Answer:

So Philip made 5 bracelets and 4 necklaces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of bracelets and y = number of necklaces.

Since we have a total of 9 bracelets and necklaces,

x + y = 9 (1)

Also, we have 8 inches of cord for each bracelet and 20 inches of cord for each necklace, then the total length for the bracelet is 8x and that for the necklace is 20y.

So, the total length for both is 8x + 20y. Since the total length of cord used is 120 inches,

8x + 20y = 120 (2)

Simplifying it we have

2x + 5y = 30  (3).

Writing equations (1) and (3) in matrix form, we have

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\2&5\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}9\\30\end{array}\right]

Using Cramer's rule to solve for x and y,

x = det \left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&1\\30&5\end{array}\right] /det \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\2&5\end{array}\right] \\

x = (9 × 5 - 30 × 1) ÷ (1 × 5 - 1 × 2)

x = (45 - 30) ÷ (5 - 2)

x = 15 ÷ 3

x = 5

y = det \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&9\\2&30\end{array}\right] /det \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\2&5\end{array}\right] \\

y = (30 × 1 - 9 × 2) ÷ (1 × 5 - 1 × 2)

y = (30 - 18) ÷ (5 - 2)

y = 12 ÷ 3

y = 4

So Philip made 5 bracelets and 4 necklaces.

Find the exact value of sin 105º.
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

sin 105 = sin (45 + 60) = sin 45 cos 60 + cos 45 sin 60, or

                                    = (1 / √2)(1 / 2)        + (1 / √2)(√3 / 2)

                                         1 + √3

                                    = -------------

                                           2√2

tester [92]

Answer:

The expression giving her net earnings for a day with more than 8 hours worked is X = 80 + 15H, where H means "extra hours worked".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Daisy works at an ice-cream parlor earning $10 per hour for the first 8 hours she works in a day, and 1.5 times her hourly wage for every extra hour she works, in order to know how much can she make in a day working more than 8 hours the following equation has to be made:

X = (8 x 10) + (H x (1.5 x 10))

X = 80 + 15H

Therefore, if Daisy works 13 hours, the equation works as follows:

X = 80 + 15x13

X = 80 + 195

X = 275
