Kayla and totsakan each improved their yards by planting hostas and shrubs. They bought their supplies from the same store. Kayla spent $80 on 8 hostas and 5 shrubs. Totsakan spent $85 on 9 hostas and 5 shrubs, find the cost of one hosta and the cost of obe shrub.

one hosta = $5

One shrub = $8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of one hosta be h

Let the cost of one shrub be s

Kayla spent $80 on 8 hostas and 5 shrubs. This can be written as:

8h + 5s = 80 i

Totsakan spent $85 on 9 hostas and 5 shrubs. This can be written as:

9h + 5s = 85 ii

8h + 5s = 80 i

9h + 5s = 85 ii

Subtract i from ii.

h = 5

The cost of one hosta is $5

Since 8h + 5s = 80

8(5) + 5s = 80

40 + 5s = 80

5s = 80 - 40

5s = 40

s = 40/5 = 8

One shrub cost $8.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

step-by-step explanation:

proofs involving isosceles triangles often require special consideration because an isosceles triangle has several distinct properties that do not apply to normal triangles.(more about triangle types) therefore, when you are trying to prove that two triangles are congruent, and one or both triangles, are isosceles you have a few theorems that you can use to make your life easier.

step-by-step explanation:

an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides and two congruent angles. the congruent angles are called the base angles and the other angle is known as the vertex angle. ∠bac and ∠bca are the base angles of the triangle picture on the left. the vertex angle is ∠abc
