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

Answer:

=25a6−36a4

Step-by-step explanation:

=(5a3+−6a2)(5a3+6a2)

=(5a3)(5a3)+(5a3)(6a2)+(−6a2)(5a3)+(−6a2)(6a2)

=25a6+30a5−30a5−36a4

Look at the figure if tan x=3/y and cos x =y/z what is the value of sin x?
castortr0y [4]
Recall:

The tan of the measure of an angle is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side to that angle, that is :

\displaystyle{ \tan x^{\circ}= \frac{opposite\ side}{adjacent \ side}. 

Since this ratio is 3/y, we denote the opposite side, and adjacent side respectively by 3 and y. 

(Technically we should write 3t and yt, but we try our luck as we see y in the second ratio too!)


Similarly, \displaystyle{\cos x^{\circ}= \frac{adjacent\ side}{hypothenuse}.


The adjacent side is already denoted by y, so we denote the length of the hypotenuse by z.



Now the sides of the right triangle are complete. 

\displaystyle{ \sin x^{\circ}= \frac{opposite\ side}{hypotenuse}= \frac{3}{z}


Answer: A
