Answer:

200 miles

Explaination:

in order to fiind the point of interaction you must put the world problem into an liner equation.

y=mx+b

key:

miles : x

y= 0.70x + 120

&

y= 0.90x + 80

now you put them together

0.70x + 120 = 0.90x + 80

-0.70x. -0.70x

____________________ subtract slope from both sides

120 = 0.20x + 80. ( doesn't matter which one)

-80 - 80

____________________ subtract

40 = 0.20x

_________ Divide each # with the slope

0.20 0.20

200 = x

hope this helps!

The total cost of a sweater and a pair of pants was $89.47. If the price of the sweater was $8.53 less than the pair of pants, w
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Let S = price of sweater

Let P = price of pants

S + P = 89.47 because that was the total spent

S = P - 8.53   because the sweater is 8.53 less than pants

Substitute P-8.53 in place of S in the

1st equation and solve for P

P - 8.53 + P = 89.47

2P - 8.53 = 89.47     add 8.53 to both sides

2P = 89.47 + 8.53

2P = 98.00  divide both sides by 2

P = 98.00/2

P = $49.00

S = P - 8.53

S = 49.00-8.53

S = $40.47

A sweater costs $40.47 and the pants cost $49.00

Tamiku [17]
Ni : Zn: Cu = 7:2:9 =7x : 2x : 9x

7x+2x+9x = 3.8
18x=3.8
x=3.8/18=1.9/9≈0.21

Ni:   7x=7*0.21=1.47 ≈1.5 kg
Zn:  2x=2*0.21=0.42≈0.4 kg
Cu: 9x=9*0.21=1.89 ≈1.9 kg

Check 1.5+0.4+1.9 =3.8 True
