Okay, let's represent the price of a bed sheet with 'b' and a towel with 't':
54b + 50t = 923
38b + 61t = 791.50
Now, if we subtract both sides by 54b (on the first equation), we get this:
50t = 923 - 54b
Divide both sides by 50:
t = 18.46 - 1.08b
Now that we know this, we can move on to the 2nd equation:
38b + 61t = 791.50
Input the variable 't':
38b + 61(18.46 - 1.08b) = 791.5
38b + 1126.06 - 65.88b = 791.5
38b - 65.88b = 791.5 - 1126.06
Simplify:
-27.88b = -334.56
Because both sides are negative, we can turn it into a positive:
27.88b = 334.56
b = 334.56/27.88
b = 12
Now that we know that b = 12, we can easily input it into any equation:
648 + 50t = 923
50t = 275
t = 5.5
One bed sheet costs $12 and one towel costs $5.50
Option C is the answer.
Note that the 2nd equation can be re-written as y=8x-10.
According to the second equation, y=x^2+12x+30.
Equate these two equations to eliminate y:
8x-10 = x^2+12x+30
Group all terms together on the right side. To do this, add -8x+10 to both sides. Then 0 = x^2 +4x +40. You must now solve this quadratic equation for x, if possible. I found that this equation has NO REAL SOLUTIONS, so we must conclude that the given system of equations has NO REAL SOLUTIONS.
If you have a graphing calculator, please graph 8x-10 and x^2+12x+30 on the same screen. You will see two separate graphs that do NOT intersect. This is another way in which to see / conclude that there is NO REAL SOLUTION to this system of equations.
Answer:
300ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: Longest distance she could measure is 70 mm
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the longest distance from one side to other across the center we have to find the diameter of the lampshade.
As it is given that the distance around the lampshade is 219.8 mm which is equal to the circumference of the lampshade.
Circumference of the lampshade is 
πD, where D is the diameter of the lampshade
where the value of π=3.14
Divide both sides by 3.14 we get
on solving we get
Simple division. 269/48=5.60416666667. You probably cannot put decimals, so round to 6.
