Answer: The cost of one bag of chips is $1.5 and cost of one bag of pretzels is $1.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Cost of one bag of chips

y= Cost of one bag of pretzels.

As per given, we have

5x+9y=16.95        ...(i)

x+y=2.55            ...(ii)

Multiply 5 to (ii), we get

5x+5y=12.75     ...(iii)

Eliminate (iii) from (i), we get

4y=4.2\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=1.05

Put value of y in (ii), we get

x+1.05=2.55\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=2.55-1.05=1.5

Hence, the cost of one bag of chips is $1.5 and cost of one bag of pretzels is $1.05.

Write the standard form of the equation y+4=12/7(x-1)
Goshia [24]
This is the eqn of a str line.    <span>y+4=12/7(x-1) would be clearer if written as

</span><span>y+4=(12/7)(x-1).     y+4 = (12/7)x - 12/7.  

Multiply all terms by 7 to remove the fractions:  7(y+4) = 12x - 12.

Complete the multiplication:                            7y + 28 = 12x - 12.

Arrange the x and y terms on the left side and the constants on the right:

-12x + 7y = -40.  This is standard form.  Some people might disagree and say that -12x + 7y + 40 is standard form.  They are equivalent.

If a tightrope walker falls, he will land on a safety net. His height h in feet after a fall can be modeled by h(t) = 60 - 16t2,
hjlf
As we know that
<span>h = 60 - 16t^2 </span>
<span>t = sqrt((60 - h)/16) </span>
<span>= sqrt((60 - 11)/16) </span>
<span>= 1.75

a. A landscape artist has drawn the outline of a house. Describe three different ways to make sure the corners of the house are
Olenka [21]

Answer:

1. 3-4-5 method

2. Rope method

3. Optical square method

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You'll need a measuring tape, two range poles, pegs, and three people.

The first person holds the zero mark between their thumbs and fingers, the second person holds the 3m mark on the tape between their thumbs and fingers, and the third person holds the 8m. When all sides of the rope are stretched, a triangle is created, and an angle near one is a right angle.

2. Wrap one loop of the rope around peg A with a peg through the other loop, draw a circle on the ground, place pegs B and C where the circle crosses the base line, and place peg D half way between pegs B and C, allowing pegs D and A to form lines perpendicular to the base line, forming a right angle.

3. Single and double prismatic squares are basic devices used to measure correct angles.
