Answer:

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 4.25

16.90x + 4y = 36.35

1. The solution to the equation represent number of yards of silk and number of yards of cotton bought.

2.

x + y = 4.25 (1)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Multiply (1) by 4

4x + 4y = 17 (3)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Subtract (3) from (2)

16.90x - 4x = 36.35 - 17

12.90x = 19.35

Divide both sides by 12.90

x = 19.35 / 12.90

= 1.5

x = 1.5 yards

Substitute x = 1.5 yards into (1)

x + y = 4.25

1.5 + y = 4.25

y = 4.25 - 1.5

= 2.75

y = 2.75 yards

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

scholastic books sells 4 times as many textbooks as keller publishing; together they sold 7,775 textbooks. how many did scholast
sashaice [31]
Let us assume the number of text books sold by <span>keller publishing = x
Then
Then </span>number of text books sold by <span>Scholastic books = 4x
The total number of text books sold = 7775
Then
x + 4x = 7775
5x = 7775
x = 1555
Then
The nu</span>mber of text books sold by Scholastic books = 4x
                                                                                  = 4 * 1555
                                                                                  = 6220

I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

A portion of a hiking trail slopes upward at about a 6 angle. To the nearest tenth of a foot, what is the value of x, the distan
Firdavs [7]
The distance covered by the hiker if he traveled a horizontal distance of 120 ft at and angle of 6° will be given by:
cos θ=adjacent/hypotenuse
let the hypotenuse be h, adjacent =120 ft, θ=6°, thus plugging in the values we shall have:
cos 6=120/h
h=120/cos 6
h=120.661 ft
Answer: 120.661 ft

Figure ABCD is transformed to obtain figure A'B'C'D': A coordinate grid is shown from negative 6 to 6 on both axes at increments
nika2105 [10]

Given:

Vertices of ABCD are A(-4,4), (-2,2), C(-2,-1) and D(-4,1).

Vertices of A'B'C'D' are A'(3,-4), B'(5,-2), C'(5,1) and D'(3,-1).

To find:

The sequence of transformations that changes figure ABCD to figure A'B'C'D'.

Solution:

Part A:

The figure ABCD reflected across the x-axis, then

(x,y)\to (x,-y)

Using this rule, we get

A(-4,4)\to A_1(-4,-4)

Similarly, the other points are B_1(-2,-2),C_1(-2,1),D_1(-4,-1).

Then figure translated 7 units right to get A'B'C'D'.

(x,y)\to (x+7,y)

A_1(-4,-4)\to A'(-4+7,-4)=A'(3,-4)

Similarly, the other points are B'(5,-2), C'(5,1),D'(3,-1).

Therefore, the figure ABCD reflected across the x-axis and then translated 7 units right to get A'B'C'D'.

Part B:

Reflection and translation are rigid transformation, it means shape and size of figures remains same after reflection and translation.

Therefore, the two figures congruent.
