You buy 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants for $32. Your friend buys 2 shirts and 3 pairs of pants for $40. How much did each item cost?

 

First let’s define a shirt as X and pants as Y!

 

In the first scenario, the equation will be 3X + Y =$32

In the second scenario, the equation will be 2X + 3Y = $40  

 

Now because we have two different variables (X & Y) let’s solve for one of them (Ex: Y) to simplify the equations!

 

3X + Y= $32—> subtract 3X on both sides of the equation  

-3X.        - 3X

 

Net result: Y= 32- 3X

 

Now we can insert this into the second equation 2X + 3Y = $40 in order to solve for X variable  

 

2X + 3(32-3X) = $40

2X + 96 - 9X = $40 —> simplify the equation  

-7X + 96 = $40 —> substrate 96 from both sides  

-7X = -56 —> divide both sides by -7  

X= 8  

 

Now reinsert 8= X into 3X + Y = $32

3(8) + Y = $32

24+ Y = $32 —> substract 24 from both sides

y = 8

   

ANSWER: X= 8, Y= 8

If I am wrong I am sorry >_<

Find the measure of angle ABD if the measure of angle DBC is 42 degrees and the measure of angle ABC is 88 degrees
snow_lady [41]

    First, realize that angle ABC is the sum of the two other angles. Hence, form an equation in which you subtract the measure of one of the angles from angle ABC to get the measure of the other angle -- the one you are solving for.

Three ballet dancers are positioned on stage. Elizabeth is straight behind Hannah and directly left of Manuel. If Hannah and Eli
ki77a [65]

Answer: Elizabeth and Manuel have a distance of 4 meters between them.

Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the picture attached.

From the information given, Elizabeth is directly behind Hannah and directly left of Manuel. That means we have three points which are HEM, that is, we now have triangle HEM. The longest side (hypotenuse) which is the distance between Hannah and Manuel is given as 5 meters while the other side the distance between Hannah and Elizabeth is given as 3 meters.

We shall apply the pythagoras theorem in solving for the unknown side, EM.

The Pythagoras theorem states thus;

AC² = AB² + BC²

Where AC is the hypotenuse, and AB and BC are the other two sides.

Substituting for the known values, we now have;

5² = 3² + EM²

25 = 9 + EM²

Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation

16 = EM²

Add the square root sign to both sides of the equation

√16 = √EM²

4 = EM

Therefore the distance between Elizabeth and Manuel is 4 meters
