Answer:

12 white 28 printed

Step-by-step explanation:

x = white y = printed

x + y = 40————(1)

4.95x + 7.95y = 282————(2)

Solve for x using 1st equation

x = 40 - y Plug in for x using 2nd equation

4.95(40 - y) + 7.95y = 282 Solve for y

198 - 4.95y + 7.95y = 282

3y = 84

y = 28         Plug in for y using 1st equation

x + (28) = 40     Solve for x

x = 12

I hope this helped and please mark me as brainliest!

Answer:

12 white shirts and 28 printed shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 4.95x + 7.95y = 282

x + y = 40

2. Guess and Check

12 + 28 = 40

4.95 (12) + 7.95 (28) = 59.4 + 222.6

59.4 + 222.6 = 280

3. Answer: 12 white shirts and 28 printed shirts

You can do elimination or substitution, but in this case, I feel like it would've been too complicated.

Find the smallest non-zero whole number n such that 756n is a perfect cube.
Kitty [74]

Step-by-step explanation:

756 = 2² * 3³ * 7.

For 756n to be a perfect cube, all of its prime factors must have a power that is a multiple of 3.

How to get from 2² to 2³: Multiply by 2.

3³ has already a power that is a multiple of 3.

How to get from 7 to 7³: Multiply by 7².

Hence n = 2 * 7² = 98.

Solve the system using elimination.
KIM [24]
We can't eliminate as is so we have to change something up there in the equations to get either the x values the same number but opposite signs, or the y values the same number but opposite signs.  I chose to change the y values to the same number but different signs. In the first equation y is -3y and in the second one, y is -8y. The LCM of both of those numbers is 24, so we will multiply the first equation by an 8 (8*3=24) and the second equation by 3 (3*8=24) but since they are both negative right now, one of those multiplications has to involve a negative because - * - = +. Set it up like this:
8(-10x - 3y = -18)
-3(-7x - 8y = 11)
Multiply both of those all the way through to get new equations:
-80x - 24y = -144
 21x  +24y = -33
Now the y's cancel each other out leaving only the x's:
-59x = -177 and x = 3.  Now plug that 3 into either one of the original equations to find the y value.  Either equation will work; you'll get the same answer using either one. Promise. -7(3) - 8y = 11 gives a y value of -4.  so your solution is (3, -4) or B above.

josh bought followers for nancy. he spent a total of $14.85 and bought 13 flowers. if he knows lilies cost $1.25 and tulips cost
Serjik [45]

Answer:

x = lillies

y = tulips

x + y = 13

1.25x + .90y = 14.85

-1.25x - 1.25y = -16.25

1.25x + .90y = 14.85

-0.35y = -1.40

y = 4 tulips

x + 4 = 13

x = 9 lillies

(9 lillies, 4 tulips)

8.EE.5
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

1.) slope=2

2.) slope=-3

3.) slope=\frac{1}{4}

4.) slope=-\frac{4}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit rate is also known as slope. Slope is the change in the y values over the change in the x values:

(x_{1},y_{1})\\\\(x_{2},y_{2})\\\\\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=slope

However, with certain graphs, the slope can be found in a simpler manner.

  • You start at one point and move across the y-axis, then move along the x-axis until you reach another point on the same line.
  • Make sure you move on the y-axis first, then the x-axis. Record the slope as spaces moved in each \frac{y}{x}
  • When you move up, the number will be positive (\frac{+y}{x}). If you move down, the number will be negative (\frac{-y}{x}).
  • If you move to the right, the number will be positive (\frac{y}{+x}). If you move to the left, the number will be negative (\frac{y}{-x}).
