Answer:

5 shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use the problem to get an equation:

65+15x=50+20x

subtract 50 from each side to get:

15+15x=20x

subtract 15x from each side to get:

15=5x

divide each side by 5 to get your answer:

x=5

If pq=3 and pq+rs=5, then 3+rs=5 is an example of the _________.

Mrrafil [7]

<span>This is an example of the substitution property of equality, meaning that if pq = 3, you may substitute 3 for pq in another related equation. So if pq+rs=5 is true, then 3+rs=5 is true as well.</span>

Just choose 2 numbers from {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,...} and make sure the one you input for x is larger.

Post the three in the comments and I will check them for you.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to choose 2 positive integers for x and y where x>y.

Positive integers are {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,.....}.

I'm going to start with (x,y)=(2,1).

x=2 and y=1.

$(2^2+1^2)^2=(2^2-1^2)^2+(2\cdot2\cdot1)^2$

$(4+1)^2=(4-1)^2+(4)^2$

$(5)^2=(3)^2+(4)^2$

So one Pythagorean Triple is (3,4,5).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(3,1).

x=3 and y=1.

$(3^2+1^2)^2=(3^2-1^2)^2+(2\cdot3\cdot1)^2$

$(9+1)^2=(9-1)^2+(6)^2$

$(10)^2=(8)^2+(6)^2$

So another Pythagorean Triple is (6,8,10).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(3,2).

x=3 and y=2.

$(3^2+2^2)^2=(3^2-2^2)^2+(2\cdot3\cdot2)^2$

$(9+4)^2=(9-4)^2+(12)^2$

$(13)^2=(5)^2+(12)^2$

So another is (5,12,13).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(4,1).

$(4^2+1^2)^2=(4^2-1^2)^2+(2\cdot4\cdot1)^2$

$(16+1)^2=(16-1)^2+(8)^2$

$(17)^2=(15)^2+(8)^2$

Another is (8,15,17).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(4,2).

$(4^2+2^2)^2=(4^2-2^2)^2+(2\cdot4\cdot2)^2$

$(16+4)^2=(16-4)^2+(16)^2$

$(20)^2=(12)^2+(16)^2$

We have another which is (12,16,20).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(4,3).

$(4^2+3^2)^2=(4^2-3^2)^2+(2\cdot4\cdot3)^2$

$(16+9)^2=(16-9)^2+(24)^2$

$(25)^2=(7)^2+(24)^2$

We have another is (7,24,25).

You are just choosing numbers from the positive integer set {1,2,3,4,... } and making sure the number you plug in for x is higher than the number for y.

I will do one more.

Let's choose (x,y)=(5,1).

$(5^2+1^2)^2=(5^2-1^2)^2+(2\cdot5\cdot1)^2$

$(25+1)^2=(25-1)^2+(10)^2$

$(26)^2=(24)^2+(10)^2$

So (10,24,26) is another.

Let (x,y)=(5,2).

$(5^2+2^2)^2=(5^2-2^2)^2+(2\cdot5\cdot2)^2$

$(25+4)^2=(25-4)^2+(20)^2$

$(29)^2=(21)^2+(20)^2$

So another Pythagorean Triple is (20,21,29).

Choose (x,y)=(5,3).

$(5^2+3^2)^2=(5^2-3^2)^2+(2\cdot5\cdot3)^2$

$(25+9)^2=(25-9)^2+(30)^2$

$(34)^2=(16)^2+(30)^2$

Another Pythagorean Triple is (16,30,34).

Let (x,y)=(5,4)

$(5^2+4^2)^2=(5^2-4^2)^2+(2\cdot5\cdot4)^2$

$(25+16)^2=(25-16)^2+(40)^2$

$(41)^2=(9)^2+(40)^2$

Another is (9,40,41).
