Six apples and three oranges cost $3.36. Two apples and five oranges cost $3.04. Find the cost of one apple and the cost of an orange.
Answer and step-by-step explanation pls!!
Answers
Answer:
$0.8
Step-by-step explanation:
let x represent the price of apples
let y represent the price of oranges
6x+3y=3.36—eqn 1
2x+5y=3.04—eqn 2
Multiply eqn 2 by 3
3(2x+5y=3.04)=6x+15y=9.12
Subtract eqn 2 from 1
6x+3y=3.36
-{6x+15y=9.12}
-12y=-5.76
y=0.48
plug y=0.48 into eqn 1
6x+3(0.48)=3.36
6x=3.36-1.44
x=1.92/6=0.32
That is, an apple costs $0.32 and an orange costs $0.48
Therefore the cost of an orange and an apple=$0.48+$0.32=$0.8
Answer:
apple: $0.32orange: $0.48Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y represent the costs of 1 apple and 1 orange, respectively. The two cost figures tell us ...
6x +3y = 3.36
2x +5y = 3.04
We note that all of the numbers in the first equation are divisible by 3, so we can divide by 3 to reduce it to ...
2x +y = 1.12
Subtracting this from the second equation gives ...
(2x +5y) -(2x +y) = (3.04) -(1.12)
4y = 1.92 . . . . . . . simplify
y = 0.48 . . . . . . . divide by 4
Then the cost of an apple can be found from our reduced equation:
2x +0.48 = 1.12 . . . substitute for y
2x = 0.64 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.48
x = 0.32 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
The cost of one apple is $0.32; the cost of one orange is $0.48.

Additional comment
The method of solution we used here is called "elimination," because the x-variable was eliminated from the combined equations. There are numerous other methods available for solving a system of linear equations. Most graphing calculators have features for graphing and for reducing matrices that will solve these for you. All you need to do is enter the equations.

Salem is a diver. Today he descended to a depth of 50 feet below sea level. Then he swam up 8 feet and descended another 4 feet. How far below sea level is Salem now?
Answers
Answer:
46 feet below sea level
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we start at -50 feet, which is 50 feet below sea level. If he swims 8 feet up, we should add the 8 feet. -50 + 8 feet which would give us -42. If he descends another 4 feet from the point where he is at right now (-42 feet), it would leave us with the point where he would be which is -46 feet. This is because we are adding the -4 feet, he descends to the -46 feet which he is already at.

I need a variable, equation, and the solution. Pls help!!!
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
that is so simple, it is already difficult to make it formal, because there are only so few things to deal with. you really need help with this ?
you are not familiar with the situation "hey, this costs $10, we are 5 people, if we buy and then use it together, each one has to pay $2" ?
and this is just the other way around : if 5 people paid $2, how much did they pay together ? $10.
let's make it super formal :
price p = Allen contribution a + brother1 contribution b + brother2 contribution c
p = a + b + c
a = b = c = $32.30
p = $32.30 + $32.30 + $32.30 = 3×$32.30 = $96.90

The angles in a triangle are in the ratio 3:2:1.
a) Show that the triangle is a right-angled triangle
b) The hypotenuse of the triangle is 25 cm long.
Calculate the length of the shortest side in the triangle
Answers
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
sum the parts of the ratio, 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 parts
The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180° , then
180° ÷ 6 = 30° ← value of 1 part of the ratio , then
3 parts = 3 × 30° = 90°
2 parts = 2 × 30° = 60°
1 part = 30°
The angles in the triangle are 90°, 60°, 30°
Thus the triangle is right angled
(b)
The shortest side is opposite the smallest angle, that is opposite 30°
Using the sine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value
sin30° = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
sin30° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{opposite}{25}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
2 × opposite = 25 ( divide both sides by 2 )
opposite = 12.5
That is shortest side is 12.5 cm

ZW and ZY are supplementary. If m
Answers
Is there anymore words?
Answer:
I'm not answering but i can help you :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180°.
The two angles of a linear pair, like ∠1 and ∠2 in the figure below, are always supplementary.
But, two angles need not be adjacent to be supplementary. In the next figure, ∠3 and ∠4 are supplementary, because their measures add to 180°.
Example 1:
Two angles are supplementary. If the measure of the angle is twice the measure of the other, find the measure of each angle.
Let the measure of one of the supplementary angles be a .
Measure of the other angle is 2 times a.
So, measure of the other angle is 2a.
If the sum of the measures of two angles is 180°, then the angles are supplementary.
So, a+2a=180°
Simplify.
3a=180°
To isolate a, divide both sides of the equation by 3.
3a3=180°3 a=60°
The measure of the second angle is,
2a=2×60° =120°
So, the measures of the two supplementary angles are 60° and 120°.
Example 2:
Find m∠P and m∠Q if ∠P and ∠Q are supplementary, m∠P=2x+15, and m∠Q=5x−38.
The sum of the measures of two supplementary angles is 180°.
So, m∠P+m∠Q=180°
Substitute 2x+15 for m∠P and 5x−38 for m∠Q.
2x+15+5x−38=180°
Combine the like terms. We get:
7x−23=180°
Add 23 to both sides. We get:
7x=203°
Divide both sides by 7.
7x7=203°7
Simplify.
x=29°
To find m∠P, substitute 29 for x in 2x+15.
2(29)+15=58+15
Simplify.
58+15=73
So, m∠P=73°.
To find m∠Q, substitute 29 for x in 5x−38.
5(29)−38=145−38
Simplify.
145−38=107
So, m∠Q=107°.
