Answer:

Solid paper costs 1.75 each

Printed paper costs 2.50 each

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ben = $43.50 (12 rolls solid paper and 9 rolls of printed paper)

Joel = $51.50 (8 rolls solid paper and 15 rolls of printed paper)

Let x = solid paper

Let y = printed paper

12x + 9y = 43.50

 8x + 15y = 51.50

Find x:

8x + 15y = 51.50

8x = 51.50 - 15y

x = (51.50 - 15y)/8

Substitute x:

12x + 9y = 43.50

12(51.50 - 15y)/8 + 9y = 43.50

(618 - 180y)/8 + 9y = 43.50

8 (618 - 180y)/8 + 8*9y = 43.50 * 8

618 - 180y + 72y = 348

-108y = 348 - 618

-108y = -270

-108y/-108 = -270/-108

y = 2.50

x = (51.50 - 15y)/8

x = (51.50 - 15(2.5) /8

x = (51.50 - 37.50)/8

x = 14/8

x = 1.75

To check: x = 1.75 ; y = 2.5

12x + 9y = 43.50

12(1.75) + 9(2.5) = 43.50

21 + 22.50 = 43.50

43.50 = 43.50

8x + 15y = 51.50

8(1.75) + 15(2.5) = 51.50

14 + 37.50 = 51.50

51.50 = 51.50

This line is written in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b.

In this form, m is always the slope and b is always the y-intercept.

Just identify the positions of these numbers, and that's your answer.

If x=6 and y=2 then the value of 3x^2-4(2y-4/12) +8
Rasek [7]

Answer:

3x^2−8y+28/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2-4(2y-4/12) +8

Reduce the fraction 4/12 to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

3x^2-4(2y-1/3) +8

Use the distributive property to multiply −4 by 2y - 1/3

3x^2-8y+4/3+8

Add 4/3 and 8 to get 28/3

3x^2−8y+28/3

An angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side of the triangle into segments 1.5 cm and 1 cm long. A second side of t
bagirrra123 [75]
By the angle bisector theorem, one of the lengths of the third side of the triangle is given by:
1.5 / 1 = x / 2.6
x = 1.5 x 2.6 = 3.9
One of the possible length of the third side is 3.9 cm

The other possible length is given by 1 / 1.5 = x / 2.6
1.5x = 2.6
x = 2.6/1.5 = 1.7
The other possible length of the third side is 1.7 cm.
