Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using any method, and fill in the blanks. The volleyball team

and the wrestling team at Newberry High School are having a joint car wash today, and they are splitting the revenues. The volleyball team gets $4 per car. In addition, they have already brought in $24 from past fundraisers. The wrestling team has raised $84 in the past, and they are making $1 per car today. After washing a certain number of cars together, each team will have raised the same amount in total. What will that total be? How many cars will that take?

Answer: After washing 20 cars together, each team will have raised the same amount in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cars that each each teams will wash for them to raise the same amount in total.

The volleyball team gets $4 per car. In addition, they have already brought in $24 from past fundraisers. This means that the total amount raised by the volleyball team after washing x cars would be

4x + 24

The wrestling team has raised $84 in the past, and they are making $1 per car today. This means that the total amount raised by the wrestling team after washing x cars would be

x + 84

For both amounts to be equal, the number of cars would be

4x + 24 = x + 84

4x - x = 84 - 24

3x = 60

x = 60/3

x = 20

image Alan, Benton, Claire, and Dita divided the cost of throwing a party as shown in the circle graph above. If Dita spent $ 12
sdas [7]

Let total amount spent =x

Dita spent 35 % of total amount.

35% of x = 0.35x

So amount spent by Dita = 0.35x

% of money spent by Benton = 20 % of x = 0.2x

We are given that Benton spent $12 more than Claire,

so making equation we have ,

Money spent by Dita = Money spent by Claire +12

0.35x =0.2x +12

0.35x -0.2x = 12

0.5x =12

x=80

So total amount spent was $80.

Money spent by Benton = 0.2x = 0.2 * 80= $16

So amount spent by Benton is $16.

Can someone check if this is right or did I solve it wrong?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

f(3x) - 2g(x+1) = 12x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

You've got f[g(x)] and g[f(x)] correct

However, f(3x) means substitute 3x for x in f(x):

f(3x) = 2(3x) - 3

⇒ f(3x) = 6x - 3

2g(x+1) = 2[4 - 3(x + 1)]

⇒ 2g(x+1) = 2[4 - 3x -3]

⇒ 2g(x+1) = 2[1 - 3x]

⇒ 2g(x+1) = 2 - 6x

f(3x) - 2g(x+1) = (6x - 3) - (2 - 6x)

⇒ f(3x) - 2g(x+1) = 12x - 5

The center of a circle is located at (2, 3) and has a radius of 6 units. Which equation represents this circle?
Helen [10]

By using the general equation for a circle, we will see that the correct option is:

(x - 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 36

<h3>How to find the equation for a circle?</h3>

The general equation for a circle centered at the point (a, b) of radius R is given by:

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = R^2

In this case, the center is (2, 3) and the radius is R = 6 units, replacing that in the above equation we get:

(x - 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 6^2

(x - 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 36

So the correct option is B.
