The value of the function w(5) is 53

<h3>How to evaluate the function?</h3>

The function is given as:

w(x) = 9x + 8

The expression w(5) implies that the value of x is 5

i.e. x = 5

Substitute the known values in the above equation

w(5) = 9 * 5 + 8

Evaluate the product

w(5) = 45 + 8

Evaluate the sum

w(5) = 53

Hence, the value of the function w(5) is 53

A student government organization is selling Christmas trees as a fundraiser. On Friday, they sold 5 noble fir trees and 3 dougl

Lana71 [14]

5 noble fir and 3 douglas fir = $ 420

12 noble fir and 9 douglas fir = $ 1080

Let noble fir be n, and douglas fir be d.

5n + 3d = 420 ..............(i)

12n + 9d = 1080 ...............(ii)

Multiply equation (i) by 3.

3*(5n + 3d) = 3*(420)

15n + 9d = 1260 .............(iii)

Equation (ii) minus (iii)

(12n + 9d) - (15n + 9d) = 1080 - 1260

12n - 15n + 9d - 9d = -180

-3n = -180

n = -180/-3 = 60

Substitute the value of n in (i) 5n + 3d = 420

5*(60) + 3d = 420

300 + 3d = 420

3d = 420 - 300 = 120

3d = 120

d = 120/3 = 40

Therefore Noble fir tree cost $60 while Douglas fir tree cost $40

A piece of pipe is 303/4 inches long. If five pieces, each 41/3 inches long, are cut from the pipe, how many inches of pipe rema

galina1969 [7]

So, what is the total lenght of the pieces that wer cut off?

we multiply the lenght by the number:

4 $\frac{1}{3}$ *5=20+ $\frac{5}{3}$ =21 $\frac{2}{3}$

and we subtract this from the original pipe, that is

30 $\frac{3}{4}$ -21 $\frac{2}{3}$

we need to bring the two fractions to the same denominator (by multiplying the fraction art in the first by 3 and 4 the second):

30 $\frac{9}{12}$ -21 $\frac{8}{12}$ =9 $\frac{1}{12}$

so the correct answer is D!
