Luca sells muffins and juice boxes at the

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

1.5m+1.25j

Step-by-step explanation:

m equals the number of muffins sold, and because each muffin sells for $1.50, 1.5m represents the income made from the muffins.

Same thing with the juice boxes, j equals the number of juice boxes sold, and because each juice box sells for $1.25, 1.25j represents the income made from the juice boxes.

Add the income from both of them to get the total income, and you get 1.5m+1.25j.

Fabulous fitness charges a one time fee of $90 and an additional $25 per month wonder weights charges a one time fee of only $ 2

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

9 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Fabulous fitness charges a one-time fee of $90 and an additional $25 per month

let the number of months be x

and the total charges be y

y= 25x+90---------1

Wonder weights charges a one-time fee of only $ 27 dollars but charge an additional $32 each month

let the number of months be x

and the total charges be y

y= 32x+27------------2

Required

The value of x, that is the number of months

Step two:

Equating both equations we have

25x+90=32x+27

collect like terms

25x-32x=27-90

-7x=-63

7x=63

divide both sides by 7

x= 63/7

x= 9 months

4. If DF = 9x - 39, find EF.<br><br> Help I’m so confused!!!!

topjm [15]

Answer:

EF =58

Step-by-step explanation:

from the illustration,

EF =DF - DE

<em>give</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>DF</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em>9</em><em>x</em><em>-</em><em>3</em><em>9</em><em> </em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>DE</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em>4</em><em>7</em><em> </em><em>EF</em><em>=</em><em>3</em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>0</em>

<em>sub</em><em>stitute</em><em> </em><em>them</em><em> </em><em>into</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>formu</em><em>la</em><em>,</em>

<em> </em><em> </em>

<em>3</em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em>=</em><em>9</em><em>x</em><em>-</em><em>3</em><em>9</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em>7</em>

<em>sol</em><em>ving</em><em> </em><em>for</em><em> </em><em>x</em>

<em>3</em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em>9</em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>8</em><em>6</em>

<em>grou</em><em>ping</em><em> like</em><em> </em><em>ter</em><em>ms</em>

<em>3</em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>9x</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em>-</em><em>8</em><em>6</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>1</em><em>0</em>

<em>-6x</em><em>=</em><em>-</em><em>9</em><em>6</em>

<em>div</em><em>iding</em><em> </em><em>throu</em><em>gh</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>6</em>

<em> $\frac{ - 6x}{ - 6} = \frac{ - 96}{ - 6}$ </em>

<em> $x = \frac{96}{6}$ </em>

<em> $x = 16$ </em>

<em>but</em><em> </em><em>EF</em><em>=</em><em>3</em><em>x</em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>0</em>

substitute x=16 into it to get the EF

EF= 3(16)+10

EF=48+10

EF=58
