I'm trying to find out the number of how much it cost to wrap each present, day one 41 small gifts were wrapped and 45 large wer
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Small gift: $2

Large gift: $7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent cost of wrapping each small gift and y represent cost of wrapping each large gift.

We have been given that day one 41 small gifts were wrapped and 45 large were wrapped equaling $397.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

41x+45y=397...(1)

We are also told that day two 30 small gifts were wrapped and 47 large were wrapped equaling $389. We can represent this information in an equation as:

30x+47y=389...(2)  

From equation (1), we will get:

x=\frac{397-45y}{41}

Upon substituting this value in equation (2), we will get:

30(\frac{397-45y}{41})+47y=389

\frac{11910-1350y}{41}+\frac{47*41y}{41}=389

\frac{11910-1350y+1927y}{41}=389

\frac{11910+577y}{41}=389

\frac{11910+577y}{41}\cdot 41=389\cdot 41

11910+577y=15949

11910-11910+577y=15949-11910

577y=4039

\frac{577y}{577}=\frac{4039}{577}

y=7

Therefore, cost to wrap a large gift is $7.

Upon substituting y=7 in equation x=\frac{397-45y}{41}, we will get:

x=\frac{397-45(7)}{41}

x=\frac{397-315}{41}

x=\frac{82}{41}

x=2

Therefore, cost to wrap a small gift is $2.

Solve the system of equations.
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y = 34

x + y = 212

-------------------add

2x = 246

x = 246/2

x = 123 <=== 123 domestic

x + y = 212

123 + y = 212

y = 212 - 123

y = 89 <===== 89 foreign

Find the equation of the lines perpendicular and parallel to 2x-3y=8 line through the point (-2,-4)
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

y= -1.5x-7 is the equation of the perpendicular line

Here's why:

when we convert 2x-3y=8 to standard form, we get y= 2/3x-8/3. This means the perpendicular line will have a slope of the negative reciprocal of the original one, so the perpendicular slope is -1.5. When we substitute the points (-2,-4) into the equation y=-1.5x+b, we get a b value of -7. So the perpendicular line equation is y= -1.5x-7. You can't the parallel line equation with the points (-2,-4) as it is part of the line 2x-3y=8.

Suppose f(x)=x^2 what is the graph of g(x)=f(2x)
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Since g(x) = f(2x), this means we substitute 2x in place of x for f(x):

g(x) = f(2x) = (2x)² = 4x²

Graphing this, the parabola is not moved from the parent graph f(x) = x², but the graph is compressed horizontally by a factor of 4.Step-by-step explanation:
