.75-396}{6.5-6}

m=137.5

Best Regards!
