Answer:

The price of the computer is $1,152

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the computer be $x

The first boy boy had 7/8 of this amount, the amount he has is thus 7/8 × $x = 7x/8

The second boy had 5/6 of what the first boy had. The amount of money he has is thus 5/6 × 7x/8 = 35x/48

Now, the addition of what they have is $696 more than what they need to pay. This amount is x+ 696

Mathematically, this can be represented as;

7x/8 + 35x/48 = x + 696

(42x + 35x)/48 = (x + 696)

77x/48 = (x + 696)

77x = 48(x + 696)

77x = 48x + 33408

77x - 48x = 33408

29x = 33, 408

x = 33,408/29

x = $1,152

  our X is 30 because 3x = 90 and if we divide that by 3 then we are left with 30, I knew it was equal to 90 degrees because of the little red box that symbolizes a 90 degree angle.

  So now that we know X = 30 we can plug it in for (2x + 3y)

2(30) + 3y is equal to (60 + 3y) and if we equal that to the other side 3x and plug in for x on that side, we have a new equation of 90 = 60 + 3y so then from here we subtract 60 from both sides and are left with 30 = 3y and finally we divide 3

and our final answer is Y = 10 (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((:

Question 1. It is graph 3 since the y-intercept in the equation is -2 and the y-intercept on the graph 3 is -2. It is also a quadratic function.

Question 2. It is graph two because the equation listed represents a quadratic function that is positive (graph opens up).

Question 3. It is graph 4 since the y-intercept is 2 and the only graph with that intercept is graph 4. Also, the equation represents a linear function.

Hope this helped :))

The cost of a taxi ride is represented by the function c(m)=2m+4, where m is the number of miles traveled. What is the cost per
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

cost per mile = $2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the cost function, c(m) = 2m + 4,

Where the m represents the number of miles traveled, and $2 is the cost per mile of the cab. The $4 represents the flat rate, a set fee, or the initial value.

Therefore, the cost per mile of the cab is $2.
