Answer:

The cost of each notebook is $3 and the cost of each thumb drive is $14.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question we will attribute variables to the notebook and thumb drive. The price of a notebook we will call "x" and the price of a thumb drive will be "y". We now can create equations that represents the total amount spent by each person on these items. To do that we need to take the amount of each item that was bought and multiply it by it's price.

For Troy:

4*x + 6*y = 96

For Lisa:

2*x + 4*y = 62

We now have a system of equations and we can solve them by isolate one of he variables in one of the equations and using that value on the other. Using the second equation we have:

2*x + 4*y = 62

4*y = 62 - 2*x

y = 15.5 - 0.5*x

Using this expression on the first equation:

4*x + 6*(15.5 - 0.5*x) = 96

4*x + 93 - 3*x = 96

x = 96 - 93 = 3

We can now find the value of y:

y = 15.5 - 0.5*(3) = 14

The cost of each notebook is $3 and the cost of each thumb drive is $14.

Write an inequality for the graph below
andrezito [222]

Answer:

y > -1/4x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the equation of the line itself, which is y = -1/4x + 4, then determine if graph shades above the line or below the line. If it shades above which is true in this case, it will be greater than. If it shades below which does not occur in this case, it will be less than. Because the line is dashed and not solid, it will just be greater than or less than.

Therefore y = -1/4x + 4 → y > -1/4x + 4 [Shades above the line, line is dashed].

Solve for y plzzz !!​
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

y=10

Step-by-step explanation:

8(7-y) =-24

WE APPLY DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY:

8*7 -8*y =-24

56 -8y=-24

56+24=8y

80 = 8y

y=80/8

y=10

What are the solutions to the equation (2x - 5) (3x - 1) = 0
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

x = 5/2 & x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Create two equations and solve

1) 2x-5 = 0 & 2) 3x-1 = 0

1) 2x = 5

x = 5/2

2) 3x = 1

x = 1/3

You create two equations as you want the left hand side (LHS) to equal 0 (RHS), thus if one of the brackets becomes 0 it will result in the whole LHS beocming 0 as the brackets are being multiplied (anything multiplied by 0 = 0)

At the movie theatre, child admission is 6.30 and adult admission is 9.50 . On Sunday, four times as many adult tickets as child
Lady_Fox [76]

According to the characteristics of <em>ticket</em> sales and the resulting system of linear equations we find that 122 children bought each one a ticket on Sunday.

<h3>How many children went to the movie theatre?</h3>

In this question we have a <em>word</em> problem, whose information must be translated into <em>algebraic</em> expressions to find a solution. Let be x and y the number of children and adults that went to the movie theatre, respectively.

We need two <em>linear</em> equations, one for the number of people assisting to the theatre and another for the total sales:

x - 4 · y = 0     (1)

6.30 · x + 9.50 · y = 1063.20     (2)

By algebraic procedures the solution to this system is: x = 122.559, y = 30.639. Since the number of tickets sold are integers, then we truncate each result: x = 122, y = 30.

According to the characteristics of <em>ticket</em> sales and the resulting system of linear equations we find that 122 children bought each one a ticket on Sunday.
