Hi,

$( - 9) - ( - 13) + (3) \\ - 9 - ( - 13) + (3) \\ - 9 + 13 + 3 = 7$

Hope this helps.

Find the area of this shape. Correct answer will Brainliest

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

As shown in picture, this is a trapezoid.

The area of a trapezoid is calculated by:

A = (base1 + base2) x height x (1/2)

To work out A, we need to find out base1, base2, and height.

base1 = YZ = $\sqrt{(Zx - Yx)^{2} + (Zy - Yy)^{2} } = \sqrt{(5 - 2)^{2} + (5 - 5)^{2} } = 3$

base2 = XW = $\sqrt{(Wx - Xx)^{2} + (Wy - Xy)^{2} } = \sqrt{(8 - 1)^{2} + (1 - 1)^{2} } = 7$

Otherwise, the height (distance between base1 and base2) is 4 as shown in picture.

=> A = (3 + 7) x 4 x (1/2) = 20

Hope this helps!

The residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 5 to 3 . If there were

First you divide 4955 by 5 to get 991, then you multiply that by 3 to get 2973, the amount of no votes, then you add those together to get 7928 total votes

You are fundraising for the schools track team by selling clothing. The first day, you sell 13 t-shirts and 17 pairs of shorts f

Anastasy [175]

Answers:

one t-shirt costs $10

one pair of shorts costs $15

============================================================

Explanation:

x = cost of one t-shirt

y = cost of one pair of shorts

13x+17y = 385 is the first equation because 13x represents the money you get from selling 13 shirts, and the 17y represents the amount you get from selling 17 shorts. The total 13x+17y is given to be $385

The second equation is 13x+12y = 310 for similar reasoning, but this time you sell 12 shorts this time and you get $310 in revenue.

The system of equations we have is:

$\begin{cases}13x+17y = 385\\13x+12y=310\end{cases}$

There are a few ways to solve this system. Possibly the quickest method is to note that the 13x shows up twice, so we can subtract straight down to eliminate the x terms

So,

13x-13x becomes 0x or just 0, and the x terms go away.
17y-12y becomes 5y
385-310 becomes 75

After those three subtractions, we have the equation 5y = 75 which solves to y = 15 after dividing both sides by 5. This means the cost of one pair of shorts is $15

Plug this y value into any equation involving x and y, and solve for x

13x+17y = 385

13x+17(15) = 385

13x+255 = 385

13x = 385-255

13x = 130

x = 130/13

x = 10

Therefore, each t-shirt costs $10

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

To help verify the answer, plug (x,y) = (10,15) into each equation. We should end up with a true result after simplifying both sides.

Start with the first equation

13x+17y = 385

13(10)+17(15) = 385

130+255 = 385

385 = 385

We get a true result which confirms the first equation.

Repeat for the second equation.

13x+12y = 310

13(10)+12(15) = 310

130+180 = 310

310 = 310

Both equations are true so (x,y) = (10, 15) has been fully confirmed.
