Answer:

trees cost $15

Shrub cost $7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Rita paid $82 for 5 trees and 1 shrub

5x+y= 82---------1

Lilly bought 2 trees and 1 shrub for $37

2x+y= 37----------2

from 1

y= 82-5x

put the value of y in 2

2x+82-5x= 37

2x-5x= 37-82

-3x=-45

x= 45/3

x=$15

put the value of x in 1

5(x)+y= 82

5*15+y=82

75+y=82

y=82-75

y=$7

Hence, trees cost $15

Shrub cost $7

What is the difference of the rational expressions below?

Stolb23 [73]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to get the denominators to be same first before we can do anything to the numerator.

The LCD (lowest common denominator) is $3x^{3}$ . To find the LCD, multiply the denominators together: $x^{3}$ · $3x$ = $3x^{3$ .

Below, we are trying to get the denominators to equal the same or to $3x^{3}$ .

$\frac{3}{3} (\frac{4}{x^{3} } ) - \frac{x^{2} }{x^{2} } (\frac{2x-1}{3x} )$

$\frac{12}{3x^{3} } - \frac{2x^{3}-x^{2} }{3x^{3} }$

Now that the denominators are the same, we can subtract the numerators from each other.

$\frac{ 12 - (2x^{3} -x^{2})\\}{3x^{3} } \\$

$\frac{12-2x^{3} +x^{2} }{3x^{3} }$

Now, we can just reorganize the variables.

Answer: A or $\frac{-2x^{3} + x^{2}+12 }{3x^{3} }$

Given the following cofunction sin(x - 3)° = cos(2x + 6)°, what is the measure of the smaller angle

Dmitriy789 [7]

Note :

sin(x) = cos (90-x)

Therefore,

sin(x-3) = cos(90-(x-3))

90-[x-3] = 2x+6

90-x+3 = 2x+6

3x = 93-6

x = 31-2

x = 29°
