How much does one case cost

Mathematics

So for this we will be using a system of equations, with one equation representing Shakira's sales and the other representing Jeff's sales. Our equations are such (Let x = oranges and y = grapefruit)

5x+8y=235\\ 3x+2y=85

For this, I will be using the elimination method. So firstly, multiply both sides of the second equation by -4: -12x-8y=-340

Next, add 5x+8y=235 and -12x-8y=-340 to get -7x = -105 . From here we can solve for x.

For this, just divide both sides by -7, and your answer is going to be x = 15.

Now that we know what x is, just substitute x for 15 in either equation to solve for y. For this I will be using the second equation.

3(15)+2y=85\\ 45+2y=85\\ 2y=40\\ y=20

Since we know that oranges cost $15 and grapefruit cost $20, just add them together to get your answer, which is $35.

Find the average rate of change of the function f(x)=(3/-3x-5), on the interval x ∈ [0,3]
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The average rate of change on the given interval is 9/70

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to find the average rate of change of the function on the given interval

We proceed as follows;

on an interval [a,b] , we can find the average rate of change using the formula;

f(b) - f(a)/b-a

From the question;

a = 0

b = 3

f(0) = -3/5

f(3) = -3/14

Substituting the values, we have;

-3/14-(-3/5)/3-0

= 3/5-3/14/3

= (42-15)/70/3

= 27/70/3

= 27/70 * 1/3 = 9/70
