A second basket has 6 spas--- I think you mean 6 soaps , so i will work with that

Answer:it is not possible to determine the price of the soap with the information given.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s0ap be represented as x

and lotion be represented as y

2 soaps and 5 lotions costing  $20 gives us equation 1 as

2 x+ 5y= 20-------- equation 1

second basket with 6 soaps and 15 lotions and costing $60 gives us equation 2 as

6x + 15y= 60------equation 2

Step 2 -- Solving

2 x+ 5y= 20-------- equation 1

6x + 15y= 60--------equation 2

BY elimination method, we  multiply equation 1 by (3)

2x + 5y= 20  x (3)

6x + 15y=60-------equation 3

Subtraction of equation 3 from equation 2 gives us

6x + 15y=60-------equation 3

-6x + 15y= 60--------equation 2

0x +0y=0  which is no solution

Therefore it is not possible to determine the price of the soap

How to do the problem
trapecia [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

g(0.5) = 2 \\  \\ h(x) = g(x).f(x) \\  \therefore \: h(2) = g(2).f(2) \\  \therefore \: h(2) = 5 \times 2\\ \therefore \: h(2) = 10\\  \\ \\  j(x) = g(x) - f(x) \\  \therefore \: j(4) = g(4) - f(4) \\  \therefore \: j(4) = 9 - 8\\ \therefore \: j(4)  = 1\\  \\  \\

What is the 185th digit in the following pattern 12345678910111213141516...?
Natalka [10]
1-9  = 9 digits
10-99 = 180 digits
So if we continue the pattern to 99, there are 189 digits, and the last 5 digits would be 79899.  Counting backwards: 189th = 9, 188th = 9, 187th = 8, 186th = 9, 185th = 7.

The 185th digit is 7.
