Answer:
paper clips = $1.85
index cards = $3.95
Step-by-step explanation:
Mark
12 paper clips = x
10 index cards = y
$61.70 total
Janice
15 paper clips = x
7 index cards = y
$55.40 total
12x + 10y = 61.70
15x + 7y = 55.40
*** you want to cancel out one of the letters
(12x + 10y = 61.70) * -7
(15x + 7y = 55.40) * 10
-84x -70y = -431.9
150x + 70y = 554.0
150x + 70y = 554.0
-84x -70y = -431.9
66x + 0 = 122.1
66x = 122.1
x = 122.1 ÷ 66
x = 1.85
plug it back in
15(1.85) + 7y = 55.40
27.75 + 7y = 55.40
7y = 55.40 - 27.75
7y = 27.65
y = 27.65 ÷ 7
y = 3.95
Create an equation using the formula for area of a rectangle; area = width * length
(X + 2)(x + 3) = 600
Multiply the dimensions.
X^2 + 3x + 2x +6 = 600, or simplified x^2 +5x + 6 = 600.
Subtract 600 to get the following:
X^2 + 5x - 594 = 0
Factor by x:
(X - 22)(x + 27) = 0
Solve for x
X - 22 = 0
X = 22.
Use the POSITIVE VALUE of x as you can’t have a negative area for a room.
Then substitute 22 for x to get the dimensions
(22+ 2) or 24 for length and (22+3) or 25 for width.
Answer:
a = 10, b = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
4+2(5x-8) = ax +b
4 + 10x - 16 = ax + b
10x - 12 = ax + b
Infinitely many solutions when:
a = 10
b = -12
This means for every 5 students there will be 1 teacher so 550/5=110
So answer is 110 teachers
The value of angle Y is -120° because you know that angle S is half of angle Y and -60*2 equals -120°. Hope that helps!
