Find the value of the variable.

We solve an equation for a specific variable by using inverse operations to undo what is done to the variable. The resulting function is evaluated by substituting the given value for the variable.

__

We are given the equation ...

6x -3y = 2

Solving for y, we get ...

6x -2 = 3y . . . . . add 3y-2 to both sides

2x -2/3 = y . . . . . divide by 3

f(x) = 2x -2/3 . . . . write using functional notation

__

To find f(3), we use x=3 in the function.

f(3) = 2(3) -2/3 = 6 -2/3

f(3) = 5 1/3

The junior and senior students at Mathville High School are going to present an exciting musical entitled, "Math, What is it Goo

xeze [42]

Some parts are missing in the queston. Find attached the picture with the complete question

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{161}}$

Explanation:

Let's put the information in a table step-by step.

(number of remaining students)

Juniors Seniors

Condition

Initially J S

15 seniors left S - 15

Twice juniors as seniors 2(S - 15)

3/4 of the juniors left 1/4×2(S - 15)
1/3 of seniors left 2/3×(S - 15)

At the end, there were 8 more seniors than juniors:

2/3×(S - 15) - 1/4×2(S - 15) = 8

Now you have obtained one equation, which you can solve to find S, the number of senior students, and then the number of junior students.

Solve the equation:

$2/3\times (S - 15) - 1/4\times 2(S - 15) = 8$

Mutilply all by 12:

$8(S - 15)-6(S - 15)=96$

Distribution property:

$8S-120-6S-90=96$

Addtion property of equalities:

$8S-6S=96+120+90$

Add like terms:

$2S=306$

Division property of equalities:

$S=306/2=153$

That is the number of senior students that came out to the information meeting, but the number of students remaining to perform in the school musical is (from the table above):

$2/3\times (S-15)+1/4\times 2(S-15)$

Just substitute S with 153 fo find the number of students that remained to perfom in the musical:

$2/3\times (153-15)+1/4\times 2(153-15)\\ \\ 2/3(138)+1/2(138)$

$161$

the table shows the cost of the daycare for Lucy's dog this week her dog went 3 full days of day care and 2 half days of day car

drek231 [11]

An expression for the total cost of the daycare for Lucy's dog this week is T = 3F + 2H and the total cost is equal to $114.

<h3>How to write an expression for the total cost?</h3>

In this exercise, you're required to write an expression for the total cost of the daycare for Lucy's dog this week. Thus, we would assign a variable to the cost for full-day and half-day day care as follows:

Let the cost for full-day be F.

Let the cost for half-day be H.

Let total cost be T.

Thus, the total cost of the daycare is given by:

T = 3F + 2H

Evaluating the expression, we have:

T = 3(28) + 2(15)

T = 84 + 30

T = $114.
