For this Question use the substitution method.

5x+2y = $48 ------First Equation.
3x+2y = $32 ------ Second Equation

x= 48-2y/ 5 ( 48-2y divided by 5)

Put the value of x in the second equation.

3(48-2y/5)+2y = $32
 (144-6y/5) + 2y = $32
Take L.C.M 
144-6y+10y/5 = $32
144+4y = 32*5
144+4y = 160
4y = 160-144
4y = 16
y = 4
Now put the value of y in any equation.
5x+2(4) = $48
5x+8 = $48
5x = 48-8
5x = 40
x = 8
-------------------------
A Dress costs $8 and a belt costs $ 4.

Imagine you are given the diameter of a circle and asked to find its volume. Select the statement that describes what you should
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

We need to take the diameter and divide by 2 to find the radius

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere is found by

V = 4/3 pi r^3

So we need the radius

We know the diameter

r = d/2

We need to take the diameter and divide by 2

If two angles of a triangle each measure 45 degrees what is the third angle
8_murik_8 [283]

Since we know that there are exactly 180 degrees in any triangle, and if each angle is equal to 45 degrees, we must add 45 to 45 and then subtract the result from 180 to find the 3rd angle. Since 45+45=90,we subtract 180-90 and get 90 degrees or a right angle.

Find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to 4x+6y=1 that has a greater y intercept compared to 2x+3y=18
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

4y = 6x + 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a straight line is y = mx + b

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

let us write both equations in this form;

we have this as;

6y = -4x + 1

y = -4x/6 + 1/6

and;

2x + 3y = 18

3y = -2x + 18

y = -2x/3 + 6

So firstly we want to find an equation that is perpendicular to the first

When two lines are perpendicular, their slopes has a product of -1

The slope of the first line is -4/6

let the slope of the line we want be m

As per they are perpendicular;

-4/6 * m = -1

-4m/6 = -1

-4m = -6

m = 6/4

So now, we want the y-intercept greater than that of the second equation which is a y-intercept of 6

we can choose 10

and we have the equation as:

y = 6x/4 + 10

multiply through by 4

4y = 6x + 40
