Meredith bought 4 T-shirts and 2 pairs of pants. If x is the cost of one T-shirt and y is the cost of one pair of pants, she’ll

have to multiply the number of T-shirts by x and the number of pants by y to find the total cost of the clothes.
Write an expression for finding the total cost of the clothes?

Apply the properties of operations to find an equivalent expression for finding the total cost of the clothes?

Answer:

The total cost = 4x + 2y

The total cost = 2y + 4x

The total cost = 6x + 4y

The total cost = 4y + 6x

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Meredith bought 4 T-shirts and 2 pairs of pants

∴ The number of T-shirts is 4

∴ The number of pairs of pants is 2

- x is the cost of one T-shirt and y is the cost of one pair of pants

∴ The cost of each T-shirt is x

∴ The cost of each pair pf pants is y

∵ The total cost is the sum of the products of the number of T-shirts

and the cost of each one and the number of pair of pants and the

cost of each one

∴ The total cost = (4 × x) + (2 × y)

∴ The total cost = 4x + 2y

- To find the equivalent expression switch the places of x and y

∴ The total cost = 2y + 4x

- Meredith bought 6 T-shirts and 4 pairs of pants

∴ The number of T-shirts is 6

∴ The number of pairs of pants is 4

∴ The total cost = (6 × x) + (4 × y)

∴ The total cost = 6x + 4y

- To find the equivalent expression switch the places of x and y

∴ The total cost = 4y + 6x

The remaining balance would be $3,600.

$6,300/7 = 900 x 3 = $2,700
$6,300 - $2,700 = $3,600

If f(x)=3x^2+1 and g(x) =1-x, what is the truly value of (f-g)(2)

Lilit [14]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=3x²+1

f(2) = 3 x 2² + 1 = 13

g(x) =1-x

g(2) = 1 - 2 = -1

(f-g)(2) f(2) - g(2) = 13 - (-1) = 14

Find the first five terms of the recursive sequence <br> an=-6an-1 where a1=4.5

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

4.5, -27, 162,-972, 5832

Step-by-step explanation:

The given recursive definition is,

$a_n=-6a_{n-1}, a_1=4.5$

This will form a geometric sequence with first term 4.5 and common ratio r=-6.

When n=2, we have:

$a_2=-6a_1 \\ \implies \: a_2=-6 \times 4.5 = - 27$

When n=3, we get:

$a_3=-6a_2 \\ \implies \: a_3=-6 \times - 27 = 162$

When n=4, we get:

$a_4=-6a_3 \\ \implies \: a_4=-6 \times 162 = - 972$

When n=5, we get:

$a_5=-6a_4 \\ \implies \: a_5=-6 \times - 972 = 5832$

Therefore the first five terms are:

4.5, -27, 162,-972, 5832

Solve |2x - 2| < 8

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

|2x - 2| < 8

it implies that

2x - 2 < 8

2x -2 + 2 < 8 + 2

2x < 10

x < 5

or

-(2x - 2) < 8

-2x + 2 < 8

-2x + 2 - 2 < 8 - 2

- 2x < 6

x > -3 ( the sense of the inequality reverse because I divided by minus)

The solution can be combine to

-3<x<5
