Tia cut a 4-meter 8-centimeter wire into 10 equal pieces. Marta cut a 540-centimeter wire into 9 equal pieces. How much longer i

s one of Marta’s wires than one of Tia’s?
First, Tia’s wire is 4 meters and 8 centimeters long, so that means it’s 408 centimeters long, then you divide that by 10:
tia = 408/10 = 40.8 cm

Now, Marta’s wire is 540 centimeters long and we have to divide that into 9 pieces:
Marta = 540/9 = 60 cm

Finally subtract Marta’s and Tia’s pieces: 60 - 40.8 = 19.2
So Marta’s pieces are 19.2 centimeters longer than Tia’s

Solve the system of equations. 5x y = 9 3x 2y = 4 (−2, 5) (1, 4) (2, −1) (4, −4)
kobusy [5.1K]

The solution of the system of equations that is given is (2,-1).

Given a system of equations are 5x+y=9 and 3x+2y=4.

A system of linear equations (or linear system) is a collection of one or more linear equations involving the same variables.  A solution to a linear system is an assignment of values to the variables such that all the equations are simultaneously satisfied.

The given equations are

5x+y=9    ......(1)

3x+2y=4  ......(2)

Here, the substitution method is used to solve the system of equations.

Find the value of y from equation (1) by subtracting 5x from both sides.

5x+y-5x=9-5x

y=9-5x

To find the value of x substitute the value of y in equation (2).

3x+2(9-5x)=4

Apply the distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac as

3x+2×9-2×5x=4

3x+18-10x=4

Combine the like terms on the left side as

-7x+18=4

Subtract 18 from both sides and get

-7x+18-18=4-18

-7x=-14

Divide both sides by -7 and get

(-7x)÷(-7)=(-14)÷(-7)

x=2

Substitute the value of x in equation (1) and get

5(2)+y=9

10+y=9

Subtract 10 from both sides

10+y-10=9-10

y=-1

Hence, the solution of system of equations 5x+y=9 and 3x+2y=4 is (2,-1).

If 2x +y=8, x+2y=4, find the value of x-y.<br> Please, help me
kifflom [539]

y = 8 -2x

x + 2 (8 - 2x) = 1

x + 16 - 4x = 1

x - 4x = -15

-3x = -15

x = 5

If x = 5, then we can substitute in...

5 + 2y = 1

2y = -4

y = -2

Now let us check that by substituting those values in to the equation

2x + y = 8

2 (5) + (-2) = 8

That is correct so we have the right values for x and y/

A store pays $10 for a blanket, and the markup is 115%. A customer will also pay a 5 1/2% sales tax. What will be the total cost
Naddik [55]
Firstly, we need to find the price of the blanket/bracelet after the 115% increase.
     $10 x 1.15 = $15.20

Now for the 5.5% sales tax, which is applied the the new value of $15.20
     $15.20 x 0.055 = 0.83
     $15.20 + $0.83 = $16.03

The final cost for the blanket/bracelet is %16.03
