Answer:

Let x represents the number of lilies and y represents the number of tulips in the bouquet.

As per the statement:

A bouquet of lilies and tulips has 12 flowers.

⇒x+y = 12                         .....[1]

It is also given that lilies cost $3 each and tulips cost $2 each the bouquet cost $32.

⇒3x+2y = 32             .....[2]

Multiply equation [1] by 3 we get;

3x+ 3y = 36                    .....[3]

Subtract equation [2] from [3] we get;

3x+3y-(3x+2y)=36-32

3x+3y-3x-2y=36-32

Combine like terms;

y=4

Substitute the value of y in [1] we get;

x + 4 = 12

Subtract 4 from both sides we get;

x = 8

Therefore, the number of lilies are 8 and the number of tulips are 4

Which expression is equivalent to (5³) ‐²? (4 points)
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

1. 2³ × 2² = (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2) = 23+2 = 2⁵

2. 3⁴ × 3² = (3 × 3 × 3 × 3) × (3 × 3) = 34+2 = 3⁶

3. (-3)³ × (-3)⁴ = [(-3) × (-3) × (-3)] × [(-3) × (-3) × (-3) × (-3)]

= (-3)3+4

= (-3)⁷

4. m⁵ × m³ = (m × m × m × m × m) × (m × m × m)

= m5+3

= m⁸

Which expression could be used to determine the cost of a $40 video game after a 15 percent discount?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer: The required expression is,

$ 40(0.85)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original cost of the videogame = $ 40,

Discount percentage = 15%,

So, the amount of discount = 15% of 40

= (0.15)40                     ( ∵ 1% = 0.01 )

Hence, the cost of the videogame = original cost - discount

= 40 - (0.15)40

= 40 (1-0.15)

= 40(0.85)

Which is the required expression .
