Answer:

Mrs. grub bought total number of shirts = 1

Mrs. grub bought total number of hats = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Mrs. grub bought total number of shirts = x

Let Mrs. grub bought total number of hats = y

As given,

Price of 1 shirt = $4

Price of 1 hat = $12

⇒ Price of x shirts = $ 4x

   Price of y hats = $ 12y

Given that,

Mrs. Grubb bought total piece of clothes = 9

⇒ x + y = 9     .......(1)

Also given,

She bought all clothing for $100

⇒ 4x + 12 y = 100       ........(2)

Divide equation (2) by 4 we get

x + 3y = 25     .......(3)

Now,

Subtract equation (1) from equation (3) , we get

x + 3y  - ( x + y ) = 25 - 9

⇒ x + 3y - x - y = 16

⇒2y = 16

⇒y = \frac{16}{2} = 8

⇒ y = 8

Put value of y in equation (3), we get

x + 3(8) = 25

⇒x + 24 = 25

⇒x = 25 - 24 = 1

⇒x = 1

∴ we get

Mrs. grub bought total number of shirts = x = 1

Mrs. grub bought total number of hats = y = 8

Find the distance between the points (-10, -9) and (-7, -1).
QveST [7]

Answer:

Distance: 8.5440037453175

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance: 8.5440037453175

Steps:

Distance (d) = √(-7 - -10)2 + (-1 - -9)2

= √(3)2 + (8)2

= √73

= 8.5440037453175

Slope and Angle:

ΔX = -7 – -10 = 3

ΔY = -1 – -9 = 8

Slope (m) =  

ΔY

ΔX

=  

8

3

= 2.6666666666667

θ =  

arctan( ΔY )

ΔX

= 69.443954780417°

Equation of the line:

y = 2.6666666666667x + 17.666666666667

or

y =  

8 x

3

+  53

3

When x=0, y = 17.666666666667

When y=0, x = -6.625

What is the solution to the system of equations? y=-5+3, y=1
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

x = 2/5 and y =1    (2/5, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume that you meant y = -5x + 3.  If that's the case, then we equate

y = -5x + 3 to y = 1, obtaining:

-5x = -2, so that x = 2/5 and y =1.
