Arturiano [62]3 years ago

Answer:

We'll use the variable x to represent last year's price. First, we have to set up an equation:

We get this equation because $13.25 is 6% MORE than last year's price, meaning we need to add the original price to the increase. Next, we combine like terms and solve for x:

Last year's price was $12.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pilar says that two linear systems below have the same solution. (see picture) Is she correct? Explain.
wariber [46]
The first set:

3x + 2y = 2  ---1)
5x + 4y = 6  ---2)

From 1), multiply all by 2, 6x + 4y = 4  ---3)

3) - 2),

6x + 4y - (5x + 4y) = 6 - 4
6x + 4y - 5x - 4y = 2
x = 2

Sub in x = 2 into 1),

3(2) + 2y = 2
2y = -4
y = -2

(2 , -2)


The second set:

3x + 2y = 2  ---1)
11x + 8y = 10  ---2)

From 1), multiply all by 4, 12x + 8y = 8 ---3)

3) - 2),

12x + 8y - (11x + 8y) = 8 - 10
12x + 8y - 11x - 8y = -2
x = -2

From this x value alone, we can tell that these two linear systems do NOT have the same solution as they meet at different coordinates.

Hope this helped! Ask me if there's any working from here that you don't understand! :)

What is the distance between the points (-6,7) and (-1,1)?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

\sqrt{61}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance, we first do B - A, where B is (-6, 7) and A is (-1, 1):

(-6, 7) - (-1, 1) = (-6+1, 7-1) = (-5, 6)

Imagine it as a triangle, where the hypotenuse is the distance, and -5 and 6 are the lengths of the sides.  

To find the hypotenuse (Pythagorean Theorem):  \sqrt{(-5)^2+6^2} =\sqrt{25+36} =\sqrt{61}

The answer is the square root of 61.

Find the slope of the table below a.5,b.1,c.1/5, d.10​
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Slope=2/10 or 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, pick the numbers you want to use for slope. I will be using -10 as x1, 0 as x2, -1 and y1, and 1 for y2. The formula for slope is y2-y1/x2-x1.

Plug in these numbers: 1+1 (two negatives make a positive)/0+10(again, two negatives combine to make a positive)

This makes 2/10, which divided eaquals 0.2.

You can use either 2/10 or 0.2 as your answer, depending on what your teacher requires. Have a nice day and let me know if you have any questions!! :)

Answer:

150+12x=630

Step-by-step explanation:

The x represents the amount of months and it is multiplied by 12 because each month costs 12$. 150 have to be paid up front and this added to the monthly fee is equal to 630$

valina [46]

Answer:

60 sold

Step-by-step explanation:

4/5 of 75 new houses sold this year comes out to 60 new houses sold.  Just multiply the total (75 houses) by this fraction (4/5).
