27.) A customer went to a garden shop and bought some potting soil for $17.50 and 4 shrubs. The total bill was $53.50. Write and

solve an equation to find the price of each shrub.
a.) 4(p + $17.50) = $53.50; p = $4.00


b.) 4p + $17.50 = $53.50; p = $11.25


c.) 4p + $17.50 = $53.50; p = $9.00


d.) 4p + 17.5 p = $53.50; p = $2.49

Answer:

c) The equation to find the price of each shrub is    $53.50 = 4 p + $17.50

The cost of 1 shrub = p =  $ 9.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of shrubs purchased = 4

The price paid for potting soil = $17.50

The total bill of purchase = $53.50

Let us assume the cost of 1 shrub   = $p

The total amount spent of 4 shrubs = 4 x ( The price of each shrub)  =  4 p

TOTAL BILL = The amount paid for 4 shrubs +  AMOUNT paid for SOIL

⇒ $53.50 = 4 p + $17.50

Now. solving for p, we get:

53.50 - 17.50  = 4  p

or, 3 6  = 4 p

or, p = 36/4 = 9

or, p = 9

Hence, the cost of each shrub = $9

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

y=5 x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

x-y=-2 move the y over to isolate x

x=-2+y Now plug that in for x in the first equation

2(-2+y)-y=1 Distribute

-4+y=1 Add 4 on both sides

y=5

x-5=-2

x=3

A basketball player stands near the middle of the court and throws the ball toward the basket.
kompoz [17]

Answer:

A function to represent the height of the ball in terms of its distance from the player's hands is y=\frac{-1}{54}(x-18)^2+12

Step-by-step explanation:

General equation of parabola in vertex form y= a(x-h)^2+k

y represents the height

x represents horizontal distance

(h,k) is the coordinates of vertex of parabola

We are given that The  ball travels to a maximum height of 12 feet when it is a horizontal distance of 18 feet from the player's hands.

So,(h,k)=(18,12)

Substitute the value in equation

y=a(x-18)^2+12  ---1

The ball leaves the player's hands at a height of 6 feet above the ground and the distance at this time is 0

So, y = 6

So,6=a(0-18)^2+12

6=324a+12

-6=324a

\frac{-6}{324}=a

\frac{-1}{54}=a

Substitute the value in 1

So,y=\frac{-1}{54}(x-18)^2+12

Hence a function to represent the height of the ball in terms of its distance from the player's hands is y=\frac{-1}{54}(x-18)^2+12
