Answer:

k = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = kx

15 = k(3)

k = 15/3

k = 5

Create an equivalent system of these equations and test your solution <br> x + y = 1<br> x 3y =9
ad-work [718]
An equvilent equation
remember you can do anything to an equation as long asyou do it to both sides


assuming yo have
x+y=1 and
x-3y=9
mulitply both by 2
2x+2y=2
2x-6y=18
those are equvilent



ok, solve initial

x+y=1
x-3y=9
multiply first equation by -1 and add to 2nd equation


-x-y=-1
<u>x-3y=9 +</u>
0x-4y=8

-4y=8
divide both sides by -4
y=-2

sub back
x+y=1
x-2=1
add 2
x=3


x=3
y=-2
(3,-2)

if we test it in other one

2x+2y=2
2(3)+2(-2)=2
6-4=2
2=2
yep

2x-6y=18
2(3)-6(-2)=18
6+12=18
18=18
yep


solution is (3,-2)

TANGENT LINES FIND PERIMETER
Harlamova29_29 [7]
There is a theorem that says that, two tangent lines onto a circle that start from the same point are equal. For example, if we were to label the polygon ABCD, the tangent lines going from point A are equal, the lines going from point B are equal, etc.

Since we now know this rule, we can see that, for each point of the polygon you are given 1 out of 2 tangent lines for that point. Using this theorem, we can say that the other tangent line is equal to the first.

So, the bottom two tangents are 98 and 98, the right-side are both 22 and 22, the top are both 27 and 27, and the left are 22 and 22. We need to find the perimeter, or the sum of all the sides of the polygon. Seeing as the sides of the polygon are formed by all the tangent lines, we just have to find the sum of all the tangent lines.

98 + 98 + 22 + 22 + 27 + 27 + 22 + 22 =
= 196 + 88 + 54 (or 2*98 + 4*22 + 2+27) =
= 338 inches

I hope this wasnt too confusing.

Answer:

<h3>Princeton Florist</h3>

Let the total charge is y, the number of small arrangements is x.

<u>Total charge will be:</u>

  • y = 13x + 47
<h3>Chad's Flowers</h3>

<u>Total charge will be:</u>

  • y = 17x + 35

<u>Since the total charge is same in both shops, we have:</u>

  • 13x + 47 = 17x + 35

<u>Solve for x:</u>

  • 17x - 13x = 47 - 35
  • 4x = 12
  • x = 3

<u>Total cost is:</u>

  • 13*3 + 47 = 39 + 47 = 86

<u>Small arrangements</u> = 3, <u>cost </u>= $86
