Jake bought 2 shirts and 1 pair of pants for $6. Mike bought 1 shirt and 1 pair of pants for $4. How much is each shirt and each

pair of pants? The system of equations used to solve this would be:
2x + y = 6

x + y = 4


a. Shirt=$3 Paint=$1

b. Shirt=$2 Paint=$2

c. Shirt=$1 Paint=$3

The cost of a shirt and a pair of pants is the same and is equal to $2. The correct option is B.

<h3>What is a solution to a system of equations?</h3>

For a solution to be the solution to a system, it must satisfy all the equations of that system, and as all points satisfying an equation are in their graphs, so solution to a system is the intersection of all its equation at a single point(as we need a common point, which is going to be the intersection of course)(this can be one or many, or sometimes none)

Let x represent the cost of a shirt, while y represent the cost of a pair of pants.

Given that Jake bought 2 shirts and 1 pair of pants for $6. Therefore, the equation that represents this situation is,

2x + y = 6 ..... equation 1

Also, Mike bought 1 shirt and 1 pair of pants for $4. Therefore, the equation that represents this situation is,

x + y = 4

Solve the equation for x,

x = 4 - y

Substitute the value of x in equation 1,

2x + y = 6

2(4 - y) + y = 6

8 - 2y + y = 6

-y = 6 - 8

-y = -2

y = 2

Substitute the value of y in equation 1,

2x + y = 6

2x + 2 = 6

2x + 2 = 6

2x = 6 - 2

2x = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2

Hence, the cost of a shirt and a pair of pants is the same and is equal to $2.

The drama club members at Millie's middle school are selling tickets to the school play. Millie wants to determine the average
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Every third member of the club in her physical educations class

Step-by-step explanation:

The reasoning behind this is because if Millie surveys her club members who are hosting the school play, she wouldn't be able to get an accurate average number of tickets sold because the club member have a bias in terms of purchasing the tickets as they run the club. Meanwhile the physical education class has a more random assessment because every third person in the class may or may not have an interest in the play the same way the club would.

The spending limit on John’s credit card is given by the function f(x)=15,000+1.5x , where x is his monthly income. f^-1x . The
Katena32 [7]
<span>1.
"The spending limit on John’s credit card is given by the function f(x)=15,000+1.5x"

means that if the monthly income of John is $ 5,000 ,he can spend at most 

f(5,000)=15,000+1.5*5,000=15,000+ 7,500=22, 500 (dollars)

Or for example

if Johns monthly income is $8,000, then he can spend at most

 </span>f(8,000)=15,000+1.5*8,000=15,000+ 12,000=27,000 (dollars)<span>


2.
Now, assume that the maximum amount that John can spend is y.

Then, y=15,000+1.5x

we can express x, the monthly income, in terms of y by isolating x:

</span>y=15,000+1.5x
<span>
1.5x = y-15,000


</span>x= \frac{y-15,000}{1.5}
<span>
thus, in functional notation, x, the monthly income, is a function , say g, of variable y, the max amount:

</span>x=g(y)=\frac{y-15,000}{1.5}

since we generally use the letter x for the variable of a function, we write g again as:

g(x)=\frac{x-15,000}{1.5}
<span>
for example :

</span>g(50,000)=\frac{50,000-15,000}{1.5}= \frac{35,000}{1.5}= 23,333
<span>
tells us that if the maximum amount that John can spend is 50,000 $, then his monthly income is 23,333 $.

3.

If John's limit is $60,000, his monthly income is 

</span>g(60,000)=\frac{60,000-15,000}{1.5}= \frac{45,000}{1.5}=30,000<span>
 dollars.


Answer: $ 30,000

Remark: g is called the inverse function of f, since it undoes what f does.

instead of g(x), we could use the notation </span>f ^{-1}(x)<span>

Find the sum of the first 12 terms of the sequence 512, 256, 128, … This is infinite series notation, the answer is NOT 896...
postnew [5]

Answer:

1023.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of a geometric sequence is

sum = a( 1 - r^n) / (1-r)

where a is the first term  r is the common ratio and  r^n is the nth term

We need to find the common ratio

r = 256/512 = 1/2

sum = 512 ( 1 - 1/2^12) / ( 1-1/2)

       =512( 1-.000244141) / (.5)

       =512(.999755859) /.5

     =1023.75
