A clothing store is having a sale on shirts and jeans. Four shirts and two pairs of jeans cost $78. Three shirts and five pairs

of jeans cost $111. The system of equations
4s + 2j = 78
3s + 5j = 111
models this situation, where s is the cost of a shirt and j is the cost of a pair of jeans. How much does one shirt and one pair of jeans cost?

Answer:

One shirt is $12 and one pair of jeans is $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by -4:

12s + 6j = 234

-12s - 20j = -444

Add these together, and solve for j:

-14j = -210

j = 15

So, a pair of jeans is $15. Plug in 15 as j into one of the equations and solve for s:

3s + 5j = 111

3s + 5(15) = 111

3s + 75 = 111

3s = 36

s = 12

One shirt is $12 and one pair of jeans is $15.

When playing the roulette at a casino, you have exactly 1/35 chance of winning in each round if you play a single number. Your f
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

0.2275 = 22.75% probability that you actually won that round

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Fireworks going off

Event B: You won

Probability of fireworks going off.

100% of 1/35 = 0.0286(when you win)

10% of 34/35 = 0.9714(you lost). So

P(A) = 0.0286 + 0.1*0.9714 = 0.12574

Probability of you winning and fireworks going off:

100% of 1/35, so P(A \cap B) = 0.0286

If you failed to see the outcome of a round, but you see the fireworks going off, then what is the probability that you actually won that round?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.0286}{0.12574} = 0.2275

0.2275 = 22.75% probability that you actually won that round

Which additional fact proves that ΔRST and ΔWXY are congruent if ∠T ≅ ∠Y and RT ≅ WY?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Hence, option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the fact such that ΔRST and ΔWXY are congruent.

Since, we are given: ∠T ≅ ∠Y  and  RT ≅ WY.

we are given the following assumptions:

∠W = x + 5  

∠X = 3x - 9


∠Y = 2x + 4

as we are given one angle congruent and one side congruent so in order to prove two triangles are congruent we just need to show that one more pair of angles are congruent.

so from the two triangle we could have that ∠W≅∠R

and ∠X≅∠S

Now we will go by options:

A)

if ∠S=2x+20 then as ∠X≅∠S.

3x-9=2x+20

x=29

∠S=∠W=78°.

B)

if ∠R = 2x + 20 then as  ∠W≅∠R

⇒  x+5=2x+20

⇒ x= -15 which is not possible as it will make measure of angle W negative (x+5= -15+5= -10)

C)

if ∠S=2x^2+5 then as  ∠X≅∠S.

⇒ 3x-9=2x^2+5

⇒ 2x^2-3x+14=0

on solving this quadratic equation we will get complex zeros.

Hence, option (C) is not correct.

D)

if ∠R =  2x

^2

+ 5 then as ∠W≅∠R.

⇒ x+5=

2x

^2

+ 5

⇒ 2x^2-x=0

⇒ x(2x-1)=0

either x=0 or x=1/2 which is not  possible.

because by putting this x value in all the angles we see that sum of all the angles of a triangle is not equal  to 180°

Hence, option D is not possible.

Hence, option A is correct.

3x+7= x-1 does x = -4?
vaieri [72.5K]
Subtract x from both sides:
(3x - x) + 7 = (x - x) - 1

3x - x = 2x:
2x + 7 = (x - x) - 1

x - x = 0:
2x + 7 = -1

Subtract 7 from both sides:
2x + (7 - 7) = -7 - 1

7 - 7 = 0:
2x = -7 - 1

-7 - 1 = -8:
2x = -8

Divide both sides by 2:
2x / 2 = -8 / 2

2 / 2 = 1:
x = -8 / 2

The gcd (greatest common denominator) of 8 and 2 is 2:
-8 / 2 = 2(-4) / 2x1 = 2/2 x - 4 = -4

x = -4

Find the equation of the midline of the function y = 2 sin(1∕4x) – 3.
Aneli [31]
<h3>Answer:  A) y = -3</h3>

Explanation:

The general sine equation is

y = A*sin(B(x-C)) + D

where the D variable directly determines the midline. In this case, D = -3, so that corresponds to a midline of y = -3

The sine curve oscillates going up and down, passing through this middle horizontal line infinitely many times. See the graph below.
