Answer:

B)x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation $\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{5}{4}$

-We first group the like terms on the same side of the equal side;

$\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{3}x=\frac{5}{4}-\frac{1}{4}\\\\\\\\\frac{1}{6}x=1$

#Multiply both sides by 6 to remove denominator;

$6\times \frac{1}{6}x=1\times6\\\\x=6$

Hence, x=6

Which ordered pair is a solution to the system of equations?

iren2701 [21]

(- 2, - 3) is a solution to the given system of equations.

Answer: Option D

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given equation are not presented in proper format. So, let assume the given system of are as below,

2 x - y = -1

2 x -4 y = 8

Now, subtract the second equation from the first, we get

(2 x - y) -(2 x - 4 y) = -1 -8

3 y = -9

y = -3 (obtained this when divide by 3)

Substituting y = - 3 into the first equation, we get

2 x - (-3) = - 1

2 x = - 1 + 3

x = - 2 (obtained when divide by 2)

Now, the answer is (x, y) = (- 2, - 3)

The Boy Scouts self popcorn Ethan sold 9 small

NARA [144]

Answer:

The cost of 1 small bag of popcorn = $2.95

The cost of 1 large bag of popcorn = $4.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, let us assume the cost of 1 small bag of popcorn = $ m

And, the cost of 1 large bag of popcorn = $ n

So, the cost of 9 small bag = 9 x ( cost of 1 small bag) = 9 x (m) = 9 m

and the cost of 2 large bag = 2 x ( cost of 1 large bag) = 2 x (n) = 2 n

Also, cost of 9 small + 2 large bag of popcorn sold by Ethan for $ 36.05 .

⇒ Total cost of 9 small + 2 large bag of popcorn = 9 m + 2 n

⇒ 9 m + 2 n = $ 36.05 .......... (1)

Also, the cost of 5 small bag = 5 x ( cost of 1 small bag) = 5 m

and the cost of 7 large bag = 7 x ( cost of 1 large bag) = 7 n

Also, cost of 5 small + 7 large bag of popcorn sold by Jack for $ 48 .

⇒ Total cost of 5 small + 7 large bag of popcorn = 5 m + 7 n

⇒ 5 m + 7 n = $ 48 .......... (2)

Now, solving (1) and (2) for the values of m and n , we get

9 m + 2 n = 36.05

5 m + 7 n = 48

Multiply (1) with (-7) and (2) by 2 , add both equation we get:

-63 m - 14 n + 10 m + 14 n = -252.35 + 96

or, - 53 m = -156.35

or, m = 2.95

Now, put the value of m in (1), we get: 5 ( 2.95) + 7 n = 48

or, n = 33.25 /7 = 4.75

Hence the cost of 1 small bag of popcorn = $2.95

The cost of 1 large bag = $4.75

An office supply store sells 12 rolls of tape for $29.88. At that rate, which proportion could be used to solve for c, the cost

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

$89.64

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you want to find your unit rate.

To do that, simply just divide what you know (cost/amount):

29.88/12

= 2.49

This means that one role of tape costs $2.49.

Now that we know that, you can simply just solve for value "c":

c = 2.49(36)

c = 89.64

The topic is piecewise functions, can someone help? i’m a little confused :)

AleksAgata [21]

Given:

The piecewise function is:

$f(x)=\begin{cases}x+5&x$

To find:

The values of $f(-4),f(-2),f(0),f(3)$ .

Solution:

For $x$ , the function is

$f(x)=x+5$

For $x\geq -2$ , the function is

$f(x)=x^2+2x+3$

a) The value of $f(-4)$ is:

$f(-4)=-4+5$

$f(-4)=1$

b) The value of $f(-2)$ is:

$f(-2)=(-2)^2+2(-2)+3$

$f(-2)=4-4+3$

$f(-2)=3$

c) The value of $f(0)$ is:

$f(0)=(0)^2+2(0)+3$

$f(0)=0-0+3$

$f(0)=3$

d) The value of $f(3)$ is:

$f(3)=(3)^2+2(3)+3$

$f(3)=9+6+3$

$f(3)=18$

Therefore, the required values are $f(-4)=1,f(-2)=3,f(0)=3,f(3)=18$ .
