Answer: 4 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Kacie bought x, number of pencils. She paid $0.91, including tax, for a pencil and gave the cashier $10 and received $6.36 back in change.

Let the number of pencils bought be x.

Since she paid $0.91 per pencil, and gave the cashier $10 and collected $6.36 as change, this will be:

10 - 0.91x = 6.36

Collect like terms

0.91x = 10 - 6.36

0.91x = 3.64

x = 3.64/0.91

x = 4

She bought 4 pencils

Answer:

She purchased 4 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to calculate the number of pencils bought given the information in the question.

The amount per pencil is $0.91. The total amount of this since she bought x number of pencils is $0.91 * x = $0.91x

Now, after paying $10, she was given $6.36 as change

what this means is that what the pencils cost is 10-6.36 = $3.64

Now we equate the cost in terms of x to this;

0.91x = 3.64

x = 3.64/0.91

x = 4 pencils

Anyone can help me I would appreciate it
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

This would be shifted down 8 and made 3 times less steep.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine these transformations, we first need to compare the constants at the end. This will determine the up or downward shift. Since the f(x) is 5 and the g(x) is -3, we know that it went down 8.

Next we compare the coefficients of x. Since the f(x) is 6 and the g(x) is 2, we know that it is 3 times less steep.

BRAINLIESTTT ASAP!!! PLEASE HELP ME :)<br><br> Explain your answer please and show your steps/work.

Answer:

√x

Step-by-step explanation:

First, simplify -3⁄6 to -½. Next, according to the Negative Exponential Rule, move the denominator to the numerator to get x¹\²:

bⁿ = 1\b⁻ⁿ

Then, according to the Definition of Rational Exponents [part I], rewrite this as a radical, which in this case would be √x. This is when your numerator is 1:

ⁿ√aᵐ = aᵐ\ⁿ

**I have a video that explains all six exponential rules. It is titled "Six Exponential Procedures". I encourage you to watch the video and gain alot more knowledge from it, so you can better understand the concept.
