Answer:

Pat made 32 plates

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

Pat made a total of 48 pottery plates and cups.

Let she made C cups.

Then this means she made 2C plates.

Now, C+2C=48

it means, 3C=48

That means C=16 (dividing both sides by 3)

This means number of plates=2C

= 2×16

= 32

Hence, Pat made 32 plates

If C stands for cups, solve for C

48 - 2c = 0
l
subtract 48 from each side.
l
2c=-48
l
divide 48 by 2 ---> 24.

Answer:

The length of the shadow is 48.28 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The flagpole at its shadow form a 46, 44, 90 triangle.

Let AB be the flagpole. AC is the shadow.

Let's use the sine law to calculate AC.

$\frac{AC}{sin(44)}=\frac{50}{sin(46)}\\AC=\sin(44)*\frac{50}{sin(46)}AC=48.28$

uysha [10]

Answer:

$\$(990-t)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

Susan works as a tutor for $10 and hour, and as a waitress for $11 an hour. This month, she worked a combined total of 90 hours at her two jobs. Let t be the number of hours Susan worked as a tutor this month. Write an expression for the combined total dollar amount she earned this month

Let

t -----> the number of hours that Susan work as a tutor

y ----> the number of hours that Susan work as a waitress

z ---> the combined total dollar amount she earned this month

we know that

$t+y=90$

$y=90-t$ -----> equation A

we know that

The combined total dollar amount she earned this month is equal to the number of hours that Susan work as a tutor multiplied by $10 plus the number of hours that Susan work as a waitress multiplied by $11

$z=10t+11y$ ----> equation B
