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

The function g(t) = - 16t2 + vt + h represents the height of an object, g, in feet, above the ground in relation to the time, t,
timurjin [86]

Answer:

g(t) = -16t^2+80t.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that v=80 and h=0 (because that's the ground), so substituting that into g(t) = -16t^2+vt+h gives g(t) = -16t^2+80t.

I need help on solving these types of geometry problems! Teacher said the answer is 7 but I have to show work. Thank you!
Nikolay [14]

The vertex where the two triangles touch forms a pair of vertical angles, so that the angles on opposites sides of the vertex are congruent. You're shown that two legs of both triangles are congruent. All this tells you that the two triangles are isosceles, and furthermore that they are similar because of the congruence of their "base" angles.

This means

82^\circ=m\angle 2

\implies82=10x+12

\implies10x=70

\implies\boxed{x=7}
