Answer:

1) The inequality is $55 ≥ $11.50 × S + $2.75

2) Alonso can afford 4 boxes of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The total amount with Alonso = $55

The amount of eggs Alonso needs = 12 eggs

The costs of the pack of 12 eggs = $2.75

The number of packs of eggs Alonso buys = 1

The cost of each box of sugar =  $11.50

Let the number of boxes of sugar Alonso buys = S

Given that the total amount of money with Alonso is $55, then the inequality will be such that $55 will be equal to or larger than the expression for items bought

Therefore, the inequality is given as follows;

$55 ≥ $11.50 × S + $2.75

2) To find out how many boxes of sugar Alonso can afford, we have;

$55 ≥ $11.50 × S + $2.75

$55 - $2.75≥ $11.50 × S

$52.25 ≥ $11.50 × S

∴ S ≤ $52.25/$11.50 = 4.54

S ≤ 4.54 boxes of sugar

As the sugar comes in whole boxes, Alonso can therefore afford only 4 whole boxes of sugar.

Alonso can afford to buy 4 boxes of sugar.

Which constants could each equation be multiplied by to eliminate the x-variable using addition in this system of equations? 2 x
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

3. The first equation can be multiplied by 3 and the second equation by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 x + 3 y = 25 (1)

-3 x + 4 y = 22 (2)

Multiply equation (1) by 3 and (2) by 2.

3(2x) = 6x

2(-3x) = -6x

When you add the two equations, x will get cancelled last

If f(x) varies directly with x2, and f(x) = 96 when x = 4, find the value of f(2).
Scilla [17]
F ( x ) = k * x²
f ( 4 ) = 96
96 = k * 4²
96 = 16 k
k = 96 : 16
k = 6
f ( 2 ) = 6 * 2² = 6 * 4 = 24
