Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

do that with pithagoras:

20² + 4,5² = x²

420,25 = x²

x = \sqrt{420,25}

Cindy plans to shop for her school supplies and wants to know how much money she would need to spend. from her friend she knows
vlabodo [156]

Let the cost of 1 notebook be x and the cost of 1 binder be y.

4 notebooks and 3 binders would cost 23.5

Therefore, 4x + 3y = 23.5     (1)

7 notebooks and 6 binders would cost 44.5

Therefore, 7x + 6y = 44.5     (2)

Multiply the first equation by 2.

8x + 6y = 47     (3)

(3) - (2) gives

x = 2.5

Substitute the value of x in (1), we get,

4(2.5) + 3y = 23.5

10 + 3y = 23.5

3y = 23.5 - 10

3y = 13.5

y = 13.5/3

y = 4.5

Hence, cost of 5 notebooks and 3 binders is:

5x + 3y = 5(2.5) + 3(4.5)

           = 12.5 + 13.5

           = 26

Hence, cost of 5 notebooks and 3 binders is $26.

Karen drives straight south on Interstate 405 from the Santa Monica Freeway interchange going 10 miles per hour faster than Meli
natima [27]

Karen is moving at 81.2 miles per hour while Melinda is moving at 71.2 miles per hour.

<h3>Equation for speed</h3>

Speed is the ratio of total distance travelled to total time taken. It is given by:

Speed = distance / time

Let a represent Karen speed and b represent Melinda speed, hence:

a = b + 10

a - b = 10   (1)

Also:

a = d₁ / 1

d₁ = a

b = d₂/ 1 hour

d₂ = b

Since they are 108 miles apart, using Pythagoras:

108² = d₁² + d₂²

a² + b² = 11664

(b + 10)² + b² = 11664

b = 71.2 mph, a = 81.2 mph

Karen is moving at 81.2 miles per hour while Melinda is moving at 71.2 miles per hour.

Louise, Tammy, Delores, and Sheryl score 78 points total in the tennis matches they play. They score a consecutive number of poi
irga5000 [103]

\huge\boxed{18\ \text{points}}

We'll represent Louise's, Tammy's, Delores's, and Sheryl's point values with x, x+1, x+2, and x+3 respectively since each one is 1 point more than the last.

Add all of these values up and set it all equal to 78.

x+x+1+x+2+x+3=78

Now, simplify.

4x+6=78

Subtract 6 on both sides.

\begin{aligned}4x+6-6&=78-6\\4x&=72\end{aligned}

Divide both sides by 4.

\begin{aligned}\frac{4x}{4}&=\frac{72}{4}\\x&=\boxed{18}\end{aligned}

Since Louise's score is x, the answer is 18.

<h3>Double-checking</h3>

To verify our answer, add the point totals 18, 19, 20, and 21.

This equals 78, so we can be sure the answer is correct.
