Answer:
Plates are 2.80 Dollars and cups are 1.40 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Cups = c
Plates = p
6p + 5c = 23.80 ==> multiply by 6 ==> 36p + 30c = 142.80
7p + 6c = 28.00 ==> multiply by 5 ==> 35p + 30c = 140.00
Now use algebra to have the 30c be on one side and the rest on the other:
36p + 30c = 142.80 | -36p
30c = 142.80 - 36p
35p + 30c = 140.00 | -35p
30c = 140.00 - 35p
Now set them equal to each other about the 30c:
142.80 - 36p = 140.00 - 35p
Use algebra to solve for p:
142.80 - 36p = 140.00 - 35p | +36p
142.80 = 140.00 + p | - 140
2.80 = p
Go back to one of the "30c" equations and plug in the value for p:
30c = 140 - 35p
30c = 140 - 35(2.80)
30c = 140 - 98
30c = 42 | /30
c = 42/30
c = 1.4
Based on the definition of complementary angles, the two angles are: 49.4° and 40.6°.
<h3>What are Complementary Angles?</h3>
Angles that are complementary angles have a sum of 90 degrees.
Let the angle be represented as x
Complement of the angle = (90 - x)
Therefore, we would have:
x = (90 - x) + 8.8
x = 90 - x + 8.8
x = 98.8 - x
x + x = 98.8
2x = 98.8
x = 98.8/2
x = 49.4°
The second angle would be: 90 - 49.4 = 40.6°
The angles are 49.4° and 40.6°.
