Answer:

Peanuts cost $2 a bag

Almonds cost $2.50 a bag

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, write a system of equations using the information given.

  • "a small case contains 10 bags of almonds and 25 bags of peanuts for $75" translates to 10a+25p=75
  • "a large case comtains 40 bags of almonds and 60 bags of peanuts for $220" translates to 40a+60p=220

Solve by stacking the equations and performing elimination. To eliminate a variable, the coefficients must be the same. To make this so, we will multiply 10a+25p=75 by 4 to become 40a+100p=300. Now stack the equations and subtract:

40a+100p=300

40a+60p=220

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

0a + 40p=80

p=2 means peanuts cost $2 a bag.

Substitute p=2 into one equation to find a.

10a+25(2)=75

10a+50=75

10a=25

a=2.5 means almonds cost $2.50 a bag.

Taletha is preparing for an exam in Algebra II. She knows she will be expected to determine if two functions are inverses of eac
seropon [69]

Answer:

f ○ g(x) = x and g ○ f(x) = x  is the correct composition

Step-by-step explanation:

INVERSE FUNCTIONS: Two functions are said to be inverse of each other if for every y = f(x), there exists a function g(x),

such that x = f^{-1} (y) =  g(y)

Now, here if we need to show tha two functions f(x) and g(x) are inverse functions of each other , then show that for every x:

1. f  o g(x)   =   f(g(x))= x

2. g o f(x)  =  g(f(x))   = x

If any two functions satisfy these two conditions, then they are inverse of each other.

I think it’s $3.55
I think this because if u subtract 2.45- 45% = 1.10 sooo u will have to add $1.10 to 2.25 and that will add up the 45% that Walmart is paying with the original price.

Why is - t - 3 written as 3 - t? Is it wrong if it is left as -t -3?
Eddi Din [679]

-t-3 and 3-t are not the same since t-3 would result in a negative answer since both -t and -3 are negative. While in t-3 t is positive and -3 is negative. it is wrong if its left as t-3 since -t-3=3-t is false.
