Answer:

Cost of One Journal =  $3.99

Cost of One pen =  $0.59

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Cost of One Journal = x

Cost of One pen = y

We can make equation from given statements.

Mr. Bowden purchases 18 journals and 40 pencils for $95.42.

18x+40y=95.42

Ms. Jacinto purchases 11 journals and 16 pencils for $53.33.

11x+16y=53.33

Now solving these equations to find the value of x

18x+40y=95.42--eq(1)\\11x+16y=53.33--eq(2)

Multiply eq(1) with 2 and eq(2) with 5

36x+80y=190.84\\55x+80y=266.65\\-\:\:\:\:-\:\:\:\;\:\:\:\:\:\:\:-\\---------\\-19x=-75.81\\x=\frac{-75.81}{-19}\\x=3.99\\

We get the value of x is: x=3.99

Now, putting value of x in equation 1 to find value of y.

18x+40y=95.42\\18(3.99)+40y=95.42\\71.82+40y=95.42\\40y=95.42-71.82\\40y=23.6\\y=\frac{23.6}{40}\\y= 0.59

So, we get the value of y: y = 0.59

Now, finding the costs:

Cost of One Journal = x = $3.99

Cost of One pen = y = $0.59

Frances has 4 square baking dishes. Each pan is 7 inches × 7 inches × 2 inches. Which expression will give her the total volume
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

D. (7^2 X2) x 4

The equation inside the parenthesis finds the volume of one pan and then that is multiplied by 4 which is the total number of pans. This will find the volume of all 4 pans.

A circle is centered at the point (5, -4) and passes through the point (-3, 2).
zepelin [54]

Answer:

(x-5)^2+(y+4)^2=100

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know the given points

Center = (5, -4)

and

Point on circle = (-3,2)

The distance between point on circle and center will give us the radius of circle

So,

The formula for distance is:

\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1} )^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}\\Taking\ center\ as\ point\ 1\ and\ the\ other\ point\ as\ point\ 2\\d=\sqrt{(-3-5)^{2}+(2-(-4))^{2}}\\d=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+(2+4)^{2}}\\d=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+(6)^{2}}\\\\d=\sqrt{64+36}\\d=\sqrt{100} \\ d=10\\So\ the\ radius\ is\ 10

The standard form of equation of circle is:

(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}

where h and k are the coordinates of the center. So putting in the value:

(x-5)^{2}+(y-(-4))^{2}=(10)^{2}\\(x-5)^{2}+(y+4)^{2}=100
