Answer:

Each pencil costs $0.07 and each eraser costs $0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

System of linear equations

It refers to the study of systems when n variables are related in m linear equations, each one is not independent from the others. Solving such systems can be done following very diverse approaches.  

Let p=the price of each pencil while e is the price each eraser

Julio bought 4 pencils and 3 erasers, spending

4p+3e=0.37

David bought 3 pencils and 4 erasers, spending

3p+4e=0.33

The system of equations is written in the form

\left\{\begin{matrix}4p+3e=0.37\\ 3p+4e=0.33\end{matrix}\right

We'll solve it by reduction. Multiplying the first equation by -3 and the second by 4:

\left\{\begin{matrix}-12p-9e=-1.11\\ 12p+16e=1.32\end{matrix}\right.

Adding both equations:

7e=0.21  

e=0.03

Multiplying the first one by -4 and the second by 3

\left\{\begin{matrix}-16p-12e=-1.48\\ 9p+12e=0.99\end{matrix}\right.\end{matrix}\right.

Adding both equations:

-7p=-0.49

p=0.07  

Solution: Each pencil costs $0.07 and each eraser costs $0.03

A tree has a circumference of 16 ft. Calculate the volume of wood it contains if the tree is 10ft tall. Round your answer to the
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of the tree is the distance around the tree's circular top. The formula for determining the circumference of a circle is expressed as

Circumference = 2πr

If the tree has a circumference of 16 ft, it means that

2πr = 16

πr = 16/2 = 8

r = 8/π

The formula for determining the volume of a cylinder is expressed as

Volume = πr²h

if the tree is 10ft tall, then the volume of wood it contains is

Volume = π × (8/π)² × 10

Volume = 64/π × 10

Volume = 64/3.14 × 10

Volume = 204 cubic feet

Given that sin(90 -5ϴ) = Cos(180 - ϴ), Find the value of ϴ<br>​
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

30°

Step-by-step explanation:

\because \:  \sin(90 \degree -  \theta) =  \cos \theta \\ \therefore \:  \sin(90 \degree - 5 \theta) =  \cos 5\theta....(1) \\  \\ \sin(90 \degree - 5 \theta) = \cos(180 \degree -  \theta)...(2) \\ from \: (1) \: and \: (2) \\ \cos 5\theta = \cos(180 \degree -  \theta) \\ 5 \theta = 180 \degree -  \theta \\  5 \theta  + \theta= 180 \degree  \\ 6\theta= 180 \degree  \\  \theta =  \frac{180 \degree}{6}  \\  \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{\theta = 30 \degree}}
