Let's make s the price for a shirt.

And t the price of a tie:

6s + 3t = 79.50

3s + 2t = 41.

We can modify the equation by multiplying the second one by -2.

-6s - 4t = -82.

Solving for t: t = 2.5.

Solving for s:

Knowing t, we can solve the equation:

3s + 2(2.50) = 41. (I'm using this one because it's easier)

3s + 5 = 41

3s = 36

s = 12

t = 2.5

I didn't really know the answer, until I looked at CPhill's, and now I understand the solution and how to do it now. Thanks CPhill!!

I think this is in LaTeX. I can understand the first two lines. But on the second and 4th paragraph it's all giberrish.

What about the third piece? And why is the second one also 4/5?

Let's make "x" the width.

Length = x-12.

Area of rectangle: Width * Length.

This means: x(x-12) = 85.

Simplifying that is: x^2 - 12x = 85.

Rearranging it: x^2 - 12x - 85 = 0.

Factor it: (x+5)(x+17)-85 = 0

We can set both factors to 0 and solve for x:

x = -5 which doesn't work

x = 17 which works.

And for the Length: x - 12 = 17 -12 = 5.

I used the same method as CPhill though...

Do you mean like being more confident?

I dunno, it's kind of a habit of not being confident enough. 

If you mean actually giving points to myself, i don't know how to do that.

You don't have to repost a question...

Well since the ratio for both of them is the same... G plays a string that is 40 centimeters long.

Doesn't that mean F also plays a string 40 centimeters long?

Why don't you give yourself some points?

Thank you!

Let's make pounds of cashews = "x".

We know that peanuts sell for 3.00 each.

Soo, the equation is 6(x) + 3(12) = 4.20(x+12).

6x + 36 = 4.20x + 50.4. Subtracting 36, and 4.20x from both sides:

1.8x = 14.4. Dividing both sides by 1.8x:

x = 8lbs.

Which is what CPhill got!

Good work AnimalMaster, that is absolutely correct  

So we know that there are 175 baskets of fruit in a supermarket, and since 13 of them are bananas, 162 aren't bananas.

Which means 162/175 aren't. 162/175 = 0.9257. After multiplying, it results in 92.57%

I'm not sure this is correct, please check for me.

P( the first card is gray) = 2 / (5+2+6) = 2/13.

P (the second card is pink)  = 5/ (5+2+5) = 5/12

P (the first card is gray and second is pink) = (5/12)(2/13) = 10/156.

Simplified = 5/78.

Please check for me.

There are 175 baskets of fruits. If thirteen of them are bananas, then 162 of them are not. So, 162/175 is .9257. Multiply this and you get 92.57%

Let the pounds of cashews  = C

So we have that

Price of cashews per pound * number  of pounds +  Price of peanuts per pound * Number of pounds = Final cost * Number of pounds

6 ( C )  + 3 ( 12)  =   4.20 ( C + 12)   simplify

6C + 36 = 4.20C + 50.4     subtract  36, 4.20 C from both sides

1.8 C =  14.4     divide  both sides by  1.8

C = 8  (lbs of cashews )

Let the width   = W

Let the length, L = W - 12

Area =  W * L

So.....

85 = W ( W - 12)    simplify

85  = W^2 - 12W      rearrange as

W^2 -12W  - 85    =  0       factor

(W+ 5) (W -17)  =   0

Setting both factors to 0  and solving for  W produces

W  = - 5    (reject)

W =  17  (accept)

And L  =  W - 12   = 17 - 12  =   5

The line of sight distance [call it D ] is the  hypotenuse of a right  triangle

We  know the angle   and the  altitude of the  blimp is the opposite side to this angle

Thus...we can use the sine here because it relates the opposite side and the hypotenuse

sin 7°  =   300 / D      rearrange as

D = 300 / sin 7°  ≈  2461.65  m

Let x be the cost of a shirt  and y be the  cost of a tie.....so....we have this system of equations :

6x + 3y =  79.50

3x  + 2y = 41

Multiply the second equation through by -2  and we have

6x + 3y =  79.50

-6x - 4y  = -82        add these 

-y=   -2.5

y= 2.5   = $2.50 = the cost of a tie

And using   3x + 2y  =41  we can find the cost of a shirt

3x + 2(2.50) = 41

3x  + 5 =  41         subtract  5 from both sides

3x = 36   divide both sides  by 3

x = $12  = the cost of a shirt

Wow!!!!....that's impressive !!!!!!

I'm going to have to study this one   !!!!

1) By similar triangles, YZ = 1/2*14^2/8 = 49/4.

2) Angle PQR = 90 - (41 + 63)/2 = 38 degrees.

AnimalMaster-It really is.I need 950 v bucks for battle pass.Now I have 0.How do I get 950 V bucks by thursday or friday of next week

Let the rate of the 3rd cook =R

1/7 + 1/4 + 1/R = 1/2, solve for R

R =9 1/3 hours - working alone.
