Answer:
if you meant x squared the answer is 3x^2
Step-by-step explanation:
If f(x) is equal to 2x you can substitute x squared for f(x) and that would be x squared+x squared+x squared which is 3x^2
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
<span>The sum of two numbers is 48.
a + b = 48
;
If one third of one number is 5 greater than one sixth of another number,
a = b + 5
multiply both sides by 6, cancel the fractions
2a = b + 30
2a - b = 30
</span><span>use elimination to solve this
a + b = 48
2a - b =30
-------------Addition eliminates b, find a
3a = 78
a = 
a = 26
then
26 + b = 48
b = 48 - 26
b = 22</span>
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = -6
Y-intercept (0, -4)
 
        
             
        
        
        
Let's make,
mechanic #1's rate = x
mechanic #2's rate = y
* Their rate is dollars per hour ($/hr)
mechanic #1 worked for 20 hours (hr × $/hr = $)
20x = money earned by mech#1
and mechanic #2 worked for 5 hours
5y = money earned by mech#2
together they charged a total of $1150. So the amount of money earned by both mechanics.
20x + 5y = 1150
the sum of the two rates was $95 per hour.
x + y = 95
which means
x = 95 - y
plug (95 - y) in for "x" in the other equation to get everything in terms of one variable.
20(95 - y) + 5y = 1150
solve for y
1900 - 20y + 5y = 1150
1900 - 15y = 1150
-15y = 1150 - 1900
-15y = -750
y = -750/-15
y = 50 $/hr
Now use this to solve for x
x + y = 95
x + 50 = 95
x = 95 - 50
x = 45 $/hr 
mech#1 charged 45$/hr
mech #2 charged 50$/hr
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
(a)Food-12%
9b)Transportation-17%
Step-by-step explanation:
In the Year 2000
- Average Household Income (before taxes)=$44,649
- Amount Spent on Food =$5,158
- Amount Spent on Transportation=$7,417
Therefore:
(a)Percentage of the average household income in 2000 was spent on food

(b)Percentage of the average household income in 2000 was spent on transportation
