So the ornament is $16.00-3/4% off=15.88
-3/4%=0.12 So, $16.00-0.12=15.88
The ornament costs $15.88.
Answer:
C. -21 is your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for t. Isolate the variable t in the first equation, then use the number gotten to solve the second equation.
3t - 7 = 5t
First, subtract 3t from both sides
3t (-3t) - 7 = 5t (-3t)
-7 = 5t - 3t
-7 = 2t
Isolate the variable (t). Divide 2 from both sides
(-7)/2 = (2t)/2
t = -7/2
t = -3.5
Plug in -3.5 for t in the second equation
6(t) =
6(-3.5) =
6(-3.5) = -21
C. -21 is your answer

The generic equation for a linear function can be expressed in the slope intercept form f(x) = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. For this problem we can first find the equation of the line. Then we substitute x = 7 to get the f(x) value, which is n at the point x = 7.
To find the equation of the linear function we first find the slope. Slope is defined as the change in f(x) divided by the change in x. As we are given a linear function, the slope at every point is the same. We can pick any two points known to find the slope.
Let's pick (3, 7) and (9, 16). The slope m is m = (16-7)/(9-3) = 9/6 = 3/2.
Now that we have the slope, we can plug in the slope and one of the points to find b. Let's use the point (3, 7).
f(x) = mx + b
7 = (1/2)(3) + b
b = 11/2
Now we can write the equation
f(x) = (1/2)x + 11/2
Plugging in x = 7 we find that f(7) = 9. n = 9
