A grocer has two kinds of tea, one selling for 80 cents per pound and the other selling for 60 cents per pound. How many pounds
ruslelena [56]
X*80+y*60= 50*74
x      +y      =50            | * ( -60)

80x  + 60y= 50*74
-60x  - 60y=-50*60
---------------------------
20x= 50*(74-60)=50*14
x=50*14/20=35 pounds of 80 cents tea
y=50-35=15 pounds of 60 cents tea

Find a right triangle that has legs with your irrational Lengths and a hypotenuse with a rational Length
cluponka [151]

gg easy


the legs of a triangle are related as a^2+b^2=c^2 wehre a, b, and c are the legs and the hypotonuse of a triangle respectively


let's find some stuff

one easy way is to find a rational value for c find values of a and b

lets pick c=5

a^2+b^2=5^2

a^2+b^2=25

now split up 25 into 2 things that don't have rational square roots

if we say a^2=19 and b^2=6 then we get

a=\sqrt{19} and b=\sqrt{6} (which are both irrational)

choose the equivalent system of linear equations that will produce the same solution as the one given below. 4x − 2y = 6 2x y =
Julli [10]
<span>4x − 2y = 6 . . . . . (1)
2x + y = 5 . . . . . (2)

(2) x 2 => 4x + 2y = 10 . . . . . (3)

(1) - (3) gives: -4y = -4
y = -4/-4 = 1

From (2), 2x + 1 = 5 => 2x = 5 -1 = 4
x = 4/2 = 2

Solution is (2, 1)

Substituting the solution into the options gives that
</span><span>−4x − 2y = 10
−4y = 4 −4x
has the same solution.
