Answer:

  book 25; pen 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let b and p represent the cost of a book and a pen, respectively, then the two purchases can be written as ...

  7b +4p = 207

  5b +5p = 165

Multiply the second equation by 4/5 and subtract the result from the first equation:

  (7b +4p) -4/5(5b +5p) = (207) -4/5(165)

  3b = 75 . . . . simplify

  b = 25 . . . . . divide by 3

Dividing the second equation by 5 gives ...

  b + p = 33

Solving for p, we have ...

  p = 33 -b = 33 -25 = 8

The cost of an exercise book is 25; the cost of a pen is 8.

How to find the area of a segment of a circle if r=8 and central angle =120 degrees. Please explain clearly and thoroughly. Will
bekas [8.4K]
First you need to find the area of the circle, which is πr^2
With a radius of 8 inches, the area of the circle will be π*8^2 or 64π.
Next you want to find the area of the 120 degree section of that circle.
120 degrees is 1/3 of a circle, so all you have to do next is multiply the are of the circle by 1/3 (because 360/120= 1/3).
(1/3)(64π) --> All you really have to do here is multiply 64 by 1/3 or divide it by 3 (because to divide by a number is the same a multiplying by it's reciprocal) so you get (64/3)(π).
64/3 is 21 and 1/3 or 21.333..., so however you choose to write it, I will leave the answer as (64/3)π squared inches.
