Answer:

The cost for 1 chair is $2.75 and the cost for 1 table is $8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the elimination method of linear equations to find your answer.

Our equations for this problem are:

3c+5t=52 and 9c+7t=86

1. Multiply the entire first equation by -3.

-3(3c+5t=52)

2. Simplify the equation from above:

-9c-15t=-156

3. Stack the two equations on top of each other and add/subtract:

-9c-15t=-156

9c+7t=86

4. You should be left with -8t=-70. Simplify this to find the value of t:

t=8.75

5. Plug the value of t into any of the original equations and solve for c.

3c+5(8.75)=52

6. Simplify the equation above:

3c+43.75=52

7. Subtract 43.75 from both sides of the equation:

3c=8.25

8. Divide both sides by 3 to get your c value:

c=2.75

A rectangular bedroom is 4 ft longer than it is wide. Its area is 140 ft2. What is the width of the room? ft
steposvetlana [31]

Answer: width = 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = length × width

Let l be length and w be width

l = w + 4 ........equation (1)

From above formula

140 = l × w. ........equation (2)

Substitute equation (1) into equation (2)

140 = (w+4) × w

w^2 + 4w= 140

w^2 + 4w - 140= 0

By factorization method

(w+14)(w-10)= 0

w=-14 or w= 10

So now width is 10 ft

From equation(1)

l=w+4

l= 10+4

l= 14 ft

Width = 10 ft and length = 14 ft

Irrational conjugate theorem
podryga [215]

Answer:

The irrational conjugate theorem states that if a polynomial equation has a root (a + √b), then we can say that the conjugate of (a + √b), i.e. (a - √b) will also be another root of the polynomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

The irrational conjugate theorem states that if a polynomial equation has a root (a + √b), then we can say that the conjugate of (a + √b), i.e. (a - √b) will also be another root of the polynomial.

For example, if we consider a quadratic equation x² + 6x + 1 = 0, then two of its roots are - 3 + √8 and - 3 - √8 and they are conjugate of each other. (Answer)
