No.

Since w = 8, you must replace the variable with the number associated to it.

So, it would be 5 + 8 = 58

5 + 8 is not equal to 58, it is equal to 13.

If you wanted to find out what w was, simply subtract 5 on both sides.

w = 58 - 5

Question is Incomplete; Complete question is given below;

Cloud Nine is having a sale on all shirts and pants in the store. Olivia purchased 8 shirts and 4 pairs of pants for $176. Raheem purchased 3 shirts and 4 pairs of pants for $116. Let x represent the price of a shirt and y represent the price of a pair of pants. Write a system of equations, and use the elimination method to find a reasonable price for a pair of pants.

Answer:

The system of equations are $\left \{ {{8x+4y=176} \atop {3x+4y=116}} \right.$

The reasonable price for pair of pants is $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of shirt be 'x'.

Let price of pair of pants be 'y'.

Given:

Olivia purchased 8 shirts 4 pairs of pants for $176

So we can say that;

8 multiplied by the price of shirt plus 4 multiplied by the price of pair of pants is equal to 176.

framing in equation form we get;

$8x+4y=176 \ \ \ \ equation \ 1$

Also Given:

Raheem purchased 3 shirts and 4 pairs of pants for 116.

So we can say that;

3 multiplied by the price of shirt plus 4 multiplied by the price of pair of pants is equal to 116.

framing in equation form we get;

$3x+4y=116 \ \ \ \ equation \ 2$

Hence the system of equation are $\left \{ {{8x+4y=176} \atop {3x+4y=116}} \right.$

Now by using elimination method we will subtract equation 2 from equation 1 we get;

$(8x+4y)-(3x+4y)=176-116\\\\8x+4y-3x-4y = 60\\\\5x =60\\\\x=\frac{60}{5}=\$12$

Now Substituting the value of x in equation 1 we get;

$8x+4y=176\\\\8\times 12+4y =176\\\\96+4y=176\\\\4y =176-96\\\\4y = 80\\\\y= \frac{80}{4} =\$ 20$

Hence The reasonable price for pair of pants is $20.

Which diagram represents the vector addition C=A+B. Which represents vector subtraction C=A-B?

olga55 [171]

If the vectors point towards the same direction, the magnitude of the vector quantities are added as in, C = A + B. If they point towards opposite direction, the magnitudes are subtracted giving a resultant vector equal to C = A - B.

Two cards are chosen from a standard deck of 52 playing cards without replacement. What is the probability that the first card i

Rashid [163]

For the first draw, the probability of an ace is ( 4 / 52 ).

Now there are only 51 cards left in the deck.

For the second draw, the probability of a king is ( 4 / 51 ).

The probability of both events is

(4/52) (4/41) = (16/2,652)

Divide top and bottom by 4:

(16/2,652) = <em>4/663</em> . That's <em>choice-C </em>.
