Mr. Logan spent 14 cents at the hardware store buying nails and screws. Nails cost 2 cents, and screws cost 1 cent. If Mr. Logan bought exactly 9 items, how many of each did he buy? Please help me fast !!!

5 nails and 4 screws

Step-by-step explanation:

Make it into an expression where N= amount of nails bought and S= amount of screws bought. Then set it equal to the amount he paid.

ie: 2n+1s=14

Now make another equation for how many he bought.\

ie: n+s=9

Now subtract one of the letter variables from the second equation to get one on alone.

ie: n=9-s

Now, since you have a value for N, substitute it for the value in the original equation so that there's only one variable.

ie: 2(9-s)+1s=14

Now solve for S.

ie: 18-2s+s=14

ie: -s=-4

ie: s=4

Now you have a number value for S that you can plug in the original equation to find the value of N.

ie: 2n+4=14

ie: 2n=10

ie: n=5

Now plug in your values for N and S into the original equation to check it. Your answer is 5 nails and 4 screws.

15

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to solve it and find the product:

-13 × (-5)

solving the given expression in the standard order of solving a mathematical expression, beginning with the opening of brackets and then multiplying the terms and changing their signs.

-3 × -5 = 15 (answer is positive because when negative is multiplied with negative, it gives a positive answer)

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
