A produce company sells crates filled with a mixture of apples (x) and oranges (y) during the holiday season to grocery stores.

Each crate contains a total of 72 pieces of fruit. Suppose that a crate has 8 more apples than oranges. Which system of linear equations can be used to determine the number of pieces of each kind of fruit in the crate?
A) x + y = 72
8x − y = 8
B) x + y = 72
x − y = 8
C) xy = 72
x − y = 8
D) x + y = 72
x + y = 8

Answer:

option B

x+y=72

x-y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> number of apples

y ---> number of oranges

we know that

Each crate contains a total of 72 pieces of fruit

so

x+y=72 ----> equation A

A crate has 8 more apples than oranges

so

x=y+8

x-y=8 ----> equation B

therefore

Option B

Write the expression that appears under the radical symbol in the quadratic formula. what is the quality called? what can it be
ira [324]
This expression is called the Discriminant, also shown as Δ.
It is equal to b² - 4ac. This is a very important part of the quadratic formula as it determines whether x will have two values, one repeated value or no real values. Here are a few examples.

a) x² - 2x - 1. a is equal to 1 since 1x² = x². b = -2, c = -1
The discriminant will be (-2)² - 4×1×-1 = 4 + 4 = 8.
Since Δ > 0, there are two x values. Graphed, the parabola sinks below the x axis.

b) x². a = 1, b = 0 (0x = 0), c = 0
The discriminant will be 0² - 4×1×0 = 0 - 0 = 0.
Since Δ = 0, there is only one x value. Graphed, the parabola touches the x axis at only one point.

c) x² + 1. a = 1, c = 1.
The discriminant will be 0² - 4×1×1 = 0 - 4 = -4
Since Δ < 0, there are no real x values. Graphed, the parabola floats above the x axis.

Hope this helps!

9 times a number increased by 2
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

9x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you are multiplying an unknown number by 9, it would be considered 9*x or 9x.

Then, you add 2, because when you increase in math, you are adding.

Therefore, the final product is 9x + 2.
