Cost for a carnation is $0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Rose = x

Carnation = y

According to given statement;

8x+5y=31.75   Eqn 1

x+3y=5.75   Eqn 2

Multiplying\ Eqn\ 2\ by\ 8\\8(x+3y=5.75)\\8x+24y=46 \ \ \ Eqn\ 3\\Subtracting\ Eqn\ 1\ from\ Eqn\ 3\\(8x+24y)-(8x+5y)=46-31.75\\8x+24y-8x-5y=14.25\\19y=14.25\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 19\\\frac{19y}{19}=\frac{14.25}{19}\\y=0.75

Cost for a carnation is $0.75

write a equation in slope-intercept form for the line that is parallel to y=2x-8 and passes through the point(1,5).
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

y = 2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x - 8   passes through ( 1,5 )

y = 2x + 3 is parallel to y = 2x - 8 because it has the same m( 2x)

and it also passes through ( 1, 5 )

Please help!!!!!!! How many inches would a point on the outer edge of the large gear travel in a 150º rotation? (The gear has a
damaskus [11]
In a full rotation, 360°, a point on the edge of a gear would travel a distance equal to its circumference.  The circumference of a circle is:

C=2πr, and since we are only traveling 150°, we need to set up an appropriate ratio for circumference to the distance the point travels:

d/C=150/360

d=5C/12 and since C=2πr

d=10πr/12

d=5πr/12, and since r=4in

d=5*4π/12 in

d=20π/12 in

d=5π/3 in

d≈5.24 in (to nearest hundredth of an inch)

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

shop b

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find for example how much 100 grams of peanut butter cost in each shop using a proportion

shop A 100 : 250 = x : 325

x = (325 * 100) / 250 = $130

shop B  100 : 340 = x : 408

x = (408 * 100)/ 340 = $120

We discovered that shop B is cheaper
