He used 53 pounds. I got this by using two equations.
a+b=117
and
5.8a+4.1b= 569.8

I took the first equation and subtracted 'b' so the equation looked like a=117-b.
I then plugged in 117-b into the second equation, so it ended up looking like this:
5.8 (117-b)=569.8
5.8 times 117 is 678.6. And 5.8 times negative b is negative 5.8b.
The equation now looks like this:
678.6-5.8b+4.1b=569.8
Add like terms
678.6-1.7b=569.8
Then subtract 678.6 from both sides
-1.7b= -108.8
divide each side by -1.7
you get b= 64.
But because you are looking for how many pounds for a, subtract 64 from 117. You get 53. 53 is the answer.

Hello!

This question is about which values you are changing when you are transforming an equation.

Let's go through the parent function for an absolute value equation and its various transformations.

$y=a|b(x-c)|+d$

Since we are only looking at horizontal and vertical transformations, we only need to worry about the c and d values.

The c value of a function determines a function's horizontal position, and the d value of a function determines a function's vertical position.

One thing to note here is that the c value is being subtracted from the x value, meaning that if the function is being transformed to the right, you would actually be subtracting that value, while the d value behaves like a normal value, if it is being added, the function is transformed up, and vice versa.

Now that we know this, let's write each expression.

a) $y=|x+2|+1$
