Answer:

Jamie has 44 pairs of shoes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Jamie= x pairs of shoes

Suzie= 33 less than twice the amount of shoes Jamie has

2x - 33 = 55

Solve:

2x - 33 = 55

Collect like terms

2x = 55 + 33

2x = 88

Divide both sides by 2

2x / 2 = 88 / 2

x = 44

Jamie = x = 44 pairs of shoes

Therefore, Jamie has 44 pairs of shoes

You plan to go skiing this weekend in Tennessee. The ski resort charges $18.50 per hour in addition to a $100 deposit to rent sk
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Part a) y=18.50x+100

Part b) The total cost is \$220.25

Part c) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Write a linear equation to represent this situation

Define the variables

Let

x ----> the number of hours

y ----> the total cost in dollars

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope or the unit rate

b is the y-intercept or initial value (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

In this problem we have that

The unit rate or slope is equal to

m=\$18.50\ per\ hour

The y-intercept or initial value is equal to

b=\$100

substitute

y=18.50x+100

Part b) Use the equation to find the total cost to rent skis from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm

Remember that

3:00 pm=15:00

so

from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm, the total hours is equal to

15:00 -8:30=6:30=6.5 h

For x=6.5 h

substitute in the linear equation and solve for y

y=18.50(6.5)+100\\y=\$220.25

Part c) What does your answer mean in context of the problem?

we have that

y=220.25

That means -----> The total cost to rent skis for 6.5 hours is equal to $220.25

I need help please :)
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

[        10000(2)^{-n}       ]    where n is the number of hours.

Because the beginning will 10000/2 = 50000, then it keeps double the dividing the time.

Find all zeros of <br>f(x)= x^3 + 3x^2 − 3x − 1
PSYCHO15rus [73]
F(1) =  1^3 + 3(1)^1 - 3 - 1 = 1 + 3 - 3 - 1 = 0

so one zero  is x = 1, and x-1 is a factor

dividing f(x)  by x - 1 gives x^2 + 4x + 1

x = [-4 +/- sqrt (16 - 4)] /  2

x = -0.27, -3.73

zeroes are 1 , -0.27 and -3.73   Answer
