Answer:

Shirts: $8

Pants: $13

Step-by-step explanation:

2 shirts and 2 pairs of pants costs $42.

2x + 2y = 42

3 shirts and 1 pair of pants costs $37.

3x + y = 37

Use substitution to solve. Rearrange the second equation so that it is equal to y. Plug in the value for y into the first equation.

3x + y = 37

y = 37 - 3x

2x + 2y = 42

2x + 2(37 - 3x) = 42

2x + 74 - 6x = 42

74 - 4x = 42

-4x = -32

x = 8

Now that you have the value for x, solve for y using one of the equations. I will use the first equation, but you can use the other one and still get the right answer.

2x + 2y = 42

2(8) + 2y = 42

16 + 2y = 42

2y = 26

y = 13

The shirts cost $8, and the pants cost $13.

Solve x2 − 7x + 12 = 0.<br> x = −3, x = −4<br> x = 3, x = 4<br> x = 2, x = 6<br> x = −2, x = −6

UNO [17]

Answer:

x=4, x=3

B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: $x^2-7x+12=0$

Using middle term splitting factor the left side equation.

$x^2-4x-3x+12=0$

$(x-4)(x-3)=0$

Equate each factor to 0 and solve for x

x-4=0 or x-3=0

x=4 and x=3

Hence, The solution of the equation is 4 or 3

Match the y-coordinate with the given x-coordinate for the equation y = log10x.

Andrew [12]

The non-algebraic functions are called transcendental functions. This include the logarithmic function. The definition of Logarithmic Function with Base a is as follows:

$For \ x\ \textgreater \ 0, \ a \ \textgreater \ 0, \ and \ a \neq 1 \\ \\ y=log_{a}x \ if \ and \ only \ if \ x=a^{y} \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ f(x)=log_{a}x \\ \\ is \ called \ the \ logarithmic \ function \ with \ base \ a.$

We know that the equations is:

$y=log(10x)$

So let's solve each case:

Case 1

$x=\frac{1}{100} \\ \\ y=log(10(\frac{1}{100})) \\ \\ \therefore y=log(\frac{1}{10}) \\ \\ \therefore y=-1 \\ \\ So: \\ \\ \boxed{\ x=\frac{1}{100}} \ matches \ to \ \boxed{y=-1}$

Case 2

$x=\frac{1}{10} \\ \\ y=log(10(\frac{1}{10})) \\ \\ \therefore y=log(1) \\ \\ \therefore y=0 \\ \\ So: \\ \\ \boxed{\ x=\frac{1}{10}} \ matches \ to \ \boxed{y=0}$

Case 3

$x=1 \\ \\ y=log(10(1)) \\ \\ \therefore y=log(10) \\ \\ \therefore y=1 \\ \\ So: \\ \\ \boxed{\ x=1} \ matches \ to \ \boxed{y=1}$

Case 4

$x=10 \\ \\ y=log(10(10)) \\ \\ \therefore y=log(100) \\ \\ \therefore y=2 \\ \\ So: \\ \\ \boxed{\ x=10} \ matches \ to \ \boxed{y=2}$

Case 5

$x=100 \\ \\ y=log(10(100)) \\ \\ \therefore y=log(1000) \\ \\ \therefore y=3 \\ \\ So: \\ \\ \boxed{x=100} \ matches \ to \ \boxed{y=3}$
