Answer:

The cost of one shirt is $16 and the cost of one sweater is $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of one shirt be x and the cost of one shirt be y.

7x + 4y = 192 -----Equation 1

8x + 7y = 268 -----Equation 2

Equations 2-1:

8x + <em>7y</em> - 7x <em>- 4y</em> = 268 - 192

x + 3y = 76

x = 76-3y -----Equation 3

Subsitute x = 76-3y into Equation 1:

7x + 4y = 192

7(76-3y) + 4y = 192

532 - 21y + 4y = 192

532 - 17y = 192

-17y = 192-532

-17y = -340

17y = 340

y = 340 ÷ 17

y = 20 (The cost of one sweater is $20)

Substitute y = 20 into Equation 3:

x = 76-3y

x = 76 -3(20)

x = 76 - 60

x = 16 (The cost of one shirt is $16)

Alona [7]
To answer this question, you need to multiply the number inside the bracket first. Then you can move the number to the right side of the equal sign and keep the x on the left side of the equal sign. The step would be like this
2(x – 5) - 6x= -22(2x - 10) - 6x = -222x - 6x  = -22 +10-4x= -12x= -12/-4x=3
Hope this helps!!!

Which relation is a function?
sergejj [24]

To determine which relation is a function, we can perform something called the vertical line test. We cover the graph in repeating vertical lines and if one vertical line connects with more than one point of the relation, the relation is not a function.

The relation in the bottom right corner is the only relation that passes the vertical line test.

How to know if the number is a perfect square​
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Prime factorize the given number. All factors should have pair. If all factors have pair, then it is a perfect square

EG: 36 : Factors of  36 are 2,3,2,3. Here there are two 2's and two 3's. so 36 is a perfect square.

EG: 24: Factors of 12 are 2,2,3. Here 3 is without pair. so it is not a perfect square.
