Answer:

  C.  1.15p + 2.85 = 5.84

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation above is not one you'd start off with to represent this problem. It is an intermediate step in the solution.

You can get there by realizing that the number of pounds of bananas is 3.8-p. Then the cost of the bananas is ...

  banana cost = 0.75·(3.8-p) = 2.85 - 0.75p

Of course, the cost of apples is 1.90p. The total cost is then ...

  apple cost + banana cost = total cost

  1.90p + (2.85 -0.75p) = 5.84

Simplifying, this becomes ...

  1.15p + 2.85 = 5.84 . . . . . . . . . . . . matches selection C

A 5 in x 7 in picture is in a frame of uniform width x. The area of the picture and the frame together is 99 in2. How wide is th
algol13

Answer: B. 2 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the uniform width of the frame.

The original dimensions of the picture is 5 in x 7 in. This means that the new width of the picture together with the frame is (5 + 2x) in and the new length of the picture together with the frame is (7 + 2x) in.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

The area of the picture and the frame together is 99 in2. Therefore,

(5 + 2x)(7 + 2x) = 99

35 + 10x + 14x + 4x² = 99

4x² + 24x + 35 - 99 = 0

4x² + 24x - 64 = 0

Dividing through by 4, it becomes

x² + 6x - 16 = 0

x² + 8x - 2x - 16 = 0

x(x + 8) - 2(x + 8) = 0

x - 2 = 0 or x + 8 = 0

x = 2 or x = - 8

The width cannot be negative. So

x = 2 in

Answer:

C. \sqrt {149}

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of the endpoints of the segment are (4, 4) & (-6, - 3)

By distance formula

Length of segment

= \sqrt {(4+3)^2 +(4+6)^2}

= \sqrt {(7)^2 +(10)^2}

= \sqrt {49 +100}

= \sqrt {149}

never [62]

Answer:

  1. Take two points
  2. 64-18/97-29=23/34
  3. Now plug that into the equation to find the equation
  4. 97=23/34(29) +b
  5. B is the y intercept
  6. B= 77.38
  7. Hence the equation is y= 23/34(x) + 77.38
