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!

Your answer is 20 vegetable plants. To answer this, you just need to find 40% of 50, as 40% of their total plants are vegetables. You can do this by dividing 50 by 10 to get 5, which is 10%, and then multiplying 5 by 4 to get 20, which is 40%.
I hope this helps!

A gear with a diameter of 12.0 inches makes 35 revolutions every three minutes. Find the linear and angular velocities of a poin

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Angular velocity: $\omega = \frac{7\pi}{18} \,\frac{rad}{s}$ ( $1.222\,\frac{rad}{s}$ )

Linear velocity: $v = \frac{14\pi}{3}\,\frac{m}{s}$ ( $14.661\,\frac{m}{s}$ )

Step-by-step explanation:

The gear experiments a pure rotation with axis passing through its center, the angular ( $\omega$ ), in radians per second, and linear velocities ( $v$ ), in inches per second, of a point on the outer edge of the element are, respectively:
