Answer:176 psychology textbooks and 98 Biology textbooks were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of psychology textbooks that were sold.

Let y represent the number of biology textbooks that were sold.

textbook store sold a combined total of 274 psychology and biology textbooks in a week. This means that

x + y = 274 - - - - - - - - - - -1

The number of psychology textbooks sold was 78 more than the number of biology textbooks sold. This means that

x = y + 78

Substituting x = y + 78 into equation 1, it becomes

y + 78 + y = 274

2y = 274 - 78

2y = 196

y = 98

x = y + 78 = 98 + 78

x = 176

Answer:psychology books sold=173

Biology books sold=95

Step-by-step explanation:

Psychology textbooks sold=p

Biology textbooks sold=b

P+b=274

P-78=b

P+P-78=274

2P-78=274

2P=274+78

2P=352

P=352/2

P=173

Substance P=173 in P-78=b

173-78=b

95=b b=95

Question 3. Y=(1/5)^xSketch the graph of each of the exponential functions and label three points on each graph.
STatiana [176]

Given exponential function:

y\text{ = (}\frac{1}{5})^x

Let us obtain three points including the y-intercept so that we can plot the function y = f(x)

When x =0:

\begin{gathered} y\text{ = (}\frac{1}{5})^0 \\ =\text{ 1} \end{gathered}

when x =1:

\begin{gathered} y\text{ = (}\frac{1}{5})^1 \\ =\text{ }\frac{1}{5} \end{gathered}

when x =2:

\begin{gathered} y\text{ = (}\frac{1}{5})^2 \\ =\text{ }\frac{1}{25} \end{gathered}

We have the points : (0, 1), (1, 1/5), and (2, 1/25)

Using these points, let us provide a sketch of the plot of y =f(x). We have the plot as shown below:

First note that x\ge0; otherwise \sqrt{2x} is undefined as long as we're only looking for real solutions.

We can write

\sqrt{2x}+12=x+8
\sqrt{2x}=x-4
2x=(x-4)^2
2x=x^2-8x+16
x^2-10x+16=0
(x-8)(x-2)=0

\implies x=8,x=2

I have a party sub that 3/4 yard long. I will cut it into smaller sandwiches that are 1/12 yard long. how many smaller sandwiche
Lena [83]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

the question is practically "how many 1/12 sandwiches fit inside a 3/4 sandwich"

this calls for division

3/4 / 1/12

"flip & switch"

3/4 * 12/1

36/4

9

you will have 9 small sandwiches

Please answer this simple question !!!
Vlada [557]
A rational number is a number that can be written in form a/b where a and b are integers and b is not eual to 0

simplify eacy
\sqrt{8}=2\sqrt{2}
\sqrt{16}=4
we get

\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}+4
\sqrt{2} is irrational
since we can't write \sqrt{2} as a rational number, the entire phrase is irrational

anwer is irrational
