Trumpet = $174 Clarinet = $149 Violin = $89 Let's write some equations to express what we know. 2t + 3c + 5v = 1240 3t + 1c + 4v = 1027 5t + 7c + 2v = 2091 So we have 3 unknowns and 3 equations. The 2t and 3t are rather interesting in the 1st 2 equations since the 3rd equation has 5t. So if we subtract the 1st and 2nd equations, we can cancel out the t values. So 5t + 7c + 2v = 2091 -( 3t + 1c + 4v = 1027) = 2t + 6c - 2v = 1064 -(2t + 3c + 5v = 1240) = 3c - 7v = -176 Now we can express c in terms of v. 3c - 7v = -176 3c = 7v - 176 c = (7/3)v - 58 2/3 Substitute the expression (7/3)v - 58 2/3 for c in the expression 2t + 3c + 5v = 1240 giving 2t + 3((7/3)v - 58 2/3) + 5v = 1240 and solve for t, first distribute the 3 2t + 7v - 176 + 5v = 1240 Merge the v terms 2t + 12v - 176 = 1240 Add 176 to both sides 2t + 12v = 1240 + 176 = 1416 Subtract 12 v from both sides 2t = 1416 - 12v Divide both sides by 2 t = 708 - 6v Now substitute both 708 - 6v for t and (7/3)v - 58 2/3 for c in 3t + 1c + 4v = 1027 and solve for v 3t + 1c + 4v = 1027 3(708 - 6v) + (7/3)v - 58 2/3 + 4v = 1027 Distribute the 3 3(708 - 6v) + (7/3)v - 58 2/3 + 4v = 1027 2124 - 18v + (7/3)v - 58 2/3 + 4v = 1027 Combine terms 2065 1/3 - (11 2/3)v = 1027 Subtract 2065 1/3 from both sides -(11 2/3)v = 1027 - 2065 1/3 = -1038 1/3 Divide both sides by -11 2/3 v = 89 So we know the violins cost $89 each. Plugging that value into the formula t = 708 - 6v which we created earlier t = 708 - 6v t = 708 - 6 * 89 = 708 - 534 = 174 So we know that a trumpet costs $174 Now plug the price of a violin into the formula c = (7/3)v - 58 2/3 to get the cost of a clarinet. c = (7/3)v - 58 2/3 c = (7/3)89 - 58 2/3 = 207 2/3 - 58 2/3 = 149 And a clarinet is $149 Let's verify 2t + 3c + 5v = 2*174 + 3*149 + 5*89 = 348 + 447 + 445 = 1240 3t + 1c + 4v = 3*174 + 1*149 + 4*89 = 522 + 149 + 356 = 1027 5t + 7c + 2v = 5*174 + 7*149 + 2*89 = 870 + 1043 + 178 = 2091 All the expressions match what was given, so the prices are Trumpet = $174 Clarinet = $149 Violin = $89
57508.5 and 120, it gives you ounces for first one and then asks for pounds and it gives you the number of ounces per pound on the side so you do 920136/16 and for the second you do the same thing but with the number of feet per yard and you would do 360/3
Answer:
15.75
Step-by-step explanation:
If you look at this as a trapezoid, the ratio of the sides AH to PT is 3:2, so just use this ratio for the other parts. 10.5*3/2=15.75
