Answer:

x  =  15 rupees by kg   ( price of tea)

y  =  3 rupees by kg   ( price of sugar)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call " x " the price of kg of tea and " y " the price of kg of sugar,  in january of 1997,

then according to problem statement

2*x + 3*y  =  39    (1)

But in march prices increased  

tea by 25%  that means its price in march will be 1.25*x, and the price of sugar will be 1.20*y, finally buying the same quantities now cost 48.30 rupees, then

2* ( 1.25*x )  +  3 * ( 1.20*y) = 48.30  

2,50*x  +  3.60*y  = 48.30     (2)

Equations (1) and (2) are a two equation system, we need to solve for x and y

From equation  (1)  we have    y = ( 39 - 2*x ) / 3

Plugging that value in equation (2)

2,50*x  + 3.60* [ ( 39 - 2*x ) / 3]   =  48.30

2,50*x  + ( 140,40 - 7,20*x ) /3   = 48.30

7.50*x  + 140,40  - 7,20*x  =  144,90

0,30*x  =  4.50

x =  4.50/0.30

x =  15  rupees

and  y  =   ( 39 - 2*x ) / 3     ⇒  y  = ( 39 - 2*15 ) / 3

y  = ( 39 - 30 )/3

y  =  3 rupees

Answer: tea = 15 rupees  per kg

sugar= 3 rupees per kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations with the information given:

<em>"Two kg of tea and 3 kg of sugar cost rupees 39 in january 1997": </em>

2 t + 3 s =39 (a)

Where:

  • t= price of 1 kg of tea
  • s = price of 1 kg of sugar

<em>"in march 1997 the price of the tea increased by 25% (1.25)and the price of the sugar increased by 20%(1.20) and the same quantity of tea and sugar cost rupees 48.30. "</em>

2(t1.25)+3(s1.2) = 48.30 (b)

  • <em>Solving for t in (b) </em>

2t =39-3s

t = (39 -3s)/2

t = 19.5-1.5s

  • <em>Replacing the value of t in (b) </em>

2 x ((19.5-1.5s)1.25)+ 3 ( 1.2s) =48.30

2x ( 24.375 -1.875s) +3.6s =48.30

48.75 -3.75s+3.6s= 48.30

48.75-48.30 = 3.75s-3.6s

0.45= 0.15s

0.45/0.15 =s

3 =s

  • <em>Replacing the value of s in (a) </em>

2 t + 3 (3) =39

2 t + 9 =39

2 t =39 -9

2 t =30

t = 30/2

t= 15

Prices in january:

tea = 15 rupees per kg

sugar= 3 rupees per kg

Graph the function by making a table of values which table is correct
Talja [164]

It is often more convenient to evaluate a polynomial when it is written is "Horner form."

... f(x) = (((10x -4)x -8)x +3)x -6

The graphs offered can be distinguished by their values of f(1) and f(2), so our table can be a short one.

... f(1) = (((10·1 -4)1 -8)1 +3)1 -6 = -5 . . . . . . . eliminates graph d

... f(2) = (((10·2 -4)2 -8)2 +3)2 -6 = 96 . . . . eliminates graphs a and c

The appropriate choice is b.

Please , can someone answer thisss TmT
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that x1=−1, y1=5, x2=3, y2=7.

Plug the given values into the formula for a slope: m=7−(5)3−(−1)=12.

Now, the y-intercept is b=y1−mx1 (or b=y2−mx2, the result is the same).

b=5−(12)(−1)=112

Finally, the equation of the line can be written in the form y=b+mx:

y=112+x2
