When we take the absolute value of a number, we always end up with a positive number (or zero). Whether the input was positive or negative (or zero), the output is always positive (or zero). For instance, | 3 | = 3, and | –3 | = 3 also.

What is the solution of y= -5x + 1 and y= 3x - 2

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

x=3/8, y=-7/8. (3/8, -7/8).

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-5x+1

y=3x-2

----------

-5x+1=3x-2

-5x-3x+1=-2

-8x+1=-2

-8x=-2-1

-8x=-3

8x=3

x=3/8

y=3(3/8)-2=9/8-2=9/8-16/8=-7/8

Your friends shuffle the cards and then deal them. Select probability of getting a red card. Select probability of getting a spa

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

1/2 ; 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of cards in a deck = 52

Number of red cards = 26

Number of spades = 13

Probability of event A :

P(A) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P( red card) = number of red cards / total cards in deck

P(red card) = 26 / 52 = 1/2

P(spade) = number of spades / total cards in deck

P(red card) = 13 / 52 = 1 / 4

Match the real-world problem to its constant of proportionality.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

a. $18.36 for 3 pizzas : k = 6.12

b. $4.17 for 3 pounds of bananas . k = 1.39

c. $16.48 for 4 pounds of potatoes . k = 4.12

d. 2 cups of flour to make 24 cookie . k = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

PROPORTIONALITY:

Two quantities x and y are said to proportional to each other

if for x ∝ y , x = y k.

Here, k is called the PROPORTIONALITY CONSTANT.

⇒ $x \propto y \implies k = \frac{x}{y}$

Now, for the given quantities:

a. $18.36 for 3 pizzas [box]

Here, $k = \frac{x}{y} = \frac{18.36}{3} = 6.12$

So, the proportionality constant is 6.12.

b. $4.17 for 3 pounds of bananas [box]

Here, $k = \frac{x}{y} = \frac{4.17}{3} = 1.39$

So, the proportionality constant is 1.39.

c. $16.48 for 4 pounds of potatoes [box]

Here, $k = \frac{x}{y} = \frac{16.48}{4} = 4.12$

So, the proportionality constant is 4.12.

d. 2 cups of flour to make 24 cookies

Here, $k = \frac{x}{y} = \frac{24}{2} = 12$

So, the proportionality constant is 12.

ALGEBRA 1 HELP!! Andrea buys 4 bags of granola and 3 bags of dried fruit. She spends $51.50. Carter buys 2 bags of granola and 4

timurjin [86]

Answer:

Granola is $6.95/bag and Dried Fruit is $7.90/bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let G and F stand for the cost of 1 bag Granola and 1 bag dried Fruit.

We learn that Andrea's total was $51.50. Her purchase can be written as the sum of the cost of 4 bags granola (4G) and 3 bags fruit (3F):

4G + 3F = $51.50

We can do the same for Carter:

2G + 4F = $45.50

We have two equations and two unknowns, so we should be able to solve for both unknowns. To do this, we need to find a way to eliminate one of the unknows in a single equation. Let's rearrange Carter's equation to isolate G on one side:

2G + 4F = $45.50

2G = $45.50 - 4F

G = ($45.50 - 4F)/2

Now use this expression for G in Andrea's equation:

4G + 3F = $51.50

4(($45.50 - 4F)/2) + 3F = $51.50

2($45.50 - 4F) + 3F = $51.50

($91.00 - 8F) + 3F = $51.50

-5F = - $39.5

F = $7.90 One bag of dried fruit is $7.90.

Now use this value for F in either equation for find G:

2G = $45.50 - 4F

2G = $45.50 - 4($7.90)

2G = $13.90

G = $6.95 One bag of granola is $6.95

---------------

Check to see if these values work:

Andrea:

4G + 3F = $51.50 :

4($6.95) + 3($7.90) = $51.50 ?

$51.50 = $51.50 YES

Carter:

2G + 4F = $45.50

2($6.95) + 4($7.90) = $45.50 ?

$45.50 = $45.50 YES
