Let the cost of 1 notebook be x and the cost of 1 binder be y.

4 notebooks and 3 binders would cost 23.5

Therefore, 4x + 3y = 23.5     (1)

7 notebooks and 6 binders would cost 44.5

Therefore, 7x + 6y = 44.5     (2)

Multiply the first equation by 2.

8x + 6y = 47     (3)

(3) - (2) gives

x = 2.5

Substitute the value of x in (1), we get,

4(2.5) + 3y = 23.5

10 + 3y = 23.5

3y = 23.5 - 10

3y = 13.5

y = 13.5/3

y = 4.5

Hence, cost of 5 notebooks and 3 binders is:

5x + 3y = 5(2.5) + 3(4.5)

           = 12.5 + 13.5

           = 26

Hence, cost of 5 notebooks and 3 binders is $26.

The equation for the table is f(x)=3x+1 so I don’t know for a but for b it would be f(x) because 1 is greater than 5.

B. The 100th term of 60, 110, 160, ... is (Simplify your answer.) How to do this?​
Advocard [28]

The 1st term is 60.

Add 50 to this to get the 2nd term, 60 + 50 = 110.

Add 50 to that to get the 3rd term, 110 + 50 = 160.

Add 50 to that to get the 4th term, 160 + 50 = 210.

And so on...

Notice that in the 2nd term, we added 1 copy of 50 to the 1st term.

In the 3rd, we ultimately added 2 copies of 50 to the 1st term.

In the 4th, we added 3 50s.

And so on... If the pattern continues, then the <em>n</em>-th term can be obtained by adding (<em>n</em> - 1) copies of 50 to the first term.

So, the 100th term is

60 + (100 - 1) * 50 = 5010

write an equation of the line containing the specified point and perpendicular to indicated line. (-5,6) 4x-y=3
Radda [10]
<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{29}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to rearrange the equation to make it y = mx + c

4x - y = 3

y + 3 = 4x

y = 4x -3

So the slope of the line is 4.

The slope of a line perpendicular to an equation is:

\frac{-1}{gradient}

So the slope of the perpendicular line is:

\frac{-1}{4} = -0.25

Now to find the equation of a line you can use the following equation:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Where y₁ is the y-coordinate, x₁ is the x-coordinate and m is the gradient. Plug the values in:

y₁ = 6

x₁ = -5

m = \frac{-1}{4}

y - 6 = \frac{-1}{4}(x - - 5)

To get rid of the fraction we need to multiply the whole equation by 4:

4y - 24 = -1(x - - 5)

The two negatives cancel out:

4y - 24 = -1(x + 5)

Multiply the brackets out:

4y - 24 = -x + 5

Now, to rearrange the formula back into y = mx + c

Move the -24 over to the other side making it a +24:

4y = 2x + 5 + 24

4y = 2x + 29

Divide everything by 4:

y = \frac{2}{4}x + \frac{29}{4}

y = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{29}{4}
