Let the cost of a can of tennis balls be $x and that of a sleeve of golf balls be $y.

5x + 3y = 70

2x + 5y = 85

(5x + 3y) x 2 = 70 x 2

10x + 6y = 140

(2x + 5y) x 5 = 85 x 5

10x + 25y = 425

10x + 25y -10x - 6y = 425 - 140

19y = 285

y = 15

2x + 5y = 85

2x + 75 = 85

2x = 10

x = 5

Therefore the cost of a sleeve of golf balls is $15 and that of a can of tennis balls is $5.

Answer:

t =5

g = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

t = tennis balls

g = golf balls

70 = 5t+3g

85 = 2t+5g

Multiply the first equation by -2

-2(70 = 5t+3g)

-140 = -10t -6g

Multiply the second equation by 5

5(85 = 2t+5g)

425 = 10t + 25g

Add these new equation together to eliminate t

-140 = -10t -6g

425 = 10t + 25g

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

285=0t+19g

Divide by 19

285/19 = g

15 = g

Now find t

85 = 2t+5g

85 = 2t +5(15)

85 = 2t + 75

10= 2t

t =5

Which number is greatest? 2.89 times 10 Superscript negative 8 1.997 times 10 Superscript 2 8.9 times 10 Superscript negative 6

love history [14]

<h3> The greatest number is $1.997 \times 10^2$ </h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given that the numbers are:</u></em>

$2.89 \times 10^{-8}\\\\1.997 \times 10^2\\\\8.9 \times 10^{-6}\\\\5 \times 10^{-6}$

We have to find the number that is greatest

Convert the numbers to decimal

$2.89 \times 10^{-8} = 2.89 \times \frac{1}{10^8} =0.0000000289$

$1.997 \times 10^2 = 199.7$

$8.9\times 10^{-6}=8.9\times \frac{1}{10^6}=0.0000089$

$5\times 10^{-6}=5\times \frac{1}{10^6}=0.000005$

We can clearly see that, 199.7 is greatest number

Thus the greatest number is $1.997 \times 10^2$

Determine the unit rate of the following.<br> 240 hours of homework in 8 weeks.

astra-53 [7]

Answer: $30\ \frac{hours}{week}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this exercise it is important to remember that a "Rate" is defined as a ratio that compares two different but related quantities.

Then, "Unit rate" tell us how many units of the first quantity corresponds to one unit of the second quantity. Therefore, the second quantity is equal to 1.

According to the information given in the exercise, you know that the number of hours of homework in 8 weeks is 240 hours.

Then, in order to determine the Unit rate (the number of hours per week), you need to divide 240 hours by 8 weeks.

Through the procedure explained above, you get the that the number of hours per week is the following:

$unit\ rate=\frac{240\ hours}{8\ weeks}\\\\unit\ rate=30\ \frac{hours}{week}$

(Notice that it is $30\ hours\ per\ week$ )
