S = large shrimp and p = popcorn shrimp

s + p = 10.....multiply by -1
5s + p = 30
---------------
-s -p = -10 (result of multiplying by -1)
5s + p = 30
---------------add
4s = 20
s = 20/4
s = 5

s + p = 10
5 + p = 10
p = 10 - 5
p = 5

so there was 5 lbs of large shrimp (s) and 5 lbs of popcorn shrimp (p) in the mixture

A new video game is expected to sell 100 copies the first hour at a local game store. After that, the sales will follow the func
Mazyrski [523]
To answer this you need to make simple thought experiment. Since the number of sales after time passes cannot go negative (note that rate at which copies are sold can drop over time but total number cannot) that means that you are adding number of sales at first hour and during first hour.

first option cannot be the answer because you are subtracting 100 copies to total number of sold copies which is not logical.

The answer is D)   s(x) = 100 + 12(x-1)
after 1 hour (if you replace x with 1 in equation above) you will get 100 copies which matches conditions in the text.

This set of points is on the graph of a function.
Liula [17]

If (a, b) is on the graph of a function f(x), then (b, a) is on the graph of the inverse.

We have points on the graph of a function: {(-3, 9), (-1, 1), (0, 0), (2, 4)}.

The points on the graph of the inverse: {(9, -3), (1, -1), (0, 0), (4, 2)}.

<h3>Answer: (4, 2), (0, 0), (1, -1).</h3>

A 20 foot ladder leaning against a wall is used to reach a window that is 17 feet above the ground. How far from the wall is the
GarryVolchara [31]

The bottom of the ladder is 10.5 feet away from the wall

Step-by-step explanation:

The given scenario forms a right triangle.

Where

The length of ladder will be the hypotenuse

The wall on which the window is situated will ebt he perpendicular and

The distance between the foot of ladder and the wall will be the base

So,

Hypotenuse = H = 20 foot

Perpendicular = P = 17 feet

Base = B = ?

Using the Pythagoras theorem

H^2=P^2+B^2\\(20)^2=(17)^2+B^2\\400=289+B^2\\400-289=B^2\\B^2=111\\Taking\ square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{B^2}=\sqrt{111}\\B=10.53\\Rounding\ off\ to\ the\ nearest\ tenth\\B=10.5

The bottom of the ladder is 10.5 feet away from the wall

Draw a line that connects each table to the correct graph
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

For number 1, you draw a line to the middle graph

For number 2, you draw a line to the bottom graph

For number 3, you draw a line to the top graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out where the graph goes, you only need to know if the point is on the graph. For the top graph, you know that the point 2,2 is on the graph so that means one part of the graph has to be 2 and 2. The x has to equal to and the y is equal 2. Therefore, you have to draw it to the bottom graph.
