Answer:

  8 bags of pretzels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of bags of pretzels Tim buys. We assume he spends exactly $20 on exactly 12 bags of snack food. Then his purchase is ...

  1.50x + 2.00(12-x) = 20.00

  -0.50x +24.00 = 20.00 . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms

  -0.50x = -4.00 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 24

  x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . divide by -0.50

Tim will buy 8 bags of pretzels.

Leya [2.2K]
B(x) = 100 - 3.5x
84 = 100 - 3.5x
3.5x = 100 - 84 = 16
x = 16/3.5 = 4.6 kilometers

96 = 100 - 3.5x
3.5x = 100 - 96 = 4
x = 4/3.5 = 1.1 kilometers

Therefore, the boiling point of water is between 84°C and 96°C at elevations of between 4.6 kilometers and 1.1 kilometers.

Find all of the points of the form (x, −x) which are 7 units from the origin.
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

  • (-7, 0) and (7, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>All the points that are 7 units from the origin are on the circle:</u>

  • x² + y² = 7²

<u>The maximum and minimum values of x obtained when y = 0:</u>

  • x² = 7²
  • √x² = √7²
  • x = ± 7

So

  • min x = -7 and
  • max x = 7

<u>The points are:</u>

  • (-7, 0) and (7, 0)

A Trapezoid needs to have one pair of sides parallel.

Two of the points already plotted have the same Y value ( 3)

So the 4th dot, should have the same Y value as the first dot, which is 1.

The 4th dot should be plotted at C (5,1)
