Answer: f(x) = -3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is represented by

9x + 3y= 12

This is a linear equation with x as the independent variable. This means that if x is the independent variable, the y is the dependent variable. The values of y depends on the values of x. In order to represent the function, 9x + 3y= 12, we would rearrange the function such that y stands alone on the left hand side of the equation. This becomes

9x + 3y= 12

Subtracting 9x from both sides,

9x -9x + 3y = 12 - 9x

3y = 12-9x

Dividing the lefthand side and right hand side of the equation by 3, it becomes

3y/3 = (12-9x)/3

y= -3x + 4

using function notation,

y = f(x) = -3x + 4

The pentagon's area is the sum of the 5 triangles that comprise it.  This is

5( \frac{1}{2}bh) \times 2=5(9)(6.2)= 279

where the factor of 2 accounts for the top and bottom.  The walls have an area of 5 rectangles

5(bh)=5(9)(6)=270 \\  \\ 279+270=549km^2

John has a job selling souvenirs on a football stadium. He earns $10 per game plus $0.25 dollars for each souvenir he sells. How
Ahat [919]

Answer:

He needs to sell 100 souvenirs

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to know the number of souveniers John has to sell

Let the number of souveniers he sold at the game be s

At a rate of $0.25 per souvenier, the amount earned on souveniers for s souveniers will be:

0.25 \times s =0.25s

Now, if we added this to the amount he earns per game, we will have the total $35 earned for working at one game.

Thus, mathematically:

0.25s + 10 = 35 \\ 0.25s = 35 - 10 \\ 0.25s = 25 \\ s =  \frac{25}{0.25}  \\ s = 100
