Let b = the price of the belt
h = the price of the hat
Equation 1
6b + 8h = 140
Equation 2
9b + 6h = 132
Multiply equation 1 by 1.5
1.5(6b + 8h = 140)
9b +12h = 210
Subtract by equation 2
9b-9b +12h-6h = 210-132
6h = 78
h = 13
Substitute h = 13 in equation 1
6b + 8*13 = 140
6b = 140 - 104
6b = 36
b = 6
The price of the hat is $13.00 each
The price of the belt is $6.00 each

Several students and adult chaperones are going on a field trip to the theater. Each student ticket cost $2 and each adult ticke
stiks02 [169]
<span>The answer to this question would be: A. the number of adults
</span>
In this question, there are 4 times as many students as adults going on the trip. If we put it into a function where s= student and a=adult, then we could get one equation:<span>
1. s=4a
</span><span>
Each student ticket cost $2 and each adult ticket cost $4. The total cost of the trip is $144. We also can get one equation for this
2. 2s+ 4a= 144

If you put the first equation into the second, you will get:
</span>2s+4a= 144
2(4a)+4a= 144

The function is already similar with <span>2(4x)+4x but it uses a instead of x. Then x = a = number of adult</span>

A luxury resort is offering an incentive discount. If you book your room six months in advance, you will save 15% off the price
Anna [14]

Answer:the total discounted cost for your stay is $1948.2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you book your room six months in advance, you will save 15% off the price of the room. You decide to take advantage of the offer and book a room for 6 nights. If the original price per night for the room is $382, this means that the value of the discount would be

15/100 × 382 = 0.15 × 382 = $57.3

The cost of the room for a night would be

382 - 57.3 = $324.7

Since you are staying for six nights,

the total discounted cost for your stay would be

324.7 × 6 = $1948.2

What are the slope and y-intercept for the graph of y – 3x = -1?
Liula [17]

Answer:

Slope (m) = 3, y-intercept (b) = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to write the equation in y = mx + b.

To do this, add 3x to both sides.

y = 3x - 1 is your result.

Now, we have everything we need to do determine our slope and y-intercept in just this equation alone.

Remember, m = slope and b = y-intercept.

In this equation:

m = 3

b = -1

So your slope is 3, and your y-intercept is -1
