Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of small hat purchased, y represent the number of medium hat purchased and z represent the number of large hat purchased.

Since a total of 47 hats where purchased,  hence:

x + y + z = 47    (1)

Also, he spent a total of $302, hence:

5.5x + 6y + 7z = 302     (2)

He purchases three times as many medium hats as small hats, hence:

y = 3x

-x + 3y = 0    (3)

Represent equations 1, 2 and 3 in matrix form gives:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\5.5&6&7\\-3&1&0\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}47\\302\\0\end{array}\right] \\\\\\\\ \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\5.5&6&7\\-3&1&0\end{array}\right] ^{-1} \left[\begin{array}{c}47\\302\\0\end{array}\right] \\\\\\ \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}6\\18\\23\end{array}\right]

Therefore he purchases 6 small hats, 18 medium hats and 23 large hats

PLS HELP WILL MARK YOU BRAINLIEST! NO FAKE ANSWERS!!<br> WHAT IS M∠1?
TEA [102]

Answer:

angle 1=135°

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the angle of 1 you should know angle 2, what is angle 2?

angle 45° and angle 1 are symetrical so they have the same value.

now that we know that angle 2 is equal to 45°

then what is angle 1

if the whole line has an angle of 180° and angle 45°.

so the equation will be :

45+x=180

flip the equation to find x:

180-45=x

180-45=x\\135=x\\x=the angle 1 which we found in the given equation is 135

check if my answer is correct is :

135+45=180\\180=180

my equation is correct
