3x-\ pineapple\\
2x-\ mango\\\\
after\ selling\ 144\ pineapple:\\
3y-\ pineapple\\
5y-\ mango\\\\
3x-144=3y\ \ | add\ 144\\
2x=5y\\\\
3x=3y+144\ \ \ | divide\ by\ 3\\
2x=5y\\\\
x=y+48\\2x=5y\\\\
2(y+48)=5y\\
2y+96=5y\ \ \ | subtract\ 2y\\
96=3y\ \ \ | divide\ by\ 3\\
32=y\\
x=32+48=80\\\\
There\ were\ 240\ pineapple\ muffins.

Tina is saving to buy a notebook computer. She has two options. The first option is to put $500 away initially and save $30 ever
Jlenok [28]
First option:
y=money saved
x=number of months

y=30x+500

Second option:

y=50x+200

We have this system of equations:

y=30x+500
y=50x+200

We can solve this system of equations by equalization method
30x+500=50x+200
30x-50x=200-500
-20x=-300
x=-300/-20
x=15

so;
y=30x+500
y=30(15)+500
y=450+500
y=950

Answer; after 15 months, she would save the same amount using either option, the amount saved in either option will be $950.

In 2008, golfer Annika Sornestam had a driving accuracy of 71%. That is, on par 4 and par 5 holes, her tee shot landed in the fa
Nady [450]

Answer:

Ok, we know that the driving accuracy is of 71%.

Then the first step is to get a spinner that is enumerated from 1 to 100 (in such way that each number is equispaced)

Now, we can mark a section between numbers 1 and 71. (this regio represents the cases where the shot lands in the fairway) and the unmarked region represents the cases where the shot does not land in the fairway.

Now, for each shot, we can spin our spinner next to a fixed pencil, depending on the section of the spinner that is marked by the pencil when the spinner fully stops, we can guess if the shot landed or not in the fairway.

In this way the shot has the region from 1 to 71 (71%) to land in the fairway

and the region from 72 to 100 to not land in the fairway.

If you want to simulate Sorenstam’s performance in a round of golf where she attempts 15 drives, you need to spin the spinner 15 times, and record the oucomes.

What is the value of f(-2) for the given function
scZoUnD [109]

Copy down the given function:

f(x)=3•2^x

Now replace both instances of x with -2:

f(-2) = 3*2^(-2).                                1

Recall that 2^(-2) is the same as ------ = 1/4

                                                      2^2

Therefore, f(-2) = 3*2^(-2) = 3*(1/4) = 3/4

Remember that exponentiation has to be carried out before multiplication.  That's why I did 2^(-2) before multiplying by 3.
