Answer:

The total cost of 5 pillows and 7 sheets is $205.345

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of pillow case

We are given that the price of the pillows is 3 times as much as the price of a pillow case

Price of pillow = 3x

Price of 2 pillows = 2(3x)=6x

Price of 3 pillow case = 3x

At a store, 2 pillows and 3 pillow cases together cost $73.08.

So, 6x+3x=73.08

9x=73.08

$x=\frac{73.08}{9}$

x=8.12

So, Price of 1 pillow case = 8.12

Price of 1 pillow = 3x=3(8.12)=24.36

Price of 3 pillow =3(24.36)=73.08

Let y be the cost of 1 sheet

The total cost of 3 pillows and 4 sheets is $120.82

So, 73.08+4y=120.82

$y=\frac{120.82-73.08}{4}$

y=11.935

Price of 1 sheet = 11.935

Price of 7 sheets = 7(11.935)=83.545

Price of 5 pillows =5(24.36)=121.8

So,the total cost of 5 pillows and 7 sheets=83.545+121.8=205.345

Hence the total cost of 5 pillows and 7 sheets is $205.345

1. What is the y-intercept? 4x+5y = -15 a. (3, 0) b. (0,-3) c. (x, 0) d. (y, 0)

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The y-intercept is answer b. (0, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y-intercept, fill in x with 0.

4x + 5y = -15

4(0) + 5y = -15

0 + 5y = -15

5y = -15

y = -3

So, the y-intercept would be (0, -3).

Cube root 343 ^-3/ root 4 81

zlopas [31]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{1029}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{343^{-3}}}{\sqrt[4]{81} }$

$\boxed{\text{Property: } a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^{b}}}$

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{343^{3}} }}{\sqrt[4]{81} }$

$\frac{\frac{\sqrt[3]{1} }{\sqrt[3]{343^3} } }{\sqrt[4]{81} }$

$\frac{\frac{1 }{343} }{3}$

$\frac{342 \cdot \frac{1 }{343} }{343 \cdot 3}$

$\frac{1}{1029}$

2. One angle is one less than six times the measure of

Illusion [34]

The equations used to find the measure of each angle in degrees is x + y = 90 and x = 6y - 1

The two complementary angles are 77 degrees and 13 degrees

Solution:

Given that two angles are complementary angles

Complementary angles are two angles whose sum is 90 degrees

Let one of the angle be "x" and the other angle be "y"

Therefore,

x + y = 90 ------ eqn 1

Also given that,

One angle is one less than six times the measure of another

one angle = six times the other angle - 1

x = 6y - 1 ------ eqn 2

Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

6y - 1 + y = 90

Thus the above equation is used to find the measure of each angle in degrees

Solve the above equation

6y + y - 1 = 90

7y - 1 = 90

7y = 91

y = 13

Substitute y = 13 in eqn 2

x = 6(13) - 1

x = 78 - 1

x = 77

Thus the two complementary angles are 77 degrees and 13 degrees

a chef has 5 blocks of butter. Each weights 1 pound. she cuts each block into fourths. how many 1/4 pound pieces of butter does

lianna [129]

The answer would be 20 because you have 5 blocks that are cut into 1/4. It doesn't say anything about any of the pieces disappearing or being used yet so you multiply 4*5 and then you get the answer.
