Answer:

4, 22  See below

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y = 30

5x + y = 42

Subtract the first from the second

3x = 12

x = 4 so socks cost $4

Put that into one of the original equations

2x + y = 30

2(4) + y = 30

8 + y = 30

y = 22 slippers cost $22

Answer:

y=22

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the second statement as equation 1 and the first statement as equation 2 and subtract to eliminate y:

5x + y = 42

-(2x + y = 30)

--------------------

3x   + 0 = 12      --> x = 4

substituting x = 4 into 2x + y = 30  --> 8 + y = 30   --> y = 22

(x,y) = (4,22)

checking by adding the two equations substituting in (4,22)

20 + 22 = 42

8 + 22  = 30

---------------------

28 + 44 = 72

   72 = 72       √

Orlov [11]

Supplementary adjacent angles form a "linear pair." Together, they make a line. The angle supplementary to 85° will be slightly obtuse, just as 85° is slightly acute.

Help please and make sure the answer is right! Please :(
likoan [24]

You see how these 2 angles marked are both inside the 2 parallel lines?

And they are on opposite side of the transversal, the line crossing the 2 parallel lines?

These 2 angles are alternate interior angles and they are equal, I think you can do the last part by yourself.

Count the left handed and right handed spirals on the cacti in the photograph you should get two consecutive terms of the Fibona
lana [24]
You can count the spirals because they are coloured.

The left handed spirals are in red and you can count 13.

The rifht hanged spirals are in yellow and you can count 21.

Fibonacci sequence is: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, ... From 2 the next number is the sum of the two previous numbers:

2 = 1 + 1

3 = 2 + 1

5 = 3 + 2

8 = 5 + 3

13 = 8 + 5

21 = 13 + 8.

Fibonacci numbers are found in many structures in nature.

We have just found that these cacti enclose Fibonacci numbers 13 and 21.

Answer: 13 and 21
