Answer:

3 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given Zayed is helping his classmates get ready for their math test by making them identical packages of pencils and calculators.

Number of pencils=72

Number of calculators=24

If Zayed creates the greatest number of identical packages

Then , we find GCF of 72 and 24

72=2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 3

24=2\times 2\times 2\times 3

GCF=2\times 2\times 2\times 3

Hence, Zayed creates 24 packages.

Number of pencils in each package=\frac{72}{24}=3

Hence, 3 pencils and one calculator will be in each package .

The following graph represents the hourly commission of a home appliance salesperson, y, based on the number of salespeople that
grandymaker [24]

We have been given graph of a downward opening parabola with vertex at point (6.5,42.25). We are asked to write equation of the parabola in standard form.

We know that equation of parabola in standard form is f(x)=ax^2+bx+c.

We will write our equation in vertex form and then convert it into standard form.

Vertex for of parabola is y=a(x-h)^2+k, where point (h,k) represents vertex of parabola and a represents leading coefficient.

Since our parabola is downward opening so leading coefficient will be negative.

Upon substituting coordinates of vertex and point (0,0) in vertex form, we will get:

0=-a(0-6.5)^2+42.25

0=-a(42.25)+42.25

-42.25=-a(42.25)+42.25-42.25

-42.25=-42.25a

a=1 Divide both sides by -42.25

So our equation in vertex form would be f(x)=-(x-6.5)^2+42.25.

Let us convert it in standard from.

f(x)=-(x^2-13x+42.25)+42.25

f(x)=-x^2+13x-42.25+42.25

f(x)=-x^2+13x

Therefore, the equation of function is standard form would be f(x)=-x^2+13x.

Systems of equations, help please?
lord [1]
4x + 3y = 54 (1)
3x + 9y = 108 (2)

Multiply (1) by (-3)
-12x - 9y = -162 
3x + 9y = 108
---------------------add
-9x  =  -54
   x = 6

plug x = 6 into (1) to find y
4(6) + 3y = 54
24 + 3y = 54
3y = 30
  y = 10

Answer
(6 , 10)

Hope it helps.
