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.

If r and s are positive integers, is \small \frac{r}{s} an integer? (1) Every factor of s is also a factor of r. (2) Every prime
Yuri [45]

Answer:

<em>If statement(1) holds true, it is correct that </em>\small \frac{r}{s}<em> is an integer.</em>

<em>If statement(2) holds true, it is not necessarily correct that </em>\small \frac{r}{s}<em> is an integer.</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two positive integers r and s.

To check whether \small \frac{r}{s} is an integer:

Condition (1):

Every factor of s is also a factor of r.

r \geq s

Let us consider an example:

s = 5^2 \cdot 2\\r = 5^3 \cdot 2^2

\dfrac{r}{s} = \dfrac{5^3\cdot2^2}{5^2\cdot2} = 10

which is an integer.

Actually, in this situation s is a factor of r.

Condition 2:

Every prime factor of <em>s</em> is also a prime factor of <em>r</em>.

(But the powers of prime factors need not be equal as we are not given the conditions related to powers of prime factors.)

Let

r = 2^2\cdot 5\\s =2^4\cdot 5

\dfrac{r}{s} = \dfrac{2^3\cdot5}{2^4\cdot5} = \dfrac{1}{2}

which is not an integer.

So, the answer is:

<em>If statement(1) holds true, it is correct that </em>\small \frac{r}{s}<em> is an integer.</em>

<em>If statement(2) holds true, it is not necessarily correct that </em>\small \frac{r}{s}<em> is an integer.</em>

What is the circumference of the given circle in terms of pi 12in ( 1 point?
mina [271]
The circumference of a circle is calculated through the equation,
                             C = 2πr
where C is circumference and r is radius. For this item, I assume that 12 in is the radius such that,
                            C = 2π(12 in) = 24π
Thus, the circumference of the circle is 24π inches.
