Answer:

Vase: $14; Mug: $8

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the costs of each vase and of each mug. Since we don't know these values yet, we can use variable v to represent the cost of each vase and variable m to represent the cost of each mug.

We are told that 4 vases and 3 mugs cost $80.

So 4v + 3m = 80.

We are also told that 3 vases and 6 mugs cost $90.

So 3v + 6m = 90.

Now, there are many approaches to solve these two equations, but the most straightforward for this particular question would be to subtract one of the equations from the other.

Since 3v can be conveniently subtracted from 4v to give you v.

    4v + 3m = 80

 - (3v + 6m = 90)

-------------------------

       v - 3m = -10

Isolate variable v.

v = 3m - 10

Now, substitute v = 3m - 10 into either one of the original equations.

4v + 3m = 80

4(3m-10) + 3m = 80

12m - 40 + 3m = 80

15m - 40 = 80

15m = 120

m = 120/15 = 8

Since m = 8, we know that each mug costs 8 dollars.

Now, substitute m = 8 into the equation again to find the cost of each vase.

4v + 3m = 80

4v + 3(8) = 80

4v + 24 = 80

4v = 56

v = 14.

Since v = 14, we know that each vase costs 14 dollars.

You can check your answer by plugging in both.

4(14) + 3(8) = 80

56 + 24 = 80

80 = 80

Solve y=f(x) for x . f(x)=23x+4 x= Question 2 Find the input when the output is 2. The input is .
Fantom [35]

Let's find f(x) = 2, which is essentially what the problem is asking, what x corresponds to an output of 2.


Let's solve below:

f(x) = 2

  • Setting up what we know

23x + 4 = 2

  • Substituting in 23x + 4 for f(x) (I'm not sure if this is the correct expression for f(x) due to formatting issues)

23x = -2

  • Subtract 4 from both sides to make a step to isolate x (what we are trying to find)

x = - \frac{2}{23}

  • Divide both sides of the equation by 23 to isolate x

Thus the input is \boxed{x = - \frac{2}{23}}.

<h3>Answer:   0.5</h3>

This is equivalent to the fraction 1/2

==============================================================

Explanation:

The distance from A to B is 3 units. We can count out the spaces, or subtract the x coordinates of the two points and apply absolute value.

|A-B| = |-5-(-8)| = |-5+8| = |3| = 3

or

|B-A| = |-8-(-5)| = |-8+5| = |-3| = 3

We can say that segment AB is 3 units long.

--------------------------

The distance from A' to B' is 1.5 units because...

|A'-B'| = |-2.5-(-4)| = |-2.5+4| = |1.5| = 1.5

or

|B'-A'| = |-4-(-2.5)| = |-4+2.5| = |-1.5| = 1.5

The absolute values ensure the distance is never negative.

We can say A'B' = 1.5

---------------------------

Now divide the lengths of A'B' over AB to get the scale factor k

k = (A'B')/(AB)

k = (1.5)/(3)

k = 0.5

0.5 converts to the fraction 1/2.

The smaller rectangle A'B'C'D' has side lengths that are exactly 1/2 as long compared to the side lengths of ABCD.
