Gabriella and Stephanie each improved their yards by planting grass sod and ornamental grass. They bought their supplies from th

e same store. Gabriella spent $172 on 14 ft2 of grass sod and 2 bunches of ornamental grass. Stephanie spent $158 on 7 ft2 of grass sod and 9 bunches of ornamental grass. Find the cost of one ft2 of grass sod and the cost of one bunch of ornamental grass.

14x + 2y = $172
7x + 9y = $158 (x= grass sod y= ornamental grass)

14x + 2y= 172
14x + 18y= 316 (Multiply Equation 2 by 2 to eliminate x)
when you subtract both equations you get -16y= -144 therefore y=9
Final step: Plug in 14x + 2(9) = 172       14x=154      x=11
1 sq ft of grass sod costs $11 and one bunch of ornamental grass costs $9

Find the equation of the line in gradient form that passes through the points (3,0) and (-2,4)
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

y = (-4/5)x + 12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = (4-0)/(-2-3) = 4/-5 = -4/5

y = (-4/5)x + c

When x = 3, y = 0

0 = (-4/5)(3) + c

c = 12/5

y = (-4/5)x + 12/5

5y = -x + 12

5y + x = 12

Rewrite x2 − 6x + 7 = 0 in the form (x − a)2 = b, where a and b are integers, to determine the a and b values.
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Therefore values of a and b are

a=3\ and\ b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite x^{2}-6x+7=0 in the form

(x-a)^{2}=b

where a and b are integers,

To Find:

a = ?

b = ?

Solution:

x^{2}-6x+7=0 ..............Given

Which can be written as

x^{2}-6x=-7

(\frac{1}{2} coefficient\ of\ x)^{2}=(\frac{1}{2}\times -6)^{2}=9

Adding half coefficient of X square on both the side we get

x^{2}-6x+9=-7+9=2 ...................( 1 )

By identity we have (A - B)² =A² - 2AB + B²

Therefore,

x^{2}-6x+9=x^{2}-2\times 3\times x+3^{2}=(x-3)^{2}

Substituting in equation 1 we get

(x-3)^{2}=2

Which is in the form of

(x-a)^{2}=b

On comparing we get

a = 3 and b = 2

Therefore values of a and b are

a=3\ and\ b = 2
