f(-3)=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=2x^2+5x-9\\By\ substituting\ x=-3,\\f(-3)=2(-3)^2+5*-3-9\\f(-3)=2*9-15-9\\f(-3)=18-15-9=-6$

A group of friends buys 15 movie tickets for a total of $147.66, which

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer: $9.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the full tax price by the sales tax (7% or .07) plus 1 (always add 1 to the tax) thus

$147.66 / 1.07 = $138.00

So $138.00 is the full price without tax.

Now divide $138.00 by the amount of tickets (15) to find a single ticket price before tax!

138.00/15 = $9.20

Remember to always add 1 to the tax percentage above when dividing to get the *pre-tax* price.

4. Nine fruit juice bottles contain 4 1/2 litres of fruit juice between them.

brilliants [131]

Answer:

2 $\frac{1}{2}$ litres or 2.5 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, 9 fruit juice bottles contain 4 $\frac{1}{2}$ litres of fruit juice. Therefore, to find how many litres of fruit juice would be contained in 5 fruit juice bottles, you multiply 5 by 4 $\frac{1}{2}$ litres and you divide the product by 9.

i.e. Let the quantity of the fruit juice for 5 bottles be x.

9 juice bottles ===> 4 $\frac{1}{2}$ litres

5 juice bottles ===> x

∴x = $\frac{5 * 4\frac{1}{2} }{9} litres$
