Answer:

Variables are x, y, z

System of equations are;

2x + z = 49

31.49x + 9.75z = 625.61

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent uniforms, y represent volleyball, z represent a pair of knee pads.

We are told he bought 6 more balls than uniforms. Thus; y = x + 6

Since he is buying 55 items, thus equation that represents total number of items bought is;

x + y + z = 55

Since y = x + 6, then;

x + x + 6 + z = 55

2x + z = 49

We are told he purchased uniforms for $18.5 each, volleyball for $12.99 dollar each, knee pads for $9.75 dollar for each pair

Since he has a budget of $703.55.

Thus, equation that represents budget and amount for each item is;

18.5x + 12.99(x + 6) + 9.75z = 703.55

18.5x + 12.99x + 77.94 + 9.75z = 703.55

31.49x + 9.75z = 703.55 - 77.94

31.49x + 9.75z = 625.61

Find the solutions to the system; y=x^2-3x-1 and y=8x-1
PSYCHO15rus [73]

{x}^{2}  - 3x - 1 = 8x - 1 \\  {x}^{2} - 11x = 0 \\ x(x - 11) \\ x = 0 \: or \: x = 11

When x = 0,
y = 8x - 1 \\ y = 0 - 1 \\ y =  - 1

When x = 11
y  = 8(11) - 1 \\ y = 87
x = 0, y = - 1
x = 11, y = 87

Answer is B.

When all the variables cancel out in an equation, how do you know if there are no solutions or infinite solutions?
Ivahew [28]
If a number equals the same number, there are infinite solutions
Example: 5=5, which is true, so there are infinite solutions
If a number equals a different number, there are no solutions
Example: 5=2, which isn’t true

Which values of a, b, and c represent the answer in simplest form?<br> 9/11 divided by 5/11 = a b/c
ozzi

Answer:

a=1, b=9 and c= 5

Step-by-step explanation:

9/11 divided by 5/11

= 9/11 * 11/5

11 gets cancelled

=9/5

it can also be written as 1* 9/5

Hence here a=1, b=9 and c= 5

What is the equation of a parabola with (-1,-3) as its focus and y=1 as its directrix?
Olegator [25]
Hmm, y=1 is directix
means it opens up or down
we will be using
(x-h)²=4p(y-k) where (h,k) is vertex and p is the distnace from focus to vertex and from vertex to direcitx
focus is (-1,-3)
find distance between y values because directix is a y value
midpoint is the vertex
from -3 to 1 is 2 units
since focus is below directix, it opens down, and p is negative
it is 2 units above focus
so at (-1,-1)
and p=-2

(x-(-1))²=4(-2)(y-(-1))
(x+1)²=-8(y+1) is da equation
