Sarah runs a day camp in the summer and needs to buy paper towels and soap for the restrooms. She spends $129 on t cases of pape

r towels and s cases of soap. Each case of paper towels is $12 and contains 10 rolls of paper towels. Each case of soap is $15 and contains 12 bottles of soap. Sarah buys 10 cases of supplies altogether.
Part A- Write a system of two equations to represent the cases of supplies Sarah buys. Explain your work.

Part B. How many cases of paper towels did Sarah buy? Show or explain your work.

Part C- Explain why it would not be possible for Sarah to buy exactly 20 bottles of soap.


please answer all parts and show work

Thank you

Let x be the number of cases of paper towels and y be the number of cases of soap. The system of linear equation that would best represent the given is,
                                 x + y = 10
                               12x + 15y = 129
The values of x and y are 7 and 3. 

Sarah both 7 cases of paper towel.

It is not possible for Sarah to buy exactly 20 bottles because first of all the cases contains only 12 bottles and 20 is not divisible by 12.

Three functions are given below: f(x), g(x), and h(x). Explain how to find the axis of symmetry for each function, and rank the
Llana [10]

Answer:

  h(x), g(x), f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis of symmetry of a parabola is the vertical line through its vertex.

__

<h3>f(x)</h3>

The equation is written in vertex form:

  f(x) = a(x -h)² +k . . . . . vertex (h, k), scale factor 'a'

The vertical line through the vertex is x=h.

Your equation is ...

  f(x) = -2(x -4) +2

so (h, k) = (4, 2) and the line of symmetry is x=4.

__

<h3>g(x)</h3>

The given equation can be written in vertex form:

  g(x) = 5x² -10x +7

  g(x) = 5(x² -2x) +7

  g(x) = 5(x² -2x +1) +7 -5 . . . . complete the square

  g(x) = 5(x -1)² +2

so (h, k) = (1, 2) and the line of symmetry is x=1.

__

<h3>h(x)</h3>

Your problem statement tells us ...

  h(x) = -(x +2)² +2

so (h, k) = (-2, 2) and the line of symmetry is x=-2.

The coordinates of the vertex can also be read from the graph: (-2, 2).

__

<h3>order</h3>

The rank of the functions is the order of {-2, 1, 4}, or h(x), g(x), f(x).

2 of the dozen eggs in a cartoon are cracked about what percent of the carton is not cracked
pychu [463]

well, a carton has a dozen, namely 12 or the 100%, two were cracked.

if we know 12 is the 100%, what is 2 off of it in percentage?


\bf \begin{array}{ccll}&#10;amount&\%\\&#10;\cline{1-2}&#10;12&100\\&#10;2&x&#10;\end{array}\implies \cfrac{12}{2}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{2\cdot 100}{12}\implies x=16.\overline{66}

Because of a virus introduced into a bacterial culture, the population of the bacteria decreasedfrom 3000 to 1000 in 50 minutes.
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

208

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Given that;

y= a(1 - b)^t

Where;

wherein y is the final amount, a is the original amount, b is the decay factor, and x is the amount of time that has passed.

To obtain the constant b,

y= ae^-bt

Substituting values;

1000 = 3000 e^-b(50)

1000/3000 = e^b(50)

0.33 = e^b-(50)

ln (0.33) = ln(e^b(-50))

-1.1 = -50b

b= 1.1/50

b= 0.022

After two hours or 120 minutes;

y= 3000(1 - 0.022)^120

y= 207.8661772

y= 208

Two opposite sides of a parallelogram are 3x-8 and 10x+13. Find the measure of all sides
RSB [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the parallelogram theorem

3x-8 = 10x+13

-7x = 21

x = -3

Substitute

3(-3) - 8

-17

10(-3) + 13

-17
