The system of equation is: 15x+12y=348, 8x+8y=200. The price of a jacket times number of jackets means the amount of money spent on jackets, and same for sweatpants. Their sum is the total amount of money spent.

We have been given 2 instances with 2 unknowns. We can build a system of simultaneous equations.
x - price of a jacket 
y - price of pair of sweatpants
when he buys 15 jackets - price - 15x
and 12 pairs of sweatpants - price - 12y
total price he paid was 348
first equation,
15x + 12y = 348
next he buys 8 jackets - 8x 
and 8 pairs of sweatpants - 8y
Total price - 200
second equation 
8x + 8y = 200
system of equations therefore,
15x + 12y = 348
8x + 8y = 200

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

b would be 0

your slope is rise/run. up one and over three. up one and over three. so 1/3

write it as y=1/3x+0, or y=1/3x

Wilhelmina wrote a check for $72 to pay her monthly Internet bill, but when
lesantik [10]

Answer:

her bank statement will show that she has $144 less than her checkbook balance

Step-by-step explanation:

let the amount of money in the bank before writing the check be x

after writing the check for $72, because she accidentally recorded this as a credit, here checkbook will reflect a balance of :$(x + 72)

However, the bank correctly records the debit of the $72, resulting  a balance of: $(x-72)

Hence compared to her checkbook,  the bank records will show an amount difference of :

(x-72) - (x + 72)

= x - 72 -x -72

= -144

i.e her bank statement will show that she has $144 less than her checkbook balance

What is the asymptote for the graph of this logarithmic function?<br><br> f(x) = log3(x – 1)
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Vertical Asymptote:

x=1

Horizontal asymptote:

it does not exist

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

f(x)=log_3(x-1)

Vertical asymptote:

we know that vertical asymptotes are values of x where f(x) becomes +inf or -inf

we know that any log becomes -inf when value inside log is zero

so, we can set value inside log to zero

and then we can solve for x

x-1=0

we get

x=1

Horizontal asymptote:

we know that

horizontal asymptote is a value of y when x is +inf or -inf

For finding horizontal asymptote , we find lim x-->inf or -inf

\lim_{x \to \infty}  f(x)= \lim_{x \to \infty}log_3(x-1)

\lim_{x \to \infty}  f(x)=log_3(\infty-1)

\lim_{x \to \infty}  f(x)=undefined

so, it does not exist
