Shannon is selling boxes cookies and candy for a fundraiser. She's sold each box of cookies for $5.25. She also sold one one box

of candies for $8.75.

Answer:

The minimum boxes of cookies is 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of boxes of cookies sold

y ----> the number of boxes of candies sold

we know that

The word "at least" means "greater than or equal to"

so

The inequality that represent this problem is

5.25x+8.75y\geq 200

The solution is the shaded area above the solid line   5.25x+8.75y=200

using a graphing tool

The solution is the shaded area -----> see the attached figure

Find out the minimum boxes of cookies needed to sell to reach the goal

assuming only cookies are sold

For y=0

5.25x+8.75(0)\geq 200

5.25x\geq 200

solve for x

x\geq 38.1

Round up

therefore

The minimum boxes of cookies is 39

Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form. 14x + 15y = 11 Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and i
Goshia [24]
Answer:
y = (-14/15) x + (11/15)

Explanation:
The slope-intercept form has the following formula:
y = mx + c
where:
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept

The given is:
14x + 15y = 11

To put this in slope-intercept form, we will need to isolate the y as follows:
14x + 15y = 11
15y = -14x + 11
y = (-14/15) x + (11/15)
were:
m is the slope = -14/15
c is the y-intercept = 11/15

Hope this helps :)

Please help, it's urgent!
Aneli [31]

For this case we have to, by defining properties of powers and roots the following is fulfilled:

\sqrt [n] {a ^ m} = a ^ {\frac {m} {n}}

We must rewrite the following expression:

\sqrt [3] {8 ^ {\frac {1} {4} x}}

Applying the property listed we have:

\sqrt [3] {8 ^ {\frac {1} {4} x}} = 8 ^ {\frac{\frac {1} {4} x} {3} }= 8 ^ {\frac {1} {4 * 3} x} = 8 ^ {\frac {1} {12} x}

Using the property again we have to:

8 ^ {\frac {1} {12} x} = \sqrt [12] {8 ^ x}

Thus, the correct option is option C

Answer:

Option C
