So I think you should set up an equation like this: 14.95x+16.88y=131.18 , x+y=8

so x=8-y, plug this into the original equation:
14.95(8-y)+16.88y=131.18
Evaluate: 119.60-14.95y+16.88y=131.18
Combine like terms: 119.60+1.93y=131.18
Subtract 119.60 from both sides. You get: 1.93y=11.58
Divide both sides by 1.93. You get y=6

Plug into second equation: x+y=8 ---> x+6=8 and solve for x. x=2

Christine bought 2 video games and 6 CDs. 14.95(2)+16.88(6)=131.18

Answer:

v = 400000(2^\wedge d)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Initial\ Value = \$400000

Rate = doubles per decade

Required

Determine the equation of the function

The information given shows that the function is exponential and will be calculated using:

v = ab^d

Where:

a = Initial Value = 400000

b = rate = 2

d = number of decades

v = the current value of the home

So, we have:

v = 400000* 2^\wedge d

v = 400000(2^\wedge d)

What is radical 12 (squared )
natima [27]

In mathematics, a radical expression is defined as any expression containing a radical (√) symbol - includes square roots, cube roots and so forth. Expressing in simplest radical form just means simplifying a radical so that there are no more square roots, cube roots, 4th roots, etc left to find.

So √12 is in radical form. I think what you are asking for is to reduce the expression to its simplest radical form.

So 12 = 4*3, √12 = √4 * √3.

We can ‘reduce’ this by noting that √4 =2, so the expression becomes 2√3.

This cannot be further reduced because 3 isn’t a square or divisible by a square, so 2√3 is the simplest radical form.

I need help with this as well ty lol
Pie
so you use the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2
so C will be JL
13m^2 + 17m^2 = c^2
458 m = c^2

to leave C alone you need to square root it

√458m = √c^2
21.4 = C

Angela likes to use two walking sticks when she goes hiking but the two walking sticks she has been giving wrestling are differe
Mazyrski [523]
Given:
long stick: 3 4/5 feet
short stick: 3 1/2 feet

convert mix fractions into improper fractions:

3 4/5 = (3*5)+4/5 = 19/5  long stick
3 1/2 = (3*2)+1/2 = 7/2  short stick

19/5 - 7/2 ⇒ (19/5 * 2/2) - (7/2 * 5/5) = 38/10 - 35/10 = (38 - 35)/10 = 3/10

3/10 feet should be cut from the longer stick so that the two walking sticks will be the same length.

3 4/5 ft = 45.6 inches  long stick
3 1/2 ft = 42 inches   short stick
3/10 ft = 3.6 inches  to be cut from long stick

45.6 inches - 3.6 inches = 42 inches
