The original price of a CD is $9.50. However, since they are 80% off, you spend $7.60 on each CD.

Steps to translate the given word problem to a linear equation.

  1. Read carefully the problem
  2. Find out what value is given, what is required, and what is asked to find.
  3. Use variables to represent the unknowns. A variable is usually represented by a letter such as x, p, m, and so on.
  4. Translate the problem into equations.
  5. Solve the equations using elimination, substitution, or graph method.

In the given problem, let p be the original price of each CD.

The CD is on sale for 80%, therefore, $30.40 is the total money spent for 4 discounted CDs.

We can represent this as:

    4 x (80% x p) = 30.40

     4 (0.8p) = 30.40

      3.2 p = 30.40

            p = 9.50

Hence, the original price of a CD is $9.50. However, since they are 80% off, you spend = 0.8 x $9.50 = $7.60 on each CD

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Let the cost of orange be X and cost of cherry be y

3x + 9y = 78

8x + 4y = 58

Solving equation using elimination method

multiplying eq 1 with 8 and eq 2 with 3

8(3x + 9y ) = 78(8)

3( 8x + 4y) = 3(58)

24x + 72 y = 624

24x + 12y = 174

subtracting,

60 y = 450

y = 7.5

3x + 9(7.5) = 78

3x + 67.5 = 78

3x = 78 - 67.5

3x = 10.5

x = 3.5

<h2>Box of orange = $3.5 </h2><h2>Box of cherry = $7.5</h2>

Don’t mind the number 34 but what I need help?
dybincka [34]
U will first need to collect the like terms,
x+16>-5x+4
-5x will go to the other side becoming 5x while 16 while also cross the other side becoming -16
x+5x>4 -16
6x> when 4 is taken out from -16 it becomes - 12
6x>-12 when divided the answer obtained will be -2

The graph of a sinusoidal function intersects its midline at (0,5) and then has a maximum point at (\pi,6)
Natalija [7]
First, let's use the given information to determine the function's amplitude, midline, and period. 

Then, we should determine whether to use a sine or a cosine function, based on the point where x=0.

Finally, we should determine the parameters of the function's formula by considering all the above.
     
                      Determining the amplitude, midline, and period 

The midline intersection is at y=5 so this is the midline. 

The maximum point is 1 unit above the midline, so the amplitude is 1. 

The maximum point is π units to the right of the midline intersection, so the period is 4 * π.
 
                            Determining the type of function to use 

Since the graph intersects its midline at x=0, we should use thesine function and not the cosine function. 

This means there's no horizontal shift, so the function is of the form -

a sin(bx)+d

Since the midline intersection at x=0 is followed by a maximumpoint, we know that a > 0.

The amplitude is 1, so |a| = 1. Since a >0 we can conclude that a=1. 

The midline is y=5, so d=5. 

The period is 4π so b = 2π / 4π = 1/2 simplified.
