8 t-shirts and 5 pairs of pants cost $220 how much does each t-shirt and pair of pants cost

Yakvenalex [24]

Hey, It looks like you're in Algebra and I'm here to give the best solution I can!

To write the equation, you are going to use the Standard Form. Standard Form is one way of solving this problem, and it is used to find the x,and y-intercepts of a problem.
Standard Form can be written using the equation ax+by=c

In your problem, you will write the equation like so, with 'x' representing T-Shirts, and 'y' representing pants:

8x+5y=220
Now, in order to find the x-intercept you need to substitute a 0 for the 'y' variable and solve the new equation, 8x=220.
I'm sure you know you need to divide both sides by 8 which will give you the answer x=27.5.

Now, in order to find 'y' you would substitute a 0 for the 'x' variable which will give you an equation that should look like 5y=220.
Then, divided both sides by 5 to get your y-intercept.
y=44

Finally,you know that each T-Shirt (x) is $27.50, and each pair of pants(y)costs $44

-I hope this helped you, Sincerely, Auhrevo!

Find an equation of the line that goes through the points (10,34) and (-1,10)

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Given points are ( 10 ,34 ) and ( -1 , 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line is given by 

first we can find slope (m) 

= (y2 - y1) / ( x2 - x1)

= 34-10/10+1

 =24/11

Now the equation is

y - y1 = m ( x - x1) 

y - 10 = 24/11 ( x +11)

11 ( y - 10 ) = 24 (x + 11)

11y - 110 = 24x + 264

24x + 264 +110-11y =0

24x - 11y + 374 = 0

which is the required equation

Find a degree 4 polynomial having zeros -8,-1,4 and 5 and the coefficient of x^4 equal 1.

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

x^4 -53x^2 +108x +160

Step-by-step explanation:

If a is a zero, then (x-a) is a factor. For the given zeros, the factors are ...

p(x) = (x +8)(x +1)(x -4)(x -5)

Multiplying these out gives the polynomial in standard form.

= (x^2 +9x +8)(x^2 -9x +20)

We note that these factors have a sum and difference with the same pair of values, x^2 and 9x. We can use the special form for the product of these to simplify our working out.

= (x^2 +9x)(x^2 -9x) +20(x^2 +9x) +8(x^2 -9x) +8(20)

= x^4 -81x^2 +20x^2 +180x +8x^2 -72x +160

p(x) = x^4 -53x^2 +108x +160

_____

The graph shows this polynomial has the required zeros.
