Question is Incomplete; Complete question is given below;

Cloud Nine is having a sale on all shirts and pants in the store. Olivia purchased 8 shirts and 4 pairs of pants for $176. Raheem purchased 3 shirts and 4 pairs of pants for $116. Let x represent the price of a shirt and y represent the price of a pair of pants. Write a system of equations, and use the elimination method to find a reasonable price for a pair of pants.

Answer:

The system of equations are \left \{ {{8x+4y=176} \atop {3x+4y=116}} \right.

The reasonable price for pair of pants is $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of shirt be 'x'.

Let price of pair of pants be 'y'.

Given:

Olivia purchased 8 shirts 4 pairs of pants for $176

So we can say that;

8 multiplied by the price of shirt plus 4 multiplied by the price of pair of  pants is equal to 176.

framing in equation form we get;

8x+4y=176 \ \ \ \ equation \ 1

Also Given:

Raheem purchased 3 shirts and 4 pairs of pants for 116.

So we can say that;

3 multiplied by the price of shirt plus 4 multiplied by the price of pair of pants is equal to 116.

framing in equation form we get;

3x+4y=116 \ \ \ \ equation \ 2

Hence the system of equation are \left \{ {{8x+4y=176} \atop {3x+4y=116}} \right.

Now by using elimination method we will subtract equation 2 from equation 1 we get;

(8x+4y)-(3x+4y)=176-116\\\\8x+4y-3x-4y = 60\\\\5x =60\\\\x=\frac{60}{5}=\$12

Now Substituting the value of x in equation 1 we get;

8x+4y=176\\\\8\times 12+4y =176\\\\96+4y=176\\\\4y =176-96\\\\4y = 80\\\\y= \frac{80}{4} =\$ 20

Hence The reasonable price for pair of pants is $20.

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

the answer cannot be 5. Why? Because the minimum will occur when 12 and 5 point in opposite directions like both are on the x axis pointing to 0 from the east and pointing to zero coming from the west.

12 - 5 = 7

You cannot get a result less than that.

r = radius

r = 7

A = π(7)²

= 49π

= 153.938040026 → 154 cm²

vladimir2022 [97]
Tyler finished more of the art project.

Carlos finished 1/3
In terms of percentage 1/3 *100% = 33.3%

Tyler finished 1/2
In terms of percentage 1/2 *100% = 50%

50% > 33.3%
50% is greater than 33.3%
