37 For a class picnic, two teachers went to the same store to purchase drinks. One teacher purchased 18 juice boxes and 32 bottl

es of water, and spent $19.92. The other teacher purchased 14 juice boxes and 26 bottles of water, and spent $15.76. Write a system of equations to represent the costs of a juice box, j, and a bottle of water, w. Kara said that the juice boxes might have cost 52 cents each and that the bottles of water might have cost 33 cents each. Use your system of equations to justify that Kara's prices are not possible. Solve your system of equations to determine the actual cost, in dollars, of each juice box and each bottle of water.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let j represent the cost of a juice box.

Let w represent the cost of a bottle of water.

One teacher purchased 18 juice boxes and 32 bottles of water, and spent $19.92.. This means that

18j + 32w = 19.92 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

The other teacher purchased 14 juice boxes and 26 bottles of water, and spent $15.76. This means that

14j + 26w = 15.76- - - - - - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 14 and equation 2 by 18, it becomes

252j + 448w = 278.88

252j + 468w = 283.68

Subtracting, it becomes

- 20j = - 4.8

j = - 4.8/- 20 = 0.24

Substituting j = 0.24 into equation 1, it becomes

18 × 0.24 + 32w = 19.92

4.32 + 32w = 19.92

32w = 19.92 - 4.32 = 15.6

w = 15.6/32 = 0.4875

Kara's prices are incorrect.

the cost of a juice box is $0.24

the cost of a bottle of water is $0.4875

Please help!!!! 2 questions 50 points!!!!
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Question 1</u>

<u>The missing angles</u>

  • Both the unknown angles have the same value as the other two angles in the triangles are the same
  • ∠(missing) = 180 - (72 x 2)
  • ∠(missing) = 180 - 144
  • ∠(missing) = 36°

⇒ The sides are <u>equal</u>

⇒ Angles are <u>not 90°</u>

⇒ It is a <u>rhombus</u>

<u></u>

<u>Question 2</u>

  • The <u>diagonals</u> of the shape <u>bisect other</u> (Statement 1)
  • NY = NW (given)
  • XN = NZ (given)
  • ∠XNY = ∠WXZ (vertically opposite angles)
  • ΔXNY ≅ ΔWXZ (SAS)
  • They form <u>two congruent triangles</u> (Statement 2)
  • From these two statements, it is evident the figure is a <u>parallelogram</u>

Please Help, Will give Brainliest!<br> Law Of Cosines.
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

  B)  a = 6.7, B = 36°, C = 49°

Step-by-step explanation:

Fill in the numbers in the Law of Cosines formula to find the value of "a".

  a² = b² + c² -2bc·cos(A)

  a² = 4² +5² -2(4)(5)cos(95°) ≈ 44.4862

  a ≈ √44.4862 ≈ 6.66980

Now, the law of sines is used to find one of the remaining angles. The larger angle will be found from ...

  sin(C)/c = sin(A)/a

  sin(C) = (c/a)sin(A)

  C = arcsin(5/6.6698×sin(95°)) ≈ 48.31°

The third angle is ...

  B = 180° -A -C = 180° -95° -48.31° = 36.69°

The closest match to a = 6.7, B = 37°, C = 48° is answer choice B.
