Answer: 28x + 15y = 131 and x + y = 7 where x is the number of Dress shirt and y is the number of T-shirt.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will represent the number of Dress shirt he bought by x and we will represent the number of T-shirt he bought by y.

We know that he spent 131 so the cost of each dress shirt plus the cost of each T-shirt has to equal 131. Also, he bought 7 total shirts so x plus y has to equal 7.

28x + 15y = 131

x + y = 7

Note: it says don't solve so I didn't solve but if you want to solve use these equations.

Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form. 3x − 11y = 19

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

y = 3/11(x) - 19/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 3x from both sides.

$3x-11y-3x=19-3x$
$-11y=-3x+19$

Step 2: Divide both sides by -11.

$-11y/-11=(-3x+19)/-11$
$y=\frac{3}{11}x-\frac{19}{11}$

Therefore, the answer is y = 3/11(x) - 19/11.

The mean of this data is 8 what two numbers could go in the blanks 12,4,9,13,7,11,5,2,-,-

Sophie [7]

12+4+9+13+7+11+5+2+_+_ /10= 8
x10 both sides

12+4+9+13+7+11+5+2+_+_=80
63+_+_=80
-63 both sides
_+_= 17
any two numbers that add up to 17 can go in the planks

Answer:

$\textsf{A)} \quad x=-2, \:\:x=\dfrac{5}{2}$

$\textsf{B)} \quad \left(\dfrac{1}{4},-\dfrac{81}{8}\right)=(0.25,-10.125)$

C) See attachment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

$f(x)=2x^2-x-10$

To factor a quadratic in the form $ax^2+bx+c$ , find two numbers that multiply to $ac$ and sum to $b$ :

$\implies ac=2 \cdot -10=-20$

$\implies b=-1$

Therefore, the two numbers are -5 and 4.

Rewrite $b$ as the sum of these two numbers:

$\implies f(x)=2x^2-5x+4x-10$

Factor the first two terms and the last two terms separately:

$\implies f(x)=x(2x-5)+2(2x-5)$

Factor out the common term (2x - 5):

$\implies f(x)=(x+2)(2x-5)$

The x-intercepts are when the curve crosses the x-axis, so when y = 0:

$\implies (x+2)(2x-5)=0$

Therefore:

$\implies (x+2)=0 \implies x=-2$

$\implies (2x-5)=0 \implies x=\dfrac{5}{2}$

So the x-intercepts are:

$x=-2, \:\:x=\dfrac{5}{2}$

The x-value of the vertex is:

$\implies x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}$

Therefore, the x-value of the vertex of the given function is:

$\implies x=\dfrac{-(-1)}{2(2)}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

To find the y-value of the vertex, substitute the found value of x into the function:

$\implies f\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)=2\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^2-\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)-10=-\dfrac{81}{8}$

Therefore, the vertex of the function is:

$\left(\dfrac{1}{4},-\dfrac{81}{8}\right)=(0.25,-10.125)$

Plot the x-intercepts found in Part A.

Plot the vertex found in Part B.

As the leading coefficient of the function is positive, the parabola will open upwards. This is confirmed as the vertex is a minimum point.

The axis of symmetry is the x-value of the vertex. Draw a line at x = ¹/₄ and use this to ensure the drawing of the parabola is symmetrical.

Draw a upwards opening parabola that has a minimum point at the vertex and that passes through the x-intercepts (see attachment).

Roland's Boat Tours sells deluxe and economy seats for each tour it conducts. In order to complete a tour, at least 14 economy s

dmitriy555 [2]

At least 14 economy and at least 5 deluxe...total of 45 seats. He makes a bigger profit from selling economy seats....so we need the most economy seats we can get.

45 seats - 5 deluxe = 40 economy

so the most profit would be 40 economy and 5 deluxe
40 economy = (40 x 30) = 1200 profit
5 deluxe = (5 x 25) = 125 profit
for a maximum profit of : $ 1325

U(-3,6), V(-8, 1), W(-3,1) 180° rotation about the origin

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

U'(3, -6), V'(8, -1), W'(3, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the 180°-rotation rule, you take the OPPOSITE of both the y-coordinate and x-coordinate:

Extended Rotation Rules

270°-clockwise rotation [90°-counterclockwise rotation] >> (x, y) → (-y, x)

270°-counterclockwise rotation [90°-clockwise rotation] >> (x, y) → (y, -x)

180°-rotation >> (x, y) → (-x, -y)

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
