At a fabric store, fabrics are sold by the yard. A dressmaker spent $36.35 on 4.25 yards of silk and cotton fabrics for a dress.

Silk is $16.90 per yard and cotton is $4 per yard.
Let 'x' represent the number of yards of silk and 'y' represent the number of yards of cotton.
Here is a system of equations that represent the constraints in the situation.
x+y=4.25
16.90x+4y=36.35
Find the solution to the system of equations. You may use any method you want, but you must explain your reasoning and methods fully.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The yards of silk bought is  1.49 yards and the yard of cotton bought is 2.76 yards.

The two equations are known as simultaneous equation. They would be solved using elimination method.

x + y  = 4.25 equation 1

16.90x + 4y = 36.25 equation 2

where:

x = yards of silk bought

y = yards of cotton bought

In order to determine the value of x, multiply equation 1 by 4.

4x + 4y = 17 equation 3

Subtract equation 3 from 2

19.25 = 12.90x

Divide both sides of the equation by 12.90

x = 1.49 yards

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The yards of silk bought is  1.49 yards and the yard of cotton bought is 2.76 yards.

The two equations are known as simultaneous equation. They would be solved using elimination method.

x + y  = 4.25 equation 1

16.90x + 4y = 36.25 equation 2

where:

x = yards of silk bought

y = yards of cotton bought

In order to determine the value of x, multiply equation 1 by 4.

4x + 4y = 17 equation 3

Subtract equation 3 from 2

19.25 = 12.90x

Divide both sides of the equation by 12.90

x = 1.49 yards

In order to determine the value of y, substitute for x in equation 1

1.49 + y = 4.25

y = 4.25 - 1.49

y = 2.76 yards

The solution to the given algebraic equation 1000(7x - 10) = 50(292 + 100x) is; x = 12.3

<h3>How to simplify algebraic equations?</h3>

We want to simplify the algebraic equation;

1000(7x - 10) = 50(292 + 100x)

The first step is to use distributive property of equality to expand the bracket to get;

7000x - 10000 = 14600 + 5000x

7000x - 5000x = 14600 + 10000

2000x = 24600

Use division property of equality to divide both sides by 2000 to get;

x = 24600/2000

x = 12.3

Thus, we can conclude that the solution to the given algebraic equation 1000(7x - 10) = 50(292 + 100x) is; x = 12.3

you purchase 723 shares of Nike at $47.75 per share and one year later you are ready to sell your 723 shares for the current mar
Anettt [7]
The answer to this question is "you gained profit". The amount of money you gain from selling the stocks now is higher compared to the amount you spent a year ago. The amount you gain from the shares is ($62.25) x 723 = $45006.75. The amount you spent last year is ($47.75) x 723 = $34523.25. The difference between the values is $10483.47. Thus, you gained $10483.47.

Please help me with this question!! I also need the steps

Hi there!

\large\boxed{x = \frac{\pi}{3} \text{ and } \pi}

We are given:

cos(7x)cos(4x) = -1 - sin(7x)sin(4x)

Begin by moving all terms with variables to one side:

cos(7x)cos(4x) + sin(7x)sin(4x) = -1

The corresponding trig identity is cos(A - B). Thus:

cos(7x - 4x) = cos(7x)cos(4x) + sin(7x)sin(4x) = -1

cos(3x) = -1

cos = -1 at  π, so:

3x = π

x = π/3

We can also find another solution. Let 3π = -1:

3x = 3π

x = π

Thus, solutions on [0, 2π) are π/3 and π.

In Covina, California, the population is 47,000. The population increases 18% every year. Determine how long it will take to rea
Alexxandr [17]

Answer: 8.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply an exponential growth function:

A = P (1 + r) t  

Where:

p = original population

r = growing rate (decimal form)  =18/100 = 0.18

t= years

A = population after t years

Replacing with the values given:

192,000 = 47,000 (1+ 0.18)^t

Solving for t:

192,000/47,000 = 1.18^t

4.08 =1.18^t

ln 4.08 = ln 1.18^t

ln 4.08 =t (ln 1.18)

ln 4.08 / ln 1.18  =t

8.5 years = t

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
