Answer:

It would cost you $12.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Model an equation, using c as the initial cost variable and x as the final cost, and then solve for x.

x =  \frac{100 - 15}{100} c \\ x =  \frac{85}{100} (15) \\ x =  \frac{17}{20} (15) \\ x =  \frac{17}{4} (3) \\ x = \frac{51}{4}  \\ x = 12.75

Find the values of m and b for this line.
Andrej [43]

Answer:

b=-5, m= - 3/-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope equation is y=mx+b. Slope is finding the rise(vertical change) over run(horizontal change). In this case, -3 is our negative rise and 2 is our run. Put that into fraction form, we get negative 3/2. In the slope equation, b represents the y-intercept(where the line touches the y-axis). In this case, it is -5. Hope this helps you!

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

This explanation mostly depends on what you're learning right now. The first way would be to convert this matrix to a system of equations like this.

g + t + k = 90

g + 2t - k = 55

-g - t + 3k = 30

Then you solve using normal methods of substitution or elimination. It seems to me that elimination is the quickest method.

g + t + k = 90

-g - t + 3k = 30

____________

0 + 0 + 4k = 120

4k = 120

k = 30

No you can plug this into the first two equations

g + t + (30) = 90

g + t = 60

and

g + 2t - (30) = 55

g + 2t = 85

now use elimination again by multiplying the first equation by -1

g + 2t = 85

-g - t = -60

_________

0 + t = 25

t = 25

Now plug those both back into one of the equations. I'll just do the first one.

g + (25) + (30) = 90

g = 35

Therefore, we know that Ted spent the least amount of time on the computer.

The second method is using matrix reduction and getting the matrix in the row echelon form, therefore solving using the gauss jordan method. If you would like me to go through this instead, please leave a comment.
