Answer: $6.50

Justification:

Work backward step by step.

1) Total bill: $125 given

2) Value of five scarves: multiply the number of scarves time the unit price

 5 * $12.00 = $ 60.00

3) Value of the socks: subtract the value of the scarves from the total bill

$ 125 - $ 60 = $65

4) divide $65 by the total number of pair of socks

If each bought two pairs, the total number of pairs is 5 * 2 = 10

So, the price of one pair is $65 / 10 = $6.50

Now,  you can verify:

- two pairs of socks each sister * 5 sisters = 10 pairs

- 10 pairs of socks at $6.50 each = 10*$6.50 = $ 65

- Five scarves at $ 12 each = 5 * $12 = $ 60

- Total bill = $ 65 + $ 60 = $ 125 => check.

NemiM [27]
Check the picture below.

is not very specific above, but sounds like it's asking for an equation for the trapezoid only, mind you, there are square tiles too.

but let's do the trapezoid area then, 

\bf a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}} \implies  \sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}} \qquad \qquad
\sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}}\implies a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}\quad 
\begin{cases}
A=At\\
a=x\\
h=x\\
b=2x
\end{cases}\implies At=\cfrac{x(x+2x)}{2}
\\\\\\
At=\cfrac{x(3x)}{2}\implies At=\cfrac{3x^2}{2}\impliedby \textit{now, solving for \underline{x}}
\\\\\\
2At=3x^2\implies \cfrac{2At}{3}=x^2\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{2At}{3}}=x\implies \left( \frac{2At}{3} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}=x

Segment AB falls on line 2x − 4y = 8. Segment CD falls on line 4x + 2y = 8. What is true about segments AB and CD? They are perp
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

They are perpendicular because they have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of −2 and one half.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because x = -2 and half of -2 is 1

when we use CD line and x2 we find 8x+4y=16 when added to 2x -4y=8 would equal 10x+4y = 2 1/2 xy = 16

When we use for AB line we see they are perpendicular 2 1/2 x 2 = 5 -4y = 8 shows y to be -2 and the 1/2 line leaves -2 1/2 and x also is 2 1/2.
