A party rental company has chairs and tables for rent. The total cost to rent 2 chairs and 5 tables is $53. The total cost to re

nt 8 chairs and 3 tables is $42. What is the cost to rent each chair and each table?

Answer:

c=cost of one chair rental

t=cost of one table rental

8c+3t=42

2c+5t=53

multiply the second equation, each term on both sides, by -4

8c+3t=42

-8c-20t=-212

add the two equations

-17t=-170

divide both sides by -17

t=$10 to rent one table

substitute t=10 into either original equation

2c+5(10)=53

2c+50=53

2c=3

c=$1.50 to rent one chair

the slope-intercept form of an equation of the line perpendicular to the graph of x – 3y = 5 and passing through (0, 6).

Leona [35]

Answer:

y = - 3x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange x - 3y = 5 into this form

Subtract x from both sides

- 3y = - x + 5 ( divide all terms by - 3 )

y = $\frac{1}{3}$ x - $\frac{5}{3}$ ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = $\frac{1}{3}$

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3} }$ = - 3

Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 6) ⇒ c = 6

y = - 3x + 6 ← equation of perpendicular line

Find the value of y and x in the figure

Fed [463]

First, find the interior angle missing:

$180-135=45$

Then, we know all the interior angles in a triangle add up to 180º. So, we add all the values for the interior angles and we equate them to 180. We solve the equation normally.

$45+(4z+9)+(5y+5)=180\\45+4z+9+5y+5=180\\59+4z+5y=180\\4z+5y=180-59\\4z+5y=121$

After that, we must add the two angles on a straight line on the right-hand side and equate them to 180.

$(4z+9)+(9y-2)=180\\4z+9+9y-2=180\\7+4z+9y=180\\4z+9y=180-7\\4z+9y=173$

We compare the equations:

$4z+5y=121\\4z+9y=173$

We simultaneously solve by isolating one of the variables ( $y$ ) in one of the equations ( $4z+5y=121$ ) and substituting into the other ( $4z+9y=173$ ):

$4z+5y=121\\4z+9y=173\\\\4z+5y=121 => 4z=121-5y\\\\4z+9y=173\\(121-5y)+9y=173\\121-5y+9y=173\\121+4y=173\\4y = 173-121\\4y=52\\y=52/4\\y=13$

We substitute it back into the first formula, the one in which we isolated the variable ( $4z+5y=121$ ):

$y=13\\\\4z+5y=121\\4z+5(13)=121\\4z+65=121\\4z=121-65\\4z=56\\z=56/4\\z=14$

We now check our answer using the formula we know about the internal angles of a triangle ( $a+b+c=180$ ):

$a+b+c=180\\a=45,b=(5y+5),c=(4z+9),y=13,z=14\\45+(5y+5)+(4z+9)=180\\45+5(13)+5+4(14)+9=180\\45+65+5+56+9=180\\180=180$

Now, if $180=180$ , then we are correct!

So, in conclusion, $y=13$ and $z = 14$ .

If a sequence contains only whole numbers, which of these sequences could include the term 27?

erik [133]

Depending on the first term, the sequences
$a_n=2a_{n-1}+1
\\
\\a_n=3a_{n-1}
\\
\\a_n=a_{n-1}+6$
would work.

If the sequence began at 6,
$a_n=2a_{n-1}+1=6, 13, 27, ...$

If the sequence began at 1,
$a_n=3a_{n-1}=1, 3, 9, 27, ...$

If the sequence began at 3,
$a_n=a_{n-1}+6=3, 9, 15, 21, 27, ...$
