Help! Need by 10:30 to turn in and I'm confused!

Mathematics

Answer:

8 boxes of tissues

5 bags of cough drops

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to write a system of equations.

x = number of tissue boxes

y = number of cough drop bags

x (number of tissue boxes) + y (number of cough drop bags) = 13 (total number of tissues and cough drops combined.

So, your first equation is

x + y = 13

Then, you need to write the second equation.

(1.69 [cost of 1 tissue box] * [number of tissue boxes]) + (1.19 [cost of one bag of cough drops] * [number of cough drop bags] = 19.47 [total cost of tissues and cough drops]

That's a lot to read, so here's the equation simplified!

1.69x + 1.19y = 19.47

Now, you have two equations:

x + y = 13

1.69x + 1.19y = 19.47

I would solve with the substitution method.

the first equation can be changed to x = 13 - y by subtracting y from both sides.

Then, your two equations are:

x = 13 - y

1.69x + 1.19y = 19.47

Now, you can plug in that value of x into the second equation!

1.69(13 - y) + 1.19y = 19.47

21.97 - 1.69y + 1.19y = 19.47

subtract 21.97 from both sides

-1.69y + 1.19y = -2.5

Add the y values

-0.5y = -2.5

divide both sides by -0.5

so, y equals 5 bags of cough drops

now that you know what y equals, plug it back into your original equation to find x!

x + y = 13

plug in y

x + 5 = 13

x = 8

so, x = 8 boxes of tissues

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions!

Answer:  \text{quadrilateral FSHB}\sim\text{quadrilateral KTWJ }

Step-by-step explanation:

To polygons are said to be similar if all the corresponding angles of given polygons are equal.

In the given figure, it can be seen that in quadrilateral FSHB and quadrilateral KTWJ all the corresponding angles are equal.

∠F=∠K

∠S=∠T

∠H=∠W

∠B=∠J

Therefore, The given polygons are similar.

Hence, \text{quadrilateral FSHB}\sim\text{quadrilateral KTWJ }

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equations is x-y=6
belka [17]

Answer:

m = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

First write the line in slope intercept form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

x-y = 6

subtract x from each side

-y = -x+6

Multiply each side by -1

y = x-6

The slope is 1

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1

m * 1 = -1

m = -1

The slope of the perpendicular line is -1

Find the components of the vertical force Bold Upper Fequalsleft angle 0 comma negative 8 right anglein the directions parallel
nydimaria [60]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

F=<0,-8>=0i-8j=-8j

\theta=\frac{\pi}{3}

The component of force is divided into two direction

1.Along the plane

2.Perpendicular to the plane

1.The vector parallel to the plane will be=r=cos\frac{\pi}{3}i-sin\frac{\pi}{3}j=\frac{1}{2}i-\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}j

By using cos\frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{1}{2},sin\frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}

Force along the plane will be=\mid F_x\mid=F\cdot r

Force along the plane will be =\mid F_x\mid=F\cdot (\frac{1}{2}i-\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}j)=-8j\cdot(\frac{1}{2}i-\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}j)=8\times \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}=4\sqrt 3N

By using i\cdot i=j\cdoty j=k\cdot k=1,i\cdot j=j\cdot k=k\cdot i=j\cdot i=k\cdot j=i\cdot k=0

Therefore, force along the plane=\mid F_x\mid(\frac{1}{2}i-\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}j)=4\sqrt 3(\frac{1}{2}i-\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}j)

2.The vector perpendicular to the plane=r=-sin\frac{\pi}{3}-cos\frac{\pi}{3}=-\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}i-\frac{1}{2}j

The force perpendicular to the plane=\mid F_y\mid=F\cdot r=-8j(-\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}i-\frac{1}{2}j)

The force perpendicular to the plane=4N

Therefore, F_y=4(-\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}i-\frac{1}{2}j)

Sum of two component of force=F_x+F_y=4\sqrt 3(\frac{1}{2}i-\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}j)+4(-\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}i-\frac{1}{2}j)

Sum of two component of force=2\sqrt 3i-6j-2\sqrt3 i-2j=-8j

Hence,sum of two component of forces=Total force.
