Answer:

x = 29 , b = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

5 - 8 = b

-3 = b

b = -3

156 / 3 = 52

52 / 2 = 26

x + b = 26

26 + 3 = 29

x = 29

A kangaroo hopped 1/3 of the distance to the lake with her baby in her pouch. She hopped the remaining 7040 yards without her ba

Norma-Jean [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

she hopped 10560 MI to the lake because the remaining miles was the 7040 miles without her baby and if you do 7040 (the 2/3s) divided by 2 you would get 3520 which is the 1/3 of the distance to the lake so 7040 miles + 3520 miles equals 10560 miles hopped to the lake. Hope this helped ^_^

If you rent a car for one day and drive it for 100 miles, the cost is $40.00. If you drive it 220 miles, the cost is $46.00.

attashe74 [19]

Now, if x = 300 miles, then

y= 1/20*300 + 35

y = 15 + 35

y = 50, therefore it would cost $50.00 to drive the rental car 300 miles.

For his troops' popcorn fundraiser sale, Mike sold caramel corn for $10, buttered microwave popcorn for $8, and lightly buttered

Bad White [126]

$\bf \begin{cases}
c=\textit{caramel corn}\\
b=\textit{buttered microwave popcorn}\\
p=\textit{lightly buttered popcorn}
\end{cases}$

so... he sold 400 items, that means, whatever those quantities of c,b,p are, they add up to 400, thus

c+b+p = 400

now, the "c" sold for $10
the "b" sold for $8
and the "p" sold for $7

so, the amount of revenue on the "c" is 10 * c, or 10c
the revenue on "b" is 8*b or 8b
and the revenue on "p" is 7*p or 7p

whatever those amounts are, they ended up in $3,272
thus
10c + 8b + 7p = 3,272

now, he sold more lightly buttered, or "p", than just buttered corn or "b"
he actually sold twice as much, so whatever "b" is, "p" is twice that much
or
p = 2b

thus $\bf \begin{cases}
c+b+\boxed{p}=400\\\\
\boxed{p}=2b\qquad thus\\\\
c+b+\boxed{2b}=400\qquad or\\\\
c+3b=400\implies c=\underline{400-3b}\\
--------------\\
10c+8b+7p=3272\qquad or\\\\
10(\underline{400-3b})+8b+7(\boxed{2b})=3272
\end{cases}$

solve for "b", to see how many buttered microwave popcorn Mike sold

how many lightly buttered? well, p = 2b
how many caramel ones? well c = 400 - 3b

An electric can opener is worth 36 dollars when it is new. After each year, it is worth half what it was the previous year. What

Likurg_2 [28]

So the equation is f(x)=36*(.5)^8, since your principal worth is 36 and it depreciates by 1/2 each year, which is 14 cents.
