Liam's bookstore sold 40 notebooks and 20 newspapers for a total of $130. A day later, the bookstore sold 8 notebooks and 4 newspapers at the same prices, for a total of $28. How much does a notebook and a newspaper cost at Liam's bookstore?

Answers

Answer 1
The total sales will be calculated by adding up the revenue from the selling of the notebooks and that of the newspaper. For representation, we let x be the price of each of the notebook and y be the price of each of the newspaper. The equation that allows us to solve this item are,

                 40x + 20y = 130
 and          8x + 4y = 28 
  
With this, if we divide the left hand side by the left hand side of the equation number 2, we have 5. However, 130 divided 28 is not 5 but 4.64. Hence, the system does not have any solution. 
Answer 2

Let us say that:

X = price of each notebook

Y = price of each newspaper

 

So from the problem statement we can create the following equations:

40 X + 20 Y = 130                               --> eqtn 1

8 X + 4 Y = 28                                      --> eqtn 2

 

Divide both equations by the lowest coefficient to simplify:

Divide eqtn 1 by 20 =>   2 X + Y = 6.5

Divide eqtn 2 by 4=>       2 X + Y = 7

 

So we can see that although both equations has equal left side, the right side do not match. Hence this problem is impossible to solve.

 

-> The given information describes an impossible situation.

Solve for x over the complex numbers.
x^2+10x+41=0
x=____ or x=____

Answers

Solve for x:
x^2 + 10 x + 41 = 0
Subtract 41 from both sides:
x^2 + 10 x = -41
Add 25 to both sides:
x^2 + 10 x + 25 = -16
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x + 5)^2 = -16
Take the square root of both sides:
x + 5 = 4 i or x + 5 = -4 i
Subtract 5 from both sides:
x = -5 + 4 i or x + 5 = -4 i
Subtract 5 from both sides:
Answer:  x = -5 + 4 i or x = -5 - 4 i

Gail lives in Kentucky and pays 6% in sales tax. She just bought $165 in groceries, but $80 worth of those groceries were nontaxable. What is the total amount that Gail paid for the groceries, including sales tax?

A.$165.99
B.$170.10
C.$165.51
D.$174.90

HELPPPPPP ME

Answers

Answer:

Option B. $170.10

Step-by-step explanation:

Gail bought groceries worth = $165.00

She gets rebate of taxes on the amount = $80.00

She has to pay tax on = 165 - 80 = $85.00

In her state sales tax are = 6%

So her tax on groceries  = 6% of 85 = 0.06 × 85 = $5.10

Now she paid total amount = 165 + 5.10 = $170.10

Gail paid $170.10 for the groceries, including sale tax

Option B. $170.10

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to 2x+3y=3 and passes through the point (3, −4) ? Enter your answer in the box.

Answers

3y=-2x+3
y=-2/3x+3/3
y=-2/3x+1
compare y=mx+c
m=-2/3
for parallelism m=M
so M=-2/3

now eqn for (3,-4)
is given by y-(-4)/x-3 = -2/3
y+4/x-3=-2/3
3(y+4)=-2(x-3)
3y+12=-2x+6
3y+2x+12-6=0
3y+2x+6=0
or
3y+2x=-6

Final answer:

The equation of the line that is parallel to 2x+3y=3 and passes through the point (3, −4) is y = −(2/3)x − 2. We found this by first converting the given line into slope-intercept form to find the slope, and then using the point-slope form with the given point.

Explanation:

To find the equation of the line that is parallel to 2x+3y=3 and passes through the point (3, −4), we first need to determine the slope of the given line. The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m represents the slope. We can rewrite the given equation in slope-intercept form by isolating y:

2x + 3y = 3

3y = −2x + 3

y = −(2/3)x + 1

This shows that the slope (m) of the given line is −(2/3). Since parallel lines have the same slope, the slope of the new line will also be −(2/3). Now we use the point-slope form of a line which is y − y1 = m(x − x1), where (x1,y1) is a point on the line. Plugging in the given point (3, −4) and the slope −(2/3), we get:

y − (−4) = −(2/3)(x − 3)

Distributing the slope on the right side and moving −4 to the other side gives us the final equation:

y = −(2/3)x + 2 + −4

y = −(2/3)x − 2

This is the equation of the line that is parallel to 2x+3y=3 and passes through the point (3, −4).

Solve each system by elimination:

holy macaroni, all the values went kaput.... so, what's cooking?

well, it turns out that, the top equation is really the bottom equation in disguise, so both equations are really twins, and therefore they have infinitely many solutions, not just one solution.

graph wise, if you graph one and graph the other, what will occur is that, one will be pancaked on top of the other, and so every single point in the graph is solution.

Answers

Take half of the middle coefficient.
Then square it.

-12/2 = -6

(-6)^2 = 36

c = 36

Answer: The value of c must be 36 to make it perfect square trinomial.

Explanation:

A standard perfect square trinomial is [tex]x^2+2ax+a^2=(x+a)^2[/tex] where [tex]a^2[/tex] is the constant term.

Given trinomial [tex]x^2-12x+c=x^2+2(-6)a+c[/tex]

On comparing with standard perfect square trinomial we get a=-6

Therefore the constant term c=[tex]a^2=(-6)^2=36[/tex]

Such that the trinomial becomes [tex]x^2-12x+36=x^2+2(-6)x+(-6)^2=(x-6)^2[/tex] a perfect square trinomial.

Hence the value of c for the given trinomial must be 36 to make it perfect square trinomial.

Answers

30 hours is how much she would work

Answer:

it takes 30 hours for Jamie to equal Lisa's earnings

Step-by-step explanation:

Lisa earns $8.10 an hour and worked 40 hours.

Total amount Lisa earns = rate times hours

Total amount Lisa earns =[tex]8.10 \cdot 40=324[/tex]

Jamie earns $10.80 an hour

LEt 'n' be the number of hours Jamie works

Total amount Jamie earns =[tex]10.80 \cdot n=10.80n[/tex]

we need to find out 'n' when Jamie earnings is equal to Lisa earnings

[tex]10.80n= 324[/tex]

Divide by 10.80 on both sides

n= 30

So it takes 30 hours for Jamie to equal Lisa's earnings

Scott earns 16.85 per hour at his job. He works 7 hour per day , 4 days per week. What Scott's gross income in 4 weeks

Answers

Scott's gross income in 4 weeks, rounded to the nearest cent, is $1887.20.

Calculate Scott's daily earnings:

  Scott earns $16.85 per hour, and he works for 7 hours per day.

  Daily earnings = $16.85/hour × 7 hours = $117.95

Calculate Scott's weekly earnings:

  Scott works 4 days per week.

  Weekly earnings = Daily earnings × Number of days worked per week

                  = $117.95/day × 4 days/week

                  = $471.80

Calculate Scott's gross income for 4 weeks:

  Scott works for 4 weeks.

  Gross income for 4 weeks = Weekly earnings × Number of weeks

                            = $471.80/week × 4 weeks

                            = $1887.20

However, we need to ensure the precision of the final answer. As currency involves cents, it's important to round appropriately.

Since we're dealing with money, we'll round to the nearest cent.

After rounding, the gross income for 4 weeks is $1887.20.

There are two positive numbers. four times the small number plus 3 times the big number is 41. two times the small number plus the big number is 15. what is 10 times the big number minus 6 times the small number;

Answers

the small number is 2 the large number is 11.
4(2)+11(3)=41
2(2)+11=15
11(10) -2(6) = 98


hope that helps

Final answer:

To find the value of 10 times the big number minus 6 times the small number, we need to solve a system of equations. The solution to the system is x = 2 and y = 11, so the value of 10y - 6x is 98.

Explanation:

To find the value of 10 times the big number minus 6 times the small number, we need to solve the system of equations:

4x + 3y = 41 (equation 1)

2x + y = 15 (equation 2)

We can first solve equation 2 for y by subtracting 2x from both sides: y = 15 - 2x. Now we can substitute this value of y into equation 1:

4x + 3(15 - 2x) = 41

Simplifying, we get: 4x + 45 - 6x = 41

Combining like terms, we have: -2x + 45 = 41

Subtracting 45 from both sides, we get: -2x = -4

Dividing both sides by -2, we get: x = 2

Now we can substitute this value of x back into equation 2 to solve for y:

2(2) + y = 15

Simplifying, we get: 4 + y = 15

Subtracting 4 from both sides, we get: y = 11

Finally, we can calculate 10 times the big number minus 6 times the small number:

10y - 6x = 10(11) - 6(2) = 110 - 12 = 98

The simplest formula for circumference is pi times the diameter. To find the diameter, multiply 20.5 by 2, which is 41. Then, multiply 41 by pi to get the circumference (128.80529...). Round that number and you get the approximate circumference of 129 cm. Hope this helps!

The correct option is [tex]\boxed{\bf option A}[/tex] i.e, [tex]\boxed{\bf 129\text{ cm}}[/tex].

Further explanation:

A circle is the set of all points on a plane whose distance from a fixed point is constant.

There are infinite points on the circle and distance of these points from the center of circle is always constant.

The distance from the center of the circle to any point on the circle is called as radius of the circle.

The circumference is the length of the circle and the formula of the circumference [tex]C[/tex] for the circle is as follows:

[tex]\boxed{C=2\pi r}[/tex]  …… (1)

Here, [tex]r[/tex] is the radius of the circle and the value of [tex]\pi[/tex] is approximately equal to [tex]3.14[/tex].

The formula of the circumference for circle is terms of diameter is as follows:

[tex]\boxed{C=d\pi}[/tex]

Here, [tex]d[/tex] is the diameter of the circle.

The relationship between diameter and the radius is as follows:

[tex]\boxed{d=2r}[/tex].

From attached Figure 1 it is observed that the radius of the circle is [tex]20.5\text{ cm}[/tex].

 

Substitute [tex]r=20.5[/tex] in the equation (1) to obtain the value of circumference [tex]C[/tex] as follows:

[tex]\begin{aligned}C&=2\pi r\\&=2\cdot 3.14 \cdot 20.5\\&=128.74\\ &\approx129\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the circumference of the circle is [tex]\boxed{\bf 129\text{\bf cm}}[/tex].

Thus, the correct option is [tex]\boxed{\bf option A}[/tex].
