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 + 7y - 7x - 4y = 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)

Is P 90 degrees from the origin, Q 180 degrees from the origin, and R 270 degrees from the origin?

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)→(-x,-y) (180° about the origin)

1.p(-3,2) ,in the second quadrant

P(-2,-3) is in 4th quadrant.

in the clockwise it is rotation of 270° about the origin.

Q(-4,-5) is in 4th quadrant.

Q(4,5) is in 1st quadrant.

so it is 180° rotation in the clockwise direction.

R(1,7) is in 1st quadrant.

R(7,-1) is in 4th quadrant.

Hence it is 90° rotation about the origin in clockwise direction.

During 30 minutes on the treadmill, LaToya burned 20 calories per minute. What is the rate of change of the function that repres

Genrish500 [490]

The answer I believe is 10 calories per minute because 20 x30 =600 I did that because she burned 20 calories per minute so with that being said there’s 60 minutes is the maximum minutes any time can go to so you do 600 divided by 60 which equals 10 which means she burns 10 calories per minute hope this is right

Y =2/3x + 20 when x = 21

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to do 2/3*21, which equals 14 as 3 and 21 can be simplified to 1 and 7. 7 * 2/1= 14. Then we add the 20 to 14, 20+14= 34
