Answer:

$4.53

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent

The cost of a

Packet of tea = x

Packet of coffee = y

Five packets of tea and seven of coffee cost $39.40

5x + 7y = 39.40.....Equation 1

Three packets of tea and five of coffee cost $26.20.

3x + 5y = 26.20.......Equation 2

Combining both Equations

5x + 7y = 39.40.....Equation 1

3x + 5y = 26.20.......Equation 2

Multiply Equation 1 by 5 and Equation 2 by 7 to eliminate y

25x + 35y = 197.... Equation 3

21x + 35y = 183.4......Equation 4

Subtract Equation 4 from 3

3x = 13.6

x = 13.6/3

x = $4.53

Therefore, the cost of a packet of tea is $4.53

Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree, if necessary.
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

x ≈ 28.8°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin x = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{3.9}{8.1} , then

x = sin^{-1} (\frac{3.9}{8.1} ) ≈ 28.8° ( to the nearest tenth )

Ainat [17]

Answer:

\Huge\boxed{z

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

Once again we need to isolate the variable using inverse operations

to get rid of the -8.2 we add 8.2 to each side

-8.2+8.2 cancels out

-9.7+8.2=-1.5

now we have

-1.2z>-1.5

now we wan to get rid of the -1.2

to do so we want to divide each side by -1.2

\frac{-1.2z}{-1.2} =z\\\\\frac{-1.5}{-1.2} =1.25

Remember we have to flip the inequality sign because we're dividing by a negative number

we're left with

z<1.25
