Emily and her children went into a grocery store and she bought $20.80 worth of bananas and peaches. Each banana costs $0.80 and

each peach costs $2. She bought a total of 14 bananas and peaches altogether. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of bananas and the number of peaches that Emily bought. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

b + p = 14 and 0.80 b + 2 p = 20.80 are the system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let b be the number of bananas

Let p be the number of peaches

Given that the total of bananas and peaches that Emily bought = 14

Hence we have,

b + p = 14

Step 2 :

Cost of one banana = $0.80

Cost of one peach = $2

Cost of all the bananas and peaches Emily bought = $20.80

So sum of b bananas costing $0.80 and sum of p peaches costing $2 each is $20.80

Hence we have

0.80 b +2 p = 20.80

Solving for the above 2 equations we can get the value for b and p which will give the number of bananas and peaches bought

Step 3 :

Answer :

The system of equations that could be used to find the number of the bananas and the number of the peaches that Emily bought is given by

b + p = 14

0.80 b +2 p = 20.80

F(x) = x2 – 3x – 2 is shifted 4 units left. The result is g(x). What is g(x)?

now... your expression is not in vertex form, that's ok... to do a horizontal shift to the left by 4 units, we can simply, add the C and B component to the "x" variable, C=4, B =1, that way the horizontal shift of C/B or 4/1 is just +4, giving us a horizontal shift to the left

$\bf f(x)=x^2-3x-2\impliedby \textit{let's change that for }f(1x+4)
\\\\\\
f(1x+4)=(1x+4)^2-3(1x+4)-2
\\\\\\
f(x+4)=x^2+8x+16-3x-12-2
\\\\\\
f(x+4)=x^2-5x+2\impliedby g(x)$

Write a two point slope equations for the line passing through the points 6,5 and 3,1

Gwar [14]

The 2-point form of the equation of a line can be written as ...

... y = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)·(x -x1) +y1

For your points, this is ...

... y = (1-5)/(3-6)·(x -6) +5

... y = (4/3)(x -6) +5

It can also be written as

... y -5 = (4/3)(x -6)

Answer:

$x^{\frac{2}{3} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒ $x^({\frac{4+2}{3}) } ^{\frac{1}{3} }$

⇒ $(x^{\frac{6}{3} })$

⇒ $(x^{2} )\frac{1}{3}$

⇒ $x^{\frac{2}{3} }$

what formulas could be used to determine the surface area of a cylinder sandwiched between one cone and half of a sphere?

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer: Rectangle around the cylinder, Lateral surface of the cone, Half a sphere

To find this surface area, you have 3 different parts. First, you need the rectangular portion of the cylinder, because the circles will be on the inside of the composite shape. Then, you will need the lateral side of the cone, that's everything but the circular base. Again, the circle will be on the interior. Finally, you should find the surface area of half of the sphere.

The ratio of the price of a used washer to a new one is 1:3. If the new washer cost $720 how much could you resell it used?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
used&new\\

u&720
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{1}{u}=\cfrac{3}{720}\implies \cfrac{720\cdot 1}{3}=u$
