To solve this, we’ll first need to set it as a system of equations.

First, let’s let
x = No. of $32 books purchased.
y = No. of $44 books purchased.

We know that 54 books were sold in total and they the total cost of the books sold were 1968. Using this information we can come up with two equations.

x + y = 54
32x + 44y = 1968

We will solve this system by the substitution method. Solve the first equation for y.

y = -x + 54

Substitute this for y in your second equation.

32x + 44(-x + 54) = 1968

Distribute and add like terms.

-12x + 2376 = 1968

Solve for x.

x = 34.

Your answer should be: 34 $32 books were purchased.

Ethan Planted a tree that was 1.85 meters tall. Several years later, the tree is 5.30 meters tall. Which equation can be used to
Sergeu [11.5K]
Answer: B. 1.85 + x = 5.30

Explanation:

The starting height of the tree was 1.85 meters. To find the number of meters the tree grew, you would subtract the current height from the previous height.
5.30-1.85=x. This equation is the same as 1.85 + x = 5.30 if you switch the 5.30 and x.

Use the graph below to answer the question that follows:
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

  D)  Amplitude: 2; period: π; midline: y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is much more easily answered from the graph than from the description of the graph.

The amplitude is the extent of the peak above the midline (2), or half the peak-to-peak value (4/2=2). The midline is the line halfway between the peaks (1). The period is the horizontal distance between peaks of the same polarity (π).

Triangle ABC underwent a sequence of transformations to give triangle A′B′C′. Which transformations could not have taken place?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

C. a rotation 180° clockwise about the origin followed by a reflection across the line y = x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the coordinate of A in triangle ABC is A(x, y)

A) If there is a reflection across line y = x, the new coordinate is at A'(y, x).

If a reflection across the line y = -x is then followed, the new coordinate is at A"(-x, -y)

B) If there is a reflection across line x axis, the new coordinate is at A'(x, -y).

If a reflection across the line y axis is then done, the new coordinate is at

A"(-x, -y)

C) If there is a rotation 180° clockwise about the origin, the new coordinate is at A'(-x, -y).

If a reflection across the line y = x is then followed, the new coordinate is at A"(-y, -x)

D) B) If there is a reflection across line y axis, the new coordinate is at A'(-x, y).

If a reflection across the line x axis is then done, the new coordinate is at

A"(-x, -y)

Since only option C has a different result from the remaining options, hence option C would not five triangle A'B'C'
