3.  x-pretzels
     y-granola
Lesley:   4x+2y=13.5
Landon: 1x+5y=17.55⇒x=17.55-5y

4*(17.55-5y)+2y=13.5⇒70.2-18y=13.5
x=17.55-5y

18y=56.7⇒y=3.15
x=17.55-5y⇒x=17.55-5*3.15⇒x=1.8

The cost for one bag of pretzels is $1.8, <span>the cost for a box of granola bars is $3.15.


4. The wood bats: x-$24
    The metal bats: y</span>-$30
<span>Savelots sold 23 baseball bats: x+y=23
</span><span>The receipts for those bats totaled $606: $24x+$30y=$606
x+y=23⇒x=23-y
24x+30y=606

x=23-y
24*(23-y)+30y=606⇒552-24y+30y=606

x=23-y
6y=54⇒y=9
             x=14
14 wood bats and 9 metal bats were sold.

Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars  
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
 And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55 
 We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55 
 We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
 2y-20y=13.50-70.2
 -18y=-56.7
 y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
 
 Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
 x+5*3.15=17.55
 x+15.75=17.55
 x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
  
 Problem 4.
 Let w = number of wood bats sold
 Let m = number of metal bats sold
 
 From sales information we have: w + m = 23
 24w+30m=606 
 Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second. 
 24*(23-m)+30m=606
 552-24m+30m=606
 6m=54
 m=9 = number of metal bats sold
 Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.

Two friends shop for fresh fruit. Elena buys a watermelon for $7.45 and 3 pounds ofcherries. Taniy buys a pineapple for $3.35 an
Scrat [10]

Let's use the variable E to represent the total value spent by Elena and T to represent the total value spent by Taniy.

If Elena spent $7.45 plus the cost of 3 pounds of cherries, the expression for the amount she spent is:

E=7.45+3p

Taniy spent $3.35 plus the cost of 2 pounds of cherries, so the expression for the amount the spent is:

T=3.35+2p

To find how much more Elena spent, let's subtract both expressions:

\begin{gathered} E-T\\ \\ =7.45+3p-(3.35+2p)\\ \\ =7.45+3p-3.35-2p\\ \\ =4.1+p \end{gathered}

Therefore the answer is 4.1 + p.

Write a function to represent the set of ordered pairs.
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Option C   f (x) = x^ 2 - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the relation describing the set of ordered pairs does not change at a costing rate

y_2 -y_1 = 7-2 = 5\\\\y_3 -y_2 = 14- 7 = 7\\\\y_4 - y_3 = 23- 14 = 9

Therefore the relationship is not linear.

However, the exchange rate y_n- y_{n-1} increases by a factor of 2 units when n increases 1 unit. This allows us to conclude that the relationship is quadratic

Note that the following ordered pairs belong to the function

y = x ^ 2

A = {(2, 4), (3, 9), (4, 16), (5, 25)}

The set of ordered pairs that we have is:

B = {(2, 2), (3, 7), (4, 16), (5, 23)}

Note that there is a similarity between both sets of ordered pairs.

In set B the values of y are always 2 units less than the values in y of the set A.

Then we deduce that since the function that models the set A is y = x ^ 2 then the function that contains the ordered pairs of the B set is:

y = x ^ 2 -2

The correct option is option C) f (x) = x^ 2 - 2

D=rt for r<br> solve for the specified variable
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

r=d/t

Step-by-step explanation:

d=rt

we are to make r the subject of the formula, so we remove t from the rhs.

we do this by dividing both sides by t

d divided by t= d/t and rt divided by t = r

therefore d/t =rt/t

= r=d/t
