Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using substitution, and fill in the blanks.Josiah has punch c

ards for his favorite tea house and his favorite coffee shop. He currently has 2 punches on the tea punch card and 11 punches on the coffee punch card. Given his regular routine, he consistently earns 7 new punches per week on the tea punch card and 4 on the coffee punch card. Before too long, Josiah will have the same number of punches on each card. How long will that take? How many punches will Josiah have on each card?

Let x be the number of weeks; therefore, the two linear equations are

\begin{gathered} T=2+7x \\ \text{and} \\ C=11+4x \end{gathered}

Where T stands for the punches on the tea punch card and C for the punches on the coffee punch card.

Solving by substitution. Set T=C, then

\begin{gathered} T=C \\ \Rightarrow2+7x=11+4x \\ \Rightarrow3x=9 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{9}{3}=3 \\ \Rightarrow x=3 \end{gathered}

Thus, substitute the value of x=3 into the first equation,

\begin{gathered} x=3 \\ \Rightarrow T=2+7\cdot3=23 \\ \Rightarrow T=23 \end{gathered}

Thus, after 3 weeks, Josiah will have the same number of punches on each card, and he will have 23 punches on each card.

Write and graph an equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the given point and with the given slope (3,4) m
AnnyKZ [126]
So slope intercept form y=mx+b slope is m

m=6 so
y=6x+b
this is not the legit way but it works so
put in 3 for x and 4 for y and solve for b
4=6(3)+b
4=18+b
-14=b
b=-14

the slope intercep form is y=6x-14

Find the area of the composite figure.
larisa86 [58]
Find the area of all the separate figures and add them together
area of rectangle = length x width
11 x 3 = 33 ft
area of square = a^2
3^2 = 9ft
area of triangle = base x height over 2
11 x 3 = 33
33 over 2 = 16.5 ft
33 + 9 + 16.5 = 58.5 ft ^ 2

Let the function f be continuous and differentiable for all x. Suppose you are given that f(−1)=−3, and that f'(x) for all value
Monica [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By MVT,

f'(c) = \frac{f(5)-f(-1)}{5-1}

4f'(c)= f(5) + 3\rightarrow f(5) = 4f'(c) - 3

Moreover, f'(x)\leq 4~~~~~~ \forall x,

f(5) \leq 16 - 3 =13

Hence the largest possible value of f(5) is 13
