Answer: c(x) = $50*x + $24
Step-by-step explanation:
First, this situation can be modeled with a linear equation like:
c(x) = s*x + b
where c is the cost, s is the slope, x is the number of cubic yards of mulch bought, and b is the y-intercept ( a constant that no depends on the number x)
Then we know that:
The company charges $50 per cubic yard, so the slope is $50
A delivery charge of $24, this delivery charge does not depend on x, so this is the y-intercept.
Then our equation is:
c(x) = $50*x + $24
This is:
"The cost of buying x cubic yards of mulch"
X>43/3
Or X>29/3
Depending if you mean (7-2)/3 or 7-(2/3)
Since 7 pages could be in 5 min.
So time required by 1 page 5/7 min.
So time required by 175 pages =175×5/7=125 min.
= 2 hours and 5minutes
Answer:
see graph
Step-by-step explanation:
to find points on the graph, enter in x values and find y.
3|-4|+9 = 21 (-4, 21)
3|2|+9 = 15 (2, 15
Answer:
Billie's age = x = 17 years
Tony's age = y = 31 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Billie's age = x
Tony's age = y
Twice Billie’s age decreased by 3 is Tony’s age.
y = 2x - 3..... Equation 1
Tony is fourteen years older than Billie.
x = y - 14
We substitute y - 14 for x in Equation 1
y = 2x - 3..... Equation 1
y = 2(y - 14) - 3
y = 2y - 28 - 3
y - 2y = -28 - 3
-y = -31
y = 31 years
Solving for x
x = y - 14
x = 31 - 14
x = 17 years.
Therefore:
Billie's age = x = 17 years
Tony's age = y = 31 years
