Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi! So what we're gonna want to do here is set up a system of equations. Lets say x = regular baskets and y = deluxe baskets. You would set up the system like this:

28x + 24y = 1,188

28x + 13y = 836

So since the number before the x is the same in both equations, we are going to want to cancel that out.

28x + 24y = 1,188

-1(28x + 13y = 836)

----------------

28x + 24y = 1,188

-28x - 13y = -836

Add the two equations together! There will be no x value :)

11y = 352

y = 32... The deluxe basket is going to cost $32

Put the y value into one of the equations to solve for x.

28x + 13(32) = 836

28x + 416 = 836

28x = 420

x = 15... The regular basket will cost $15

Hope this helps!

Write and solve an equation to find the unknown angle.
Julli [10]
There's many properties you can use to find an unknown angle.

There are too many to lists but one core example would be an isosceles triangle that has two adjacent sides and angles.

Let's say that the sides of an isosceles triangle are any number "x"

now since two sides of the triangle are the same we can add these two x's together.

x+x = 2x

now the other side of the triangle can be anything you like. We can call it 4x for this example.

now if we add them all together we'll get 4x+2x=6x

Now since the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees
we can equate 6x=180 leaving x to be 30.

Now since x belongs to both sides of the triangle we can say that both angles are congruent as well because the two sides of the triangle are congruent. This is a known triangle law.

Since both angles are now 30 degrees this will leave us with 2(30) = 60

now if we subtract 180 - 60 we'll get 120 which is the remainder of the 3rd angle of the side that corresponds with 4x.
