Solve the problem by multiplying first. A clothing store is having a sale on shirts and jeans. Four shirts and two pairs of jean

s cost $64. Five shirts and three pairs of jeans cost $87. The system of equations models this situation, where s is the cost of a shirt and j is the cost of a pair of jeans. How much does one shirt and one pair of jeans cost? 4s + 2j = 64 5s + 3j = 87

We will solve this by suing simultaneous equations,

⇒ 5s + 3j = 87

    4s + 2j = 64

Multiply the first equation with 4 and the second one with 5, this is to get one of the values equal so that we can cancel them out,

⇒ (5s + 3j = 87) × 4

    (4s + 2j = 64) × 5

∴ ⇒ 20s + 12j = 348

       20s + 10j = 320

Subtract both the equations. This is how your result (after subtraction) should look like,

  ⇒ 2j = 28

∴ ⇒ j = $14

Now replace the value of 'j' in one of the original equations,

⇒ 4s + 2(14) = 64

⇒ 4s + 28 = 64

⇒ 4s = 64 - 28

⇒ 4s = 36

∴ ⇒ s = $9

Therefore, one pair of jeans cost $14 and a shirt costs $9

Hope you understood! Feel free to ask me if you didn't understand a step.

Coefficient of b in expansion of (3+b)^4
Margarita [4]
Are you sure you want ONLY the coefficient of b?  If you expand this, you will have b in 3 of 4 terms.

According to Pascal's Triangle, the coefficients of (a+b)^4 are as follows:

                             1
                        1    2    1
                   1      3    3     1
              1       4     6     4     1

So (a+b)^4 would be 1a^4 + 4a^3b + 6a^2b^2 + 4ab^3 + b^4

Here, you want (3 + b)^4.  Here's what that looks like:

3^4 + 4[3^3*b] + 6[3^2*b^2] + 4[3*b^3] + 1[b^4]

Which coeff did you want?

X+8>= 18
therefore, the circle has to be on ten, (solid) and an arrow pointing to the right, 
10+8>=18 which is true.

-7+x>= -8
the circle is going to be on -1, (solid) and pointing to the right.  
-7 +-1 (-8) >=-8 which is true, then -7 +0>= -8 which is true
n-2<=4 so, the answer is a dot (solid) on 6 pointing to the left 
6-2 (4) <=4 then 5-2 (3) <= 4 which both are true

-18+n<-7
so this answer is going to be on 10, and it will be a hollow dot, pointing to the left
-18+10 (-8) <-7 which is true
n-4>=13
so, this has to be greater than or equal to 13.
n must be greater than or equal to 17 (add 4 to both sides) so the dot (solid) is going to be on 17 and pointing to the right.

NOTICE: I had a different explanation for number 9, which is how I figured each one out.
Hope this helped! Sorry it took so long!

Tamara was asked to write an example of a linear functional relationship. She wrote this example:
Llana [10]

Answer:

Tamara's example is in fact an example that represents a linear functional relationship.

  • This is because the cost of baby-sitting is linearly related to the amount of hours the nany spend with the child: the more hours the nany spends with the child, the higher the cost of baby-sitting, and this relation is constant: for every extra hour the cost increases at a constant rate of $6.5.
  • If we want to represent the total cost of baby-sitting in a graph, taking the variable "y" as the total cost of baby-sitting and the variable "x" as the amount of hours the nany remains with the baby, y=5+6.5x (see the graph attached).
  • The relation is linear because the cost increases proportionally with the amount of hours ($6.5 per hour).
  • See table attached, were you can see the increses in total cost of baby sitting (y) when the amount of hours (x) increases.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (−1,−3) and has a slope of 3?
Tanya [424]

Answer:

y= 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is just read. It is 3. It is the value of m in the general equation.

y = mx + b

y = 3x + b

To find b, use (-1,-3)

x = -1

y = -3                  Substitute into the general equation

-3 = 3(-1) + b       Simplify the right side

-3 = -3 + b          Subtract -3 from both sides

b = 0

Answer: y = 3x
