Answer:

She went on the slide 8 times and on the roller coaster 4 times

Step-by-step explanation:

We convert each statements to a mathematical equation.

Firstly, let's represent the number of times she went on the coaster with R and the number of times on the slide with S. We know quite well she went on 12 rides. Hence the summation of both number of times yield 12.

Mathematically, R + S = 12. ........(i)

Now we also know her total wait time was 3hours. Since an hour equals 60 minutes, her total wait time would equal 180 minutes.

To get a mathematical representation for the wait time, we multiply the number of roller coaster rides by 25 and that of the slides by 10.

Mathematically, 25R + 10S = 180 .......(ii)

Here we now have two equations that we can solve simultaneously.

From equation 1 we can say R = 12 - S. We can then substitute this into equation 2 to yield the following:

25(12 - s) + 10s = 180

300 - 25s + 10s = 180

300 - 15s = 180

15s = 300 - 180

15s = 120

S = 120/15

S = 8

S = 8 , and R = 12 - S = 12 - 8 = 4

In this activity, you will create an equation for a function represented by a verbal description.

alexira [117]

Answer:

1) The initial value of the function is the y-value when the x-value is zero. The number of hours is the x-value and the percentage of battery life left is the y-value. When the number of hours, x, is 0, the percentage of remaining battery life, y, is 100 percent. So, the initial value of the function is 100. The initial value is positive because the percentage of remaining battery life cannot be negative.

2) The rate of change is the rate at which the y-value changes with respect to a change in the x-value. When off the charger, the phone loses its battery life at a constant rate of 5 percent per hour. So, the function’s rate of change is -5. The rate of change is negative because the rate indicates that the percentage of remaining battery life decreases as the number of hours increases.

The school band is ordering health bars to sell for a fundraiser. The company that sells the bars charges $0.40 per bar plus $20

Pepsi [2]

Answer: They can order from 0 to 449 bars, but no more.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The school band is ordering health bars to sell for a fundraiser. The company that sells the bars charges $0.40 per bar plus $20.00 for shipping regardless of the size of the order. The band must spend less than $200.00 on bars for the fundraiser.

The inequality below relates x, the number of bars that could be ordered, with the shipping costs and their spending requirements.

$0.40x+20$

To solve for x, subtract 20 on both sides, we get

$0.40x$

Divide 0.40 on both sides, we get

$x$ ......... → the number of bars that could be ordered, with the shipping costs and their spending requirements must less than 450.

Thus, they can order from 0 to 449 bars, but no more.
