Answer:

  $1.45

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the question, we would like to have an equation that has the cost of a game as its only variable. That is, we would like to eliminate the cost of a ride from the system of equations we must write.

Let g and r represents the costs of a game and a ride, respectively. Then the expenses of the two carnival-goers can be described by ...

  5g +6r = 11.75

  7g +8r = 16.15

We note that the ratio of coefficients in the variable (r) that we want to eliminate is 3:4. So we can subtract 4 times the first equation from 3 times the second to eliminate that variable.

  3(7g +8r) -4(5g +6r) = 3(16.15) -4(11.75)

  g = 1.45 . . . . . . simplify

The cost to play one game was $1.45.

Answer:

(0, 9 ) and (- 4, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which ordered pairs lie on the graph substitute the x- coordinate of the point into the right side of the equation and compare the value obtained with the y- coordinate

(- 20, - 49 )

2x + 9 = (2 × - 20) + 9 = - 40 + 9 = - 31 ≠ - 49

(1, 10 )

2x + 9 = (2 × 1) + 9 = 2 + 9 = 11 ≠ 10

(0, 9 )

2x + 9 = (2 × 0) + 9 = 0 + 9 = 9 ← point lies on graph

(- 4, 1 )

2x + 9 = (2 × - 4) + 9 = - 8 + 9 = 1 ← point lies on graph

(- 3, 40 )

2x + 9 = ( 2 × - 3) + 9 = - 6 + 9 = 3 ≠ 40

Find the y-intercept of the line who's equation is Y = 3.5 x- 0.4.
agasfer [191]
\sf y=mx+b

m is the slope
b is the y-intercept

so that means that the y-intercept of

\sf y=3.5x + .4

is \sf .4

\bf{\huge{\boxed{y-intercept = .4}}}

True or false:in a geometric sequence, the term a(n+1) can be smaller than the term a(n)
Svetllana [295]
A(n) = current term

a(n + 1) = next term

in a geometric sequence, the next term comes from a product of the current term and the common ratio.

the common ratio can be any value, let's say use r = ½.

if the current term is say hmmm 40, the next term is 40*½ , or 20, so indeed, the next term is smaller.
