--------------------------------------------
Define x:
--------------------------------------------
Let the tie be x
Tie = x
Shirt = x - 4.02

--------------------------------------------
Construct equation :
 --------------------------------------------
The sum of the shirt and tie is $75.62
x + x -4.02 = 75.62
2x - 4.02 = 75.62
2x = 79.64
x = $39.82

--------------------------------------------
Find the cost of tie and shirt :
--------------------------------------------
Tie = x = $39.82
Shirt = x - $4.02 = $39.82 - $4.02 = $35.80

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The price of the short is $35.80
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A car wash charges two prices depending on the size of the vehicle. The table shows the number of cars and the number of SUVs wa
Scrat [10]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

In the system of equations, x represents the,  price to wash a car and y represents the price to wash an SUV.

If the system of equations is graphed in a coordinate plane, the coordinates (x, y) of the intersection of the two lines are the price of the car wash (x) and the price of the SUV wash (y)______.

x=12 and y = 18

x+y = 12+18 = 30

The total cost of 1 car and 1 SUV is $_30____.

5x+4y = 5(12)+4(18) = 60+ 72 =132

The total earnings for hour 3 are $_132_____.

PLZ HELP 235 people are at RSM summer camp. There are 35 more boys than girls, and 70 fewer adults than girls. How many people o
Olin [163]

Answer:

number of girls = 90

Number of boys = 125

Number of adults = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Total people at the summer camp= 235

Let

number of girls=x

Number of boys = x + 35

Number of adults = x - 70

Total people at the summer camp= number of girls + Number of boys + Number of adults

235 = x + (x+35) + (x - 70)

235 = x + x + 35 + x - 70

235 = 3x - 35

Add 35 to both sides

235 + 35 = 3x

270 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3

x= 270/3

= 90

x = 90

number of girls= x = 90

Number of boys = x + 35

= 90 + 35

= 125

Number of adults = x - 70

= 90 - 70

= 20

Total = 90 + 125 + 20

= 235

The two lines, P and Q, are graphed below: Line P is drawn by joining ordered pairs negative 8,15 and 6, negative 12. Line Q is
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Solution:

Keep in mind ,

Equation of line joining two points (a,b) and (p,q) is given by :

     \frac{q-b}{p-a}=\frac{y-b}{x-a}

Equation of line P which is obtained by  joining  (- 8,15) and (6, - 12) is given by:  

\frac{y-15}{x+8}=\frac{-12-15}{6+8}\\\\ 14(y-15)=-27(x+8)\\\\ 14 y -210= -27 x - 216\\\\ 27 x+14 y+6=0

Equation of line Q which is obtained by  joining  (4,16) and (-9, 10) is given by:  

\frac{y-16}{x-4}=\frac{16-10}{4+9}\\\\ 13(y-16)=6(x-4)\\\\ 13 y -208= 6 x - 24\\\\ 6 x-13 y+184=0

Equation of line P and Q are

27 x+14 y+6=0-------(1)× 2

6 x-13 y+184=0-------(2)× 9

54 x + 2 8 y+12=0---(1)

54 x -117 y +1656=0----(2)

(1) - (2)

145 y= 1644

y=11.33,

27 x+14 y+6=0-------(1)×13

6 x-13 y+184=0-------(1)×14

351 x + 182 y + 78=0-----(1)

84 x - 182 y +2576=0----(2)

(1) + (2)

435 x + 2654=0

x = - 6.11

So, solution set is (-6.11, 11.33)

Option (C) is true. (−2, 4), because this point makes both the equations incorrect.
