Answer:

a the assumption is that after the 60% discount, the 20% will contribute to the old price, not the adjusted price

b this is incorrect because the 20% discount will be added on after the 60% discount has been used

c the 500 dollars would turn to 100 dollars

d 40

e it would be best to first apply the 60% coupon first over the 20% coupon

The functions f(x) and g(x) are described below: f(x) = 7x + 9 g(x) = 7x −4 The graph of g(x) is obtained by shifting down the g
Slav-nsk [51]
Correct Answer:
Option A

Solution:

f(x) = 7x + 9
g(x) = 7x - 4

We can re-write g(x) as:

g(x) = 7x + 9 - 13

Since 7x+9 is equal to f(x), we can write:

g(x) = f(x) - 13

This relation shows that g(x) is obtained by shifting f(x) 13 units vertically down. So the correct answer is option A.

Nine more than 3 times a number is the same as 6 less than twice the number
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number  = x

3x + 9 = 2x - 6  Looks like you are going to get something negative here.

Subtract 2x from both sides.

3x - 2x + 9 = 2x - 2x - 6

x + 9 = -6    

Subtract 9 from both sides.

x + 9 - 9 = - 6 - 9

Combine

x = - 15
