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).

If f(x) = 6x + 3, find −1 ().
lianna [129]

Answer:

f^{-1}(x)=(1/6)x-(1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=6x+3

Find the inverse function f^{-1}(x)

step 1

Let

y=f(x)

y=6x+3

step 2

Exchanges variables, x for y and y for x

x=6y+3

step 3

isolate the variable y

x=6y+3

6y=x-3

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

step 4

Let

f^{-1}(x)=y

f^{-1}(x)=(1/6)x-(1/2)

rodikova [14]

Answer:

81 / 1024

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Wheel is divided into 4:

Hence, probability of winning either 10%, 20%, 30% or 50% = 1/4

Probability of winning 50% discount = 1/4

Probability of not winning 50% discount :

1 - 1/4 = (4 - 1) /4 = 3/4

Hence, probability that 50% is won by 5th customer :

(3/4) * (3/4) * (3/4) * (3/4) * (1/4)

= (3/4)^4 * (1/4)

= (81 /256) *(1/4)

= 81 / 1024
