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

What is the area of cross-section ADGF of this right rectangular prism?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

C.52 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Length of cross-section ADGF,l=13units

Length of cross-section ADGF, b=4 units

We have to find the area  of cross-section ADGF of this right rectangular prism.

We know that

Area of rectangle=l\times b

Using the formula

Area of cross-section ADGF of this right rectangular prism

=13\times 4

Area of cross-section ADGF of this right rectangular prism=52square units

Option C is correct.

C.52 square units

Walt and Hank collect quarters from different states. Walt collected q quarters. Hank collected four fewer quarters than Walt. T
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Walt has 37 quarters.  Hank has 33.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the given equation for q:

0.25q + 0.25q - 1.00 = 17.50

Simplify this, obtaining:

0.50q = 18.50

Simplifying this by multiplying both terms of this result by 100:

50 q = 1850

Thus, q = 1850/50 = 37

Walt has 37 quarters.  Hank has 33.

Note that 37 + 33 = 70, and that 70($0.25) = $17.50.  So our results are correct.
