Answer:

  • Book -$20/11 and pencil - $17/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the set price of pencil be p and the set price of book be b

<u>Then we have equations:</u>

  • 2p + 6b = 14
  • 4p + 1b = 8

<u>Simplify the first equation:</u>

  • p + 3b = 7

<u>And substitute p in the second equation: p = 7 - 3b</u>

  • 4(7 - 3b) + b = 8
  • 28 - 12b + b = 8
  • 11b = 20
  • b = 20/11

<u>And finding value of p:</u>

  • p = 7 - 3(20/11) = 1/11(77 - 60) = 17/11

Solve for angle A with sides 6,10,9
OLga [1]

Answer:

c = 13.52 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

So for this, lets use the Law of Sines, which says that:

Sin A / a = Sin B / b = Sin C / c

We have everything for this except the the angle measure of angle C. This can be found by doing 180 - 80 - 33, since the total interior angle measure of a triangle always equals 180 degrees.

180 - 80 - 33 = 67 degrees

With this, we can use the angle & side of A/a as well as the angle of C to get the side of c by using the Law of Sines

Sin A / a = Sin C / c

sin 33/8 = sin 67/c

c = 8*sin67 / sin 33

c = 13.52 units.

HELP PLS!!!
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

B. \frac{60 hours}{1} \times \frac{1 day}{24 hours}

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting 60 hours to days:

24 hours = 1 day

60 hours = x day

Cross multiply

24 hours \times x = 60 hours \times 1 day

Divide both sides by 24 hours

x = \frac{60 hours \times 1 day}{24 hours}

Thus,

\frac{60 hours \times 1 day}{24 hours} = \frac{60 hours}{1} \times \frac{1 day}{24 hours}

The expression that shows how to convert 60 hours to days is:

\frac{60 hours}{1} \times \frac{1 day}{24 hours}
