Answer:she had $63.75 at first.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of money that she had at first.

kathy spent 3 fifths of her money on a necklace. This means that the amount of money that she spent on the necklace is

3/5 × x = 3x/5

The amount of money remaining would be

x - 3x/5 = 2x/5

She used 2 thirds of the remainder on a bracelet. This means that the amount of money that she spent on the bracelet is 2/3 × 2x/5 = 4x/15

If the bracelet costs $17.00, then

4x/15 = 17

4x = 15 × 17

4x = 255

x = 225/4

x = 63.75

You’re given two side lengths of 3 centimeters and 5 centimeters. Which measurement can you use for the length of the third side
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

You could use a measurement of 4 centimeters.

The valid range is  2  < x < 8  cms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The third side must either be less than 3+5, that is less than 8 cms and  it must be greater than (5-3) = 2 cms. If it is any other length we could not construct a triangle.

Help! What is the average rate of change of f(x)=x^2+3x+6 over the interval -3 less-than-or-equal-to x less-than-or-equal-to 3?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The average rate of change of the function over the interval is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change of a function:

The average rate of change of a function f(x) over an interval [a,b] is given by:

A = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Interval -3 less-than-or-equal-to x less-than-or-equal-to 3

This means that a = -3, b = 3

f(x) = x^2 + 3x + 6

So

f(b) = f(3) = (3)^2 + 3(3) + 6 = 9 + 9 + 6 = 24

f(a) = f(-3) = (-3)^2 + 3(-3) + 6 = 9 - 9 + 6 = 6

Average rate of change

A = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a} = \frac{24+6}{3-(-3)} = \frac{30}{6} = 5

The average rate of change of the function over the interval is 5.

Which of the following shows the solution to the inequality
otez555 [7]

Answer:

I got x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First to isolate the variable you add 3 to both sides which will give you 1/2x is less than or equal to 2. Then divide both sides by 1/2 and you will get x = 1. To check the answer I just did:    

1/2(1) -3 \leq -1\\1/2 -3\leq -1\\-2.5\leq -1

And since -2.5 is less than -1 this statement is true. x does in fact equal 1
