Jayce bought 5 bath towels and returned 2 hand towels. His sister Jayna bought 3 bath

towels and returned 4 hand towels. Jayce paid a total of $124 and Jayna paid a total of

5b - 2h = 124

$24. The system of equations

models this situation, where b is the

3b - 4h = 24

price of a bath towel and h is the price of a hand towel. How much does each kind of

towel cost?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Bath towels = $32

Hand towels = $18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

5b - 2h = 124 (1)

3b - 4h = 24 (2)

Multiply (1) by 2 to eliminate h

10b - 4h = 228 (3)

3b - 4h = 24 (2)

Subtract (2) from (3)

10b - 3b = 248 - 24

7b = 224

b = 224 / 7

b = 32

Substitute b = 32 into (2)

3b - 4h = 24

3(32) - 4h = 24

96 - 4h = 24

-4h = 24 - 96

-4h = -72

h = -72 / -4

= 18

h = 18

Bath towels = $32

Hand towels = $18

Q.6. The equation of the ellipse whose centre is at the origin and the x-axis, the major axis, which passes
through the points (-3, 1) and (2,-2) is
(A) 5x2 + 3y =32 (B) 3r? + 5y = 32 (C) 5x° - 3y2 = 32 (D) 3x* + 5y? + 32 = 0​

Answers

Answer:

Equation of the ellipse = 3x² + 5y² = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The centre of the ellipse is at the origin and the X axis is the major axis

It passes through the points (-3, 1) and (2, -2)

To Find:

The equation of the ellipse

Solution:

The equation of an ellipse is given by,

[tex]\sf \dfrac{x^2}{a^2} +\dfrac{y^2}{b^2} =1[/tex]

Given that the ellipse passes through the point (-3, 1)

Hence,

[tex]\sf \dfrac{(-3)^2}{a^2} +\dfrac{1^2}{b^2} =1[/tex]

Cross multiplying we get,

9b² + a² = 1 ²× a²b²a²b² = 9b² + a²

Multiply by 4 on both sides,

4a²b² = 36b² + 4a²------(1)

Also by given the ellipse passes through the point (2, -2)

Substituting this,

[tex]\sf \dfrac{2^2}{a^2} +\dfrac{(-2)^2}{b^2} =1[/tex]

Cross multiply,

4b² + 4a² = 1 × a²b²a²b² = 4b² + 4a²-------(2)

Subtracting equations 2 and 1,

3a²b² = 32b²3a² = 32a² = 32/3----(3)

Substituting in 2,

32/3 × b² = 4b² + 4 × 32/332/3 b² = 4b² + 128/332/3 b² = (12b² + 128)/332b² = 12b² + 12820b² = 128b² = 128/20 = 32/5

Substituting the values in the equation for ellipse,

[tex]\sf \dfrac{x^2}{32/3} +\dfrac{y^2}{32/5} =1[/tex]

[tex]\sf \dfrac{3x^2}{32} +\dfrac{5y^2}{32} =1[/tex]

Multiplying whole equation by 32 we get,

3x² + 5y² = 32

Hence equation of the ellipse is 3x² + 5y² = 32

Sidney skated for 1 1/10 hours last month and 8 7/10 hours this month. How many
hours did Sidney skate in all?

Answers

Answer:

the number of hours does sidney skate in all is 9.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of hours does sidney skate in all is as follows:

= Last month + this month

[tex]= 1 \frac{1}{10} + 8 \frac{7}{10}\\\\= \frac{11}{10} + \frac{87}{10}\\\\= \frac{98}{10}[/tex]

= 9.8 hours

Hence, the number of hours does sidney skate in all is 9.8 hours

Mrs.Giblin begins hiking at mile marker 25 on the Appalachian Trail and hikes 3 miles every hour. What is the slope?

Answers

Answer:

3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is simply the change in position per unit rate. We could conclude that the steepness of the Applachian is the rate of change in position per unit time. Since the distance hiked on the Applachian is said to be 3 miles per hour, then we can conclude that the slope of the applachian is 3 miles

This is the change in miles / change in time.

Chang in miles = 3

Change in time = 1

Slope = 3/1

Slope = 3

D. The equations in A are multiplied by 2 and 4 to get the equations in B.

Answers

Answer:

Correct Answer is B. The first equation in B is the sum of the equations in A, while the other is obtained  by multiplying the first equation in A by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

A : 6x + 8y = -10     .......equation (1)

     2x - 5y = 12      .......equation (2)

B : 8x + 3y = 2         .......equation (1)

  12x + 16y = - 20    .......equation (1)

Correct Answer is B. The first equation in B is the sum of the equations in A, while the other is obtained  by multiplying the first equation in A by 2.

Proof :

The first part says that ,

Sum of equation (1) of A and equation (2) of A = Equation (1) of B

Firstly , find the Sum of equation (1) of A and equation (2) of A

⇒6x + 8y + 2x - 5y = -10 + 12

⇒8x + 3y = 2

this is same as equation (1) of B

So, it satisfies the first part

The second part says that,

The equation (2) of B is obtained by multiplying the first equation in A by 2.

It means , if the equation (1) is multiplied by 2 = equation (2) of B

Firstly , if the equation (1) is multiplied by 2 , we get

2 ( 6x + 8y = -10 )

⇒ 2 ( 6x + 8y ) = 2 ( -10)

⇒ 12x + 16y = -20

this is same as equation (2) of B

So, it satisfies the second part.
