The right answer is Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the postcards

y be the large envelops

According to given statement;

14x+5y=12 Eqn 1

10x+15y=24.80 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 3;

$3(14x+5y=12)\\42x+15y=36\ \ \ Eqn \ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3;

$(42x+15y)-(10x+15y)=36-24.80\\42x+15y-10x-15y=11.20\\32x=11.20\\$

Dividing both sides by 32

$\frac{32x}{32}=\frac{11.20}{32}\\x=0.35$

Putting x=0.35 in Eqn 1;

$14(0.35)+5y=12\\4.90+5y=12\\5y=12-4.90\\5y=7.10$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{7.10}{5}\\y=1.42$

Therefore, one large envelope costs $1.42

The right answer is Option A.

Which of the relations given by the following sets of ordered pairs is a function?

adell [148]

Functions cannot have the same X value (the first number), but they can have the same Y value (the second number).
<span>A. {(1,2),(2,3),(3,4),(2,1),(1,0)}
B. {(2,−8),(6,4),(−3,9),(2,0),(−5,3)}
C. {(1,−3),(1,−1),(1,1),(1,3),(1,5)}
D. {(−2,5),(7,5),(−4,0),(3,1),(0,−6)}

Choice A. has two repeating X values [(1,2) and (1,0), (2,3) and (2,1)]
Choice B. has one repeating X value [(2, -8) and (2,0)]
Choice C. all has a repeating X value (1)
Choice D doesn't have any repeating X values.

In short, your answer would be choice D [</span><span>{(−2,5),(7,5),(−4,0),(3,1),(0,−6)}] because it does not have any repeating X values.</span>

Katena32 [7]

$\text{A quadratic function:}\ f(x)=ax^2+bx+c\\\\\text{where}\ a\neq0$
$f(x)+-8x^3-16x^2-4x-NOT\\\\f(x)=x^2+2x-5-YES\\\\f(x)=?+1-NOT\\\\f(x)=0x^2-9x+7-NOT$

Jasper has an annual salary of $71000 and his company pays him twice a month. What is the gross income per paycheck that Jasper

Sliva [168]

Answer:

$2,958.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Jasper's annual salary is $71000.

Considering that a year has 12 months and that he gets a paycheck twice each month, the total number of paychecks (P) Jasper gets each year is:

$P = 12*2 = 24$

To define Jasper's gross income per paycheck (I), simply divide his annual salary by the number of paychecks in a year:

$I=\frac{\$ 71,000}{24} \\I=\$ 2,958.33$

Jasper's gross income per paycheck is $2,958.33.
