A store is having a sale on jelly beans and trail mix. For 3 pounds of jelly beans and 2 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is

$14. For 5 pounds of jelly beans and 6 bounds of trail mix, the total cost is $28. Find the cost for each pound of jelly beans and each pound for trail mix.

3j+2t=14  subtract 2t from both sides

3j=14-2t  divide both sides by 3

j=(14-2t)/3

...

5j+6t=28, using j found above in this equation yields.

5(14-2t)/3+6t=28  perform indicated multiplication on left side

(70-10t+18t)/3=28  multiply both sides by 3

70-10t+18t=84  combine like terms on the left side

70+8t=84  subtract 70 from both sides

8t=14 divide both sides by 8

t=$1.75, and since j=(14-2t)/3

j=(14-2(1.75))/3

j=$3.50

So a pound of trail mix costs $1.75 and a pound of jelly beans costs $3.50.

Which of the following functions is not linear?
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

<h2>D. y = 8x² + 8x + 4</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a linear function is in form:

y=mx+b

We have:

\bold{A.}\\\\y=8(x+8)+4(x+8)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\y=8x+64+4x+32\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\y=12x+86\to m=12,\ b=86\\\\\bold{linear\ function}

\bold{B.}\\\\y=\dfrac{\sqrt8}{8}x-4\to m=\dfrac{\sqrt8}{8},\ b=-4\\\\\bold{linear\ function}

\bold{C.}\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{8}x+8\to m=\dfrac{1}{8},\ b=8\\\\\bold{linear\ function}

\bold{D.}\\\\y=8x^2+8x+4\\\\\bold{not\ linear\ function}\\\\\text{because is}\ x^2\\\\\text{It's a quadratic function}

Please help &lt;3 Find the value of the variables in the parallelograms.
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Hello!

answer: a = 5

b = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

since we are given 1 side of the parellogram we can use that to figure out the rest! parellograms will add up to 360 degrees since 1 angle is 115 that means the other will be 115 115 + 115 = 230

360 - 230 = 130 since there 2 angles across from each other they will both equal the same so 130 ÷ 2 = 65 so both of these angles will have to equal 65 because 65 + 65 + 115 + 115 = 360 a = 5 because 14 x 5 = 70 and 70 - 5 = 65 b = 8 because 8 x 8 = 64 and 64 + 1 = 65 Hope this helps you understand!

USPshnik [31]
1 meter is the same as 100 centimeters, so since Liz jumped 100 centimeters, and Alana jumped 132, Alana jumped higher.
