Answer:

Thus the number of books at $2 is 9 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of the book purchased = 15 books

Total amount spend to buy the books = $34

The prices of books are $2 and $3.

Let the number of books purchased at price  $2 = x

Let the number of books purchased at price  $3 = y

Now we have to find the number of books that is bought at $2.

Below are the equations.

x + y = 15

2x + 3y = 34

Now solve for the x,  

x + y = 15

y = 15 – x

Now insert it in the 2x + 3y = 34

2x + 3(15-x) = 34

2x + 45 – 3x = 34

-x = 34 – 45

x = 9

Thus the number of books at $2 is 9 books.

2. Starting at a fixed time, each car entering an intersection is observed to see whether it turns left (L), right (R), or goes
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Natural numbers (integers greater than zero)

X = 3,  5,  4,  4,  3

Step-by-step explanation:

The least number of cars that can be observed in this experiment is 1, if the first car turns left. On the other hand, the experiment could go on forever if no car ever turns left, thus the highest number of cars approaches infinite.

The possible values of X are integers greater than zero, which are known as the Natural numbers.

If X = number of cars observed, simply count the number of letters in each outcome for the value of X:

Outcome = RRL, AARRL, AARL, RRAL, ARL

            X = 3,  5,  4,  4,  3

What the answer to this question
Sonja [21]

To solve this, you need to isolate/get the variable "u" by itself in the inequality:            u = unknown number

2u - 3 < 1       Add 3 on both sides

2u - 3 + 3 < 1 + 3

2u < 4        Divide 2 on both sides to get "u" by itself

u < 2       (u is any number less than 2)

When the inequality sign is >/< (greater than/less than), the dot/endpoint is an open/unfilled circle.

When the inequality sign is ≥/≤ (greater than or equal to/less than or equal to), the dot is a closed/filled circle.

u < 2        

Start making a ray by placing an open circle on 2(click on the dot/endpoint to change it to be open if it isn't already), then have the ray point left where the numbers would be decreasing because "u" is any number less than 2. If you can place the end of the ray at the end of the number line.

If a polynomial function f(x) has roots 3+
irinina [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3+√5 is a root.

so 3-√5 is also a root

or (x-(3-√5)) is also a factor of f(x)

What is the slope or change of 6(x-y) =5(x+y)
scoundrel [369]
6x - 6y = 5x + 5y ; / - 6x
We solve for y ;
-6y = -x + 5y ;  / -5y
-y = -x ;  / *(-1) ;
y = 1*x ;
The slope is 1.
