Given:
8000 homes
color flyers : $0.08 each
black and white flyers : $0.05 each
budget of $500

c + b = 8,000
0.08c + 0.05b = 500

c = 8,000 - b
0.08(8,000 - b) + 0.05b = 500
640 - 0.08b + 0.05b = 500
-0.03b = 500 - 640
-0.03b = -140
b = -140 / -0.03
b = 4,667 black and white flyers

c = 8,000 - b
c = 8,000 - 4,667
c = 3,333 colored flyers

0.08(c) + 0.05(b) = 500
0.08(3,333) + 0.05(4,667) = 500
266.64 + 233.35 = 500
499.99 = 500
500 = 500

McKenna and Lara work for their uncle Eddie who repairs skateboards and bicycles. Uncle Eddie is leaving for a vacation to the A
natali 33 [55]

Let x be a number of skateboards and y be the number of bicycles in Eddie's repair shop.

Eddie asks the girls to order 54 new wheels for 21 skateboards and bicycles, then

x+y=21.

One scateboard has 4 wheels, then x scateboards have 4x wheels, one bicycle has 2 wheels, then y bicycles have 2y wheels. In total there should be ordered 54 wheels, so

4x+2y=54.

Solve the system of equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}x+y=21\\4x+2y=54.\end{array}\right.

From the first equation x=21-y. Substitute it into the second equation:

4(21-y)+2y=54,\\ \\84-4y+2y=54,\\ \\-2y=54-84,\\ \\-2y=-30,\\ \\2y=30,\\ \\y=15.

Then

x=21-15=6.

Answer: 6 scateboards and 15 bicycles.

Which graft represent -3x+5y=-15
azamat

The graph of the function -3x+5y=-15 is a linear function we can draw it by finding the values of y for every value of x.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.

We have a function:

-3x + 5y = -15

The above function shows a linear function we can write it as:

5y = 3x - 15

y = (3x - 15)/5

If x = 0, y = -3

x = 1, y = -2.4

x = 2, y = -1.8

x = -1, y = -3.6

x = -2, y = -4.2

Thus, the graph of the function -3x+5y=-15 is a linear function we can draw it by finding the values of y for every value of x.

Answer:

  B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the triangle congruence statements, the segment and angle congruence statements must refer to corresponding vertices. Corresponding vertices are listed in the same order in the triangle congruence statement.

The one FALSE statement in the bunch is ...

  \overline{OD}\cong\overline{AL}

__

The true statements for these segments would be ...

  \overline{OD}\cong\overline{JL}\\\\\overline{CD}\cong\overline{AL}

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

cube means 3D  square.. right?

so for volume  we want the height x width x length.. make sense?

since each edge is 9'  

the volume is 9^{3} = 729  ft^{3}
