Answer:

Width = 5.5 feet

Length =  14.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

let the width = x feet

Length = 3x - 2 feet

Perimeter = 40 feet

2 * width + 2  * length = 40

2x + 2*(3x-2) = 40

2x + 6x - 4 = 40

              8x = 40 + 4 = 44

               x = 44/8  = 5.5

Width = 5.5 feet

Length = 3 * 5.5 -2 = 16.5 - 2 = 14.5 feet

Julie and mark are selling wrapping paper for a school fundraiser. Julie sold 13 rolls of plain wrapping paper and 8 rolls of ho
patriot [66]

Answer:

Cost of one roll of plain wrapping paper is $12 and Cost of one roll of holiday paper is $17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution,

Let the cost of 1 plain wrapping paper be x.

And the cost of 1  holiday paper be y.

Julie sold 13 rolls of plain wrapping paper and 8 rolls of holiday paper and earns $292.

Total Money earned by Julie is equal to sum of number of wrapping paper multiplied with cost of wrapping paper and number of holiday paper multiplied with cost of holiday paper.

So we can frame it in equation form as;

13x+8y=292\ \ \ \ \ equation\ 1

Now, Mark sold 7 rolls of plain wrapping paper and 2 rolls of holiday paper and earns $118.

Total Money earned by Mark is equal to sum of number of wrapping paper multiplied with cost of wrapping paper and number of holiday paper multiplied with cost of holiday paper.

So we can frame it in equation form as;

7x+2y=118\ \ \ \ \ equation\ 2

Now Multiplying equation 2 by 4 we get;

4(7x+2y)=118\times4\\\\4\times7x+4\times2y=118\times4\\\\28x+8y= 472 \ \ \ \ equation\ 3

Now Subtracting equation 1 from equation 3.

(28x+8y)-(13x+8y)= 472-292\\\\28x+8y-13x-8y= 180\\\\15x=180\\\\x=\frac{180}{2} = \$12

Now substituting the value of x in equation 1 we get;

13x+8y=292\\\\13\times12+8y=292\\\\156+8y=292\\\\8y=292-156\\\\8y=136\\\\y=\frac{136}{8}= \$17

Hence Cost of one roll of plain wrapping paper is $12 and Cost of one roll of holiday paper is $17.

The marching band is selling candy bars and fruit snacks for a fundraiser. Candy bars are sold for $2.50 and fruit snacks are $1
Flauer [41]

Answer:

220 candy bars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of candy bars sold=c

Let the number of fruit snacks sold=f

A total of 650 items were sold.

  • Therefore: c+f=650

Candy bars are sold for $2.50

Fruit snacks are sold for $1.50

Total Income =$1,195

  • Therefore: 2.5c+1.5f=1195

We solve the resulting system of equation for c, the number of candy bars sold.

  • c+f=650
  • 2.5c+1.5f=1195

From the first equation, f=650-c

Substitute f=650-c into 2.5c+1.5f=1195

2.5c+1.5(650-c)=1195

2.5c+975-1.5c=1195

Collect like terms

2.5c-1.5c=1195-975

c=220

Therefore, 220 candy bars were sold.

I am so lost. can someone help?? the question is in the picture.
Juliette [100K]

We are given the following function:

f(x)=x^2

We are asked to do the following tranformations:

1. Shift down 5 units and left 77 units.

First, to shift a function down a number "n" of units we follow the next rule:

h(x)=f(x)-n

And, to shift a function "m" units to the left we use the following rule:

h(x)=f(x+m)

Applying both rules simultaneously we get:

h(x)=(x+77)^2-5

2. Reflect about the y-axis.

The rule to reflect a function about the y-axis is the following:

r(x)=h(-x)

The means that we will change "x" for "-x" in the function we are going to reflect. Applying the rule we get:

r(x)=(-x+77)^2-5

3. Compress vertically by a factor of 2.

To compress a function vertically by a factor "m" we multiply the entire function by 1/m, like this:

g(x)=\frac{1}{m}r(x)

Applying the rule we get:

g(x)=\frac{1}{2}((-x+77)^2-5)

And thus we get to the final function.
