Answer:

  3r +5c = 60

  6r +4c = 80

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many aspects of "this situation" that could be described by equations. We are guessing that you want equations that will help you determine the costs of a record and a CD, assuming the costs are the same for each instance of the media.

Let r and c represent the costs of a record and a CD, respectively.

  3r +5c = 60 . . . . . . . the value of the first purchase

  6r +4c = 80 . . . . . . . the value of the second purchase

These equations comprise a linear system describing an aspect of the situation.

_____

<em>Comment on the question</em>

The numbers make no sense, as the cost of a CD is $(6 2/3), the cost of a record is $(8 8/9).

Help with this I don't know how to solve
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

86.53

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Triangle Formula: A = 1/2bh

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

Step 1: Draw altitude and label numbers

If we draw a line down the middle, we can see that we get a perpendicular bisector and that we get 2 right triangles with a hypotenuse of 29 and a leg of 3. We need to find <em>h</em> using Pythagorean Theorem in order to use area formula:

3² + b² = 29²

b² = 29² - 3²

b = √832 = h

Step 2: Plug in known variables into area formula:

A = 1/2(√832)(6)

A = 3√832

A = 86.5332

A pool is being drained at a rate of 120 gallons per minute.What is this rate in quarts per hour?
zysi [14]
There are 4 quarts in 1 gallon, so a rate of 120 gallons per minute converts to 4 x 120 = 480 quarts per minute. To find the per hour rate, we simply multiply our per minute rate by 60, obtaining 480 x 60 = 28800 quarts per hour.
