Answer:

Start by distributing the 15 to the (m-1). 9+12m=6+15m-15. Then combine like terms. 9+12m=15m-9. Next move the variable all to one side, it doesn't matter which variable you choose. I'll use 12m so when I subtract I am still left with a postive coefficient. To move the 12m we subtract it from both sides of the equation. We are left with 9=3m-9. Next we isolate the m by canceling out the 9. We do this by adding 9 to both sides. We are left with 18=3m. Finally, to completely isolate the m, we must divide both sides by the coefficient, 3. The result is 6=m. The answer is 6 months. You can check this by plugging 6 back into the equation where there is an m. (sorry for the long answer)

. Three types of shirts sold at a store cost $9.00, $11.00, and $12.50. One day, the store sells a total of 23 shirts and makes

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

X + 3y = 23

9x + 36y = 243

11 shirts sold at $9.0 per shirt, 4 shirts sold at $11 per shirt and 8 shirts sold at $12.5 per shirt

Step-by-step explanation:

-----Since we are told to assume that the number of shirts sold for $9.00 each is x, that of $11.00 is y and also that of $12.50 is z.

9x + 11y + 12.5z = 243

9x + 11y + 12.5(2y) = 243

9x + 36y = 243_______ equation 1

----- The statement also read that One day, the store sells a total of 23 shirts and makes $243 on the sales. TWICE AS MANY SHIRTS WERE SOLD FOR $12.50 THAN WERE SOLD FOR $11.00

Z = 2y

x + y + z = 23

X + y + 2y = 23

X + 3y = 23_____ equation 2

Now multiply the above by 9 to have this equation's "x" sharing the same coefficient with that of equation 1

9x + 27 = 207 will be the new one___equation 3

-----Subtract equation 3 from 1 and we have

9x + 36y = 243____ equation 1

9x + 27y = 207____ equation 3

9y = 36

Y = 4

-----Substitute y = 4 in equation 2

X + 3y = 23

X + 4(3) = 23

X + 12 = 23

X = 23 - 12

X = 11

-----Remember that x + y + z = 23

11 + 4 + z = 23

15 + z = 23

Z = 23 - 15

Z = 8.

So therefore, x =11 shirts, y = 4 shirts and z = 8 shirts

Please help me with this I’m confused please explain

Answer:

25. If you look at angle B from the first figure you see a square that indicates a 90 degrees angle, thus the figure shown is a right triangle. You can also see that angle C is said to have 60 degrees. a right triangle has a total angle of 180 degrees. so, 180 - 90 - 60 = 30 degrees. Therefore, angle A is 30 degrees.

27. Now you want the measure of the hypotenuse, and you know this a right triangle. so, simply use the law of sines to find the measure of AC :

4cm/sin(60) = AC/Sin90

AC = 4.62 cm

29. angle z is in the other figure and same stuff, just substract the angles, you have 90 degrees and 30 degrees... 180 - 90 - 30 = 60 degrees

31. Angle Y = 90 degrees

this value is already given, it's the little square that indicates a 90 degrees angle.

26. 5 cm

28. 90 degrees

30. You already found AC, use the pythagorean theorem. sqrt((4.62)^2 - 4^2) = 2.31 cm

32. use pythagoras again, square root(5^2 - 3^2) = 4

So as you can see all the measurements are the same because if you see at the very top of your figures it says ABC = XYZ which means pretty much that they have the same values (notice that there is a little something added to the = sign, watch out for that because that's what indicates that two figures are equal in terms of angles and measures.

What is the value of x in the equation 4x + 8y=40 when y=0.8

Fed [463]

8*.8=6.4
4x+6.4=40
40-6.4=33.6
33.6/4=x
8.4=x

Hope this helps :)
