Greg went to Bed Bath and Beyond to buy Christmas gifts for his family this year. In his first trip he bought 4 candles, 5 wallflowers, and 6 lotions for a total of $123. Greg forgot some people on his list the first time so he makes a second trip and spent $48 to buy 2 candles, 3 wallflowers, and 1 lotion. The price of a lotion is 2 less than 2 times the price of a wallflower. How much does each item cost?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Price of Candle: 12.5

Price Wallflower: 5

Price of Lotion: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost of a candle = [tex]x[/tex]

Let cost of a wallflower = [tex]y[/tex]

Let cost of a lotion = [tex]z[/tex]

Cost of 4 candles = 4[tex]x[/tex]

Cost of 5 wallflowers = 5[tex]y[/tex]

Cost of 6 lotions = 6[tex]z[/tex]

Cost of 2 candles = 2[tex]x[/tex]

Cost of 3 wallflowers = 3[tex]y[/tex]

Cost of 1 lotion = [tex]z[/tex]

As per question statement:

[tex]4x+5y+6z=123 .... (1)\\2x+3y+z=48 ...... (2)\\z=2y-2 ..... (3)[/tex]

Using equation (3) in (1) and (2), the equations get reduced to :

[tex]\Rightarrow 4x+17y = 135 ..... (4)\\\Rightarrow 2x+5y = 50 ..... (5)[/tex]

Multiplying (5) with 2 and subtracting from equation (1):

[tex]7y = 35\\\Rightarrow y = 5[/tex]

By equation (3):

[tex]\Rightarrow z =8[/tex]

By equation (4):

[tex]\Rightarrow x = 12.5[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is:

Price of Candle: 12.5

Price Wallflower: 5

Price of Lotion: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, -2)and (−4,−22)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

[tex]m = \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1} \\[/tex]

From the question we have

[tex]m = \frac{ - 22 - - 2}{ - 4 - - 4} = \frac{ - 22 + 2}{ - 4 + 4} = - \frac{20}{0} \\ [/tex]

Any number divided by zero is undefined so the slope of the line is undefined.

Hope this helps you

Answer:

Undefined ([tex]\infty [/tex])

Step-by-step Explanation:

We need to find the slope of the line joining the points (-4, -2) and (-4, -22).

We know that, Slope is the difference of abcsissa (x - coordinate) / difference of ordinates (y-coordinate)

[tex]m = \dfrac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} [/tex]

Here:

x1 = -4x2 = -4y1 = -2y2 = -22

Plugging these values:

[tex]m = \dfrac{ - 22 - ( - 2)}{ - 4 - ( - 4)} [/tex]

This can be written as:

[tex]m = \dfrac{ - 22 + 2}{ - 4 + 4} [/tex]

[tex]m = \dfrac{ - 20}{0} = \infty [/tex]

Here, The slope of the line is infinite or undefined. An undefined slope (or an infinitely large slope) is the slope of a vertical line!

Will is buying a house for $185,000. He is financing $165,000 and obtained a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage with a 6.725% interest rate. How much are his monthly payments? (2 points)

Answers

Answer:  $1067.45

=================================================

Work Shown:

L = 165000 = loan amount or amount financed

r = 0.06725  = annual interest rate in decimal form

i = r/12 = 0.06725/12 = 0.005604167

i = 0.005604167 = approximate monthly interest rate in decimal form

n = number of months = 30*12 = 360 months

P = unknown monthly payment

--------------

Apply the monthly payment formula

P = (L*i)/( 1-(1+i)^(-n) )

P = (165000*0.005604167)/(1-(1+0.005604167)^(-360))

P = 1067.44636311118

P = 1067.45

My buddy what's popping??

Step-by-step explanation:

Those coming from the Pest end had to walk round the Castle Hill on the Buda side to be able to proceed northwards. On 10 February 1853, four years after the completion of the Chain Bridge, the building of a tunnel leading through the hill was started to the plans of Adam Clark. On 6 March 1856, the tunnel was opened for foot traffic, and on 30 April 1857 also for motor traffic. Being 350 meters in length, it leads through under the Buda Castle to the other side of the hill. Its length is approximately identical to that of the Chain Bridge, prompting anecdotes according to which the tunnel has only been built so that in rainy weather, the Chain Bridge can be shoved in and be protected from wet conditions. The entry of the tunnel at its Chain Bridge end was also fittingly designed in classicist style.
