cost of pencil = x = 0.07

and cost of eraser = y = 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

let cost of pencil = x

and cost of eraser = y

So, we have equations:

4x+3y=0.37\\3x+4y=0.33

Solving both equations to find value of x and y

Let:

4x+3y=0.37\,\,\,eq(1)\\3x+4y=0.33\,\,\,eq(2)

Multiply eq(1) with 4 and eq(2) with 3 and subtract

16x+12y=1.48\\9x+12y=0.99\\-\,\,\,-\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,-\\--------\\7x=0.49\\x=0.07

Putting value of x in equation 1:

4x+3y=0.37\\4(0.07)+3y=0.37\\0.28+3y=0.37\\3y=0.37-0.28\\3y=0.09\\y=0.03

So, x= 0.07 and  y = 0.03

cost of pencil = x = 0.07

and cost of eraser = y = 0.03

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing length in the following right triangle.
lesantik [10]
Hello there!


The Pythagorean Theorem is:

a² + b² = c²

We have b = 48 and c = 50

Remember: The hypotenuse is always longer.

a² + 48² = 50²

a² + 2304 = 2500

a² = 2500 - 2304

a² = 196

a = √196

a = 14

The missing length is 14.

Let me know if you have any questions. As always, it is my pleasure to help students like you!

You have 1,000,000 number cubes, each measuring one inch on a side. if you layered the cubes to make one big cube what would be
azamat

Answer:

100 x 100 x 100 number cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

It's basically a volume problem.  The question is asking if you made a big cube filled with smaller cubes , specifically 1,000,000 of them, what are the dimensions of this big cube.  Or in other words the volume is 1,000,000.  Now how do we find the volume of a cube?  length times width times height, and witht he cubes each of those are the same so we can call them all x.

Now we just set up the equation where we have the equation whatever one side is times itself  three times, (or x cubed) it will equal 1,000,000 or x^3=1,000,000,000.  Now you just take the cube root of 1,000,000 which gets us 100.  so the length, width and height are 100 small cubes.

ABCD is a square. The perimeter is 200 ft. AB = 5x + 20. Find the value of x.
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Each side equals 50ft. 5x+20=50

minus 20 on both sides

5x=30

divide by 5 on both sides

x=6
