1. Let S represent the cost of the sofa and C represent the cost of the chair.

If the sofa costs $50 less than three times the cost of the chair, then effectively we can write this as:

S = 3C - 50

If the sofa and chair together cost $650, we can write this as:

S + C = 650

2. Now, we can find out how much the sofa and chair cost by solving the two equations we obtained above for C, and substituting S = 3C - 50 into S + C = 650. Thus, we get:

S + C = 650

if S = 3C - 50, then:

3C - 50 + C = 650

4C - 50 = 650 (Add C and 3C)

4C = 700 (Add 50 to both sides)

C = 175 (Divide both sides by 4)

Thus, the cost of the chair is $175. Now, to find the cost of the sofa we need to simply substitute C = 175 into our first equation, S = 3C - 50:

S = 3(175) - 50

S = 525 - 50

S = 475

Thus, the sofa costs $475.

3. Now that we know that the sofa costs $475 and the chair costs $175, all we need to do is to subtract the cost of the chair from the cost of the sofa to find the difference in price:

475 - 175 = 300

Therefor, the sofa costs $300 more than the chair (answer C).

So you would take 3x1+2 that gives you 5 and you would keep the same denominator and so that would give you 5/3 then do the same to the other side which would give you 5/4 then you would times it and that would give you 2 1/12

9. A line passes through (2, –1) and (8, 4). a. Write an equation for the line in point-slope form. b. Rewrite the equation in s
babunello [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(4+1)/(8-2)= 5/6

y + 1 = 5/6(x - 2)

y + 1 = 5/6x - 5/3

y + 3/3 = 5/6x - 5/3

y = 5/6x - 8/3

6(y = 5/6x - 8/3)

6y = 5x - 16

-5x + 6y = -16

Two angles of a quadrilateral measure 150 degrees and 105 degrees the other two angles are in a ratio of 3:4 what are the measur
iragen [17]

Answer:

First angle is 45 and the second angle is 60

Step-by-step explanation:

150 + 105 = 255

360 - 255 = 105

the ratio is 3:4 I add the ratio so 7

105 / 7 = 15

The first angle with the ratio of 3 is 15 x 3 = 45

The second angle with the ratio of 4 is 4 x 15 = 60

1. MONDAY (5/18): Which of the following functions matches the graph to the right
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

a.) f(x) = -⅙(x+3)²+6

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum value, our vertex, is at point (-3,6).

We can insert this value into the vertex form of a quadratic function and then solve for a as follows...

4.5 = a(0 +3)^2 +6\\4.5=a(9)+6\\-1.5 = 9a \\-.17=a\\a = -1/6

a equals -1/6... We can input this into the original equation we used...

f(x) = -1/6(x+3)^2+6

Good luck on the bellwork ;)
