Answer:

The system of equations that can be used to find the number of each type sold is given as:

x + y = 17 ...... Equation 1

76x + 141y = 1460....... Equation 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x represent the number of polyester-fill bags sold

y represent the number of down-fill bags sold.

In one week the store sold 17 sleeping bags

x + y = 17 ...... Equation 1

x = 17 - y

At Raging River Sports, polyester-fill sleeping bags sell for $76. Down-fill sleeping bags sell for $141. In one week the store sold 17 sleeping bags for $1,460.

Hence:

$76 × x + $141 × y = $1460

76x + 141y = 1460....... Equation 2

Therefore, the system of equations that can be used to find the number of each type sold is given as:

x + y = 17 ...... Equation 1

76x + 141y = 1460....... Equation 2

Can someone please help me with this question about given two points?Please help ASAP!!! :(
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

<em>The order of subtraction is not important in any of the coordinates</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance Between Two Points

Given two points (x1,y2) (x2,y2), the distance between them is given by the formula

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

The difference between both coordinates is squared, then added, and finally extracted the square root.

Based on the principle that

a*a=a^2

and also

(-a)(-a)=a^2

We can notice it doesn't matter the sign of a the square of a is always positive. If we had subtracted in the opposite way, the distance would have resulted in exactly the same. In other words, the above formula is exactly the same as

d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}

As seen, it applies for both coordinates

PLEASE HELP I WILL GIVE 100 POINTS!!!!!!!!Given rectangle ABCD ~ HGFE , what is the length of HG ?
never [62]
Since rectangle ABCD is similar to  HGFE, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. We can infer form our picture that AD is corresponding to EH and DC is corresponding to HG, so lets find the ratios of those corresponding sides and establish a proportion to find the length of HG:
\frac{AD}{EH} = \frac{DC}{HG}
We know that AD=45, EH=27, and DC=15, so lets replace those values in our proportion:
\frac{45}{27} = \frac{15}{HG}
HG= \frac{27*15}{45}
HG= \frac{405}{45}
HG=9

We can conclude that the length of the segment HG is 9.
