Answer:
x=-5
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x=3+7
or,-2x=10
or,x=-10/2
x=-5
The price of one hat is $2 and one pair of mittens is $5
Step-by-step explanation:
Hats and mittens are on sale at the store!
- One woman was able to buy 5 hats and 4 pairs of mittens for $30
- Another woman purchased 3 pairs of mittens and 2 hats for $19
- The price of one hat is x
- The price of one pair of mittens is y
We need to find x and y
∵ One woman was able to buy 5 hats and 4 pairs of mittens for $30
∵ The price of one hat is x
∵ The price of one pair of mittens is y
- Multiply 5 hats by x and 4 pairs of mittens by y and equate
their sum by 30
∴ 5x + 4y = 30 ⇒ (1)
∵ Another woman purchased 3 pairs of mittens and 2 hats for $19
- Multiply 2 hats by x and 3 pairs of mittens by y and equate
their sum by 19
∴ 2x + 3y = 19 ⇒ (2)
Now we have a system of equations to solve it
Multiply equation (1) by -2 and equation (2) by 5 to eliminate x
∵ -10x - 8y = -60 ⇒ (3)
∵ 10x + 15y = 95 ⇒ (4)
- Add equations (3) and (4)
∴ 7y = 35
- Divide both sides by 7
∴ y = 5
Substitute the value of y in equation (1) or (2) to find x
∵ 2x + 3(5) = 19
∴ 2x + 15 = 19
- Subtract 15 from both sides
∴ 2x = 4
- Divide both sides by 2
∴ x = 2
The price of one hat is $2 and one pair of mittens is $5

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
radius of semicircle = 5
area of semicircle = πr² = 25π
area of rectangle = 10×14 = 140
total area = 140 + 25π ≅ 218.54 square units
Answer:
5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply both numerator and denominator by 100. We do this to find an equivalent fraction having 100 as the denominator.
0.05 × 100/100
= (0.05 × 100) × 1/100 = 5/100
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
A can speak french
There are 10 students who can speak french, 4 girls and 6 boys
P(french) = speak french/ total
= 10/30
= 1/3
B is a boy
There are 16 boys
P (boy) = boys/total
= 16/30
8/15
C girl who can speak french
There are 4 girls who can speak french
P (girl who can speak french) = girl who can speak french/ total
=4/30
2/15
