set up and solve a system of equations to solve the problem The school band sells carnations on Valentine's Day for $3 each. It

buys the carnations from a florist for $0.50 each, plus a $15 delivery charge. When will the cost of the carnations be equal to the revenhue from selling them? How many carnations does it neex to sell to reach this point?

Answer:

Number of carnations = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of carnations school band buys from florist be x.

Cost of each carnation = $0.50

Total cost for x number of carnations = $0.50x

Also , delivery cost = $15

So, total cost on buying x number of carnations from florist = 0.50x + 15

Now,

School band sells carnations at a price of $3 each.

Total revenue they get get after selling x number of carnations = $3x

We need to find that , when will the cost of the carnations be equal to the revenue from selling them.

i.e 3x = 0.50x + 15

or 3x - 0.50x = 15

or 2.50x = 15

or x = \frac{15}{2.50}

or x = 6

so on selling 6 carnations cost of carnation reach to the point where it is equal to revenue

-2x + 3x - 5 = 6 - 21<br><br> FIND x
trasher [3.6K]

Before we do any solving, we need to simplify both sides.

On the left, we can simplify -2x + 3x - 5 to x - 5.

On the right, we can simplify 6 - 21 to -16.

So we have x - 5 = -16.

Solving from here, we add 5 to both sides to get x = -11.

Because

Step-by-step explanation:

Will give 25 points and brainliest answer if correct
Norma-Jean [14]
Let d be the common difference between terms in the sequence \{a_n\}_{n\ge1}. Then

a_{19}=-58
a_{20}=a_{19}+d
a_{21}=a_{19}+2d
\implies-164=-58+2d\implies d=-53

The first term in the sequence, a_1, satisfies

a_2=a_1+d
a_3=a_1+2d
a_4=a_1+3d
...
a_{19}=a_1+18d
\implies-58=a_1+18(-53)\implies a_1=896

So the explicit formula for the n-th term in the sequence is

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\implies a_n=896-53(n-1)

Urgent, please i will give brainliest
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

1. \frac{\sqrt{13} }{3}

2. 3.2362

3. \frac{60}{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

Cot is the trigonometric ratio defined by "adjacent" over "opposite". <em>So, adjacent = 2 and opposite = 3.</em>

By pythagorean theorem, we have the "hypotenuse" as  \sqrt{2^2+3^2}=\sqrt{13}

Csc is defined as the trig ratio "hypotenuse" over "opposite". <em>We know the sides, so Csc \theta = \frac{\sqrt{13} }{3}</em>

<em />

<em>First answer choice is right.</em>

<em />

2.

By definition, Csc \theta is the inverse of Sine \theta. <em>If given the value of sin theta, to find value of csc theta, we take the reciprocal of it. Hence:</em>

Csc\theta=\frac{1}{0.3090}\\=3.2362

Third answer choice is right.

3.

By definition tan and cot are inverse of each other. <em>So the value of tan is the reciprocal of the value of cot.</em> We can simply "flip" the value of tan theta to get the value of cot theta. Hence:

Cot\theta=\frac{60}{11}

Third answer is right.
