Answer: the price of a guppy is $3.19 and the price of a platy is $2.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price of a guppy.

Let y represent the price of a platy.

Marta brought 3 guppies and 2 platies for a total of $13.95. It means that

3x + 2y = 13.95 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Hank also bought 3 guppies and 4 platies for a total of $18.33. It means that

3x + 4y = 18.33 - - - - - - - - - - - 2

Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes

2y - 4y = 13.95 - 18.33

- 2y = - 4.38

y = - 4.38/ - 2

y = 2.19

Substituting y = 2.19 into equation 1, it becomes

3x + 2 × 2.19 = 13.95

3x + 4.38 = 13.95

3x = 13.95 - 4.38 = 9.57

x = 9.57/3 = 3.19

Find the product:<br><br> (r+2)(r-5)(r-2)(r+5)<br><br> Please show all steps.<br><br> 15 points.
Virty [35]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

r^4- 29r^2 + 100

Discussion:

Rearrange the terms in the product as follows:

(r+2)(r-2) *  (r-5)(r+5)  =

(r^2 - 4) * (r^2-25) =

f^4 - (25+4)r^2 + 4*25 =

r^4- 29r^2 + 100

Thank you,

MrB

DOES ANYONE GET THIS? ):
KonstantinChe [14]

There is a given point (10,3) this shows that when the width (X) is 10, the height (Y) is 3.

On the left side of the graph, they show an equation for the height Hw as being the constant over w ( width).

Using the given point solve for the constant.

Replace Hw with 3 and w with 10:

3 = Constant/10

Solve for the constant by multiplying both sides by 10:

Constant = 3 x 10

Constant = 30

The answer is B.
