Given:
x = beginning number of newspapers
24 = sold in the morning
(x - 24) * 2/7 = sold in the afternoon
x * 1/2 = remaining newspapers

5/7 of the remaining newspaper is equal to 1/2 of the original number.

(x - 24) * 5/7 = 1/2 * x 
5x/7 - 120/7 = x/2
5x/7 * 2/2 - 120/7 * 2/2 = x/2 * 7/7
10x/14 - 240/14 = 7x/14
10x/14 - 7x/14 = 240/14
3x/14 = 240/14
14 * 3x/14 = 14 * 240/14
3x = 240
x = 240/3
x = 80

80 - 24 = 56 remaining newspaper in the morning
56 * 2/7 = 16 sold in the afternoon
80 - 24 - 16 = 80/2
40 = 40 remaining newspaper for the day.

Ice cream shop is open within the month of june,july and august The shop served 100 fewer customers than they did in july They s
Julli [10]

The number of customers served in the ice cream shop in June, July and August are 125, 25 and 250 customers respectively

<h3>How to write and solve equation?</h3>

let

  • June = x
  • July = x - 100
  • August = 2x
  • Total customers = 400

Total = June + July + August

400 = x + (x- 100) + 2x

400 = x + x - 100 + 2x

400 = 4x - 100

400 + 100 = 4x

500 = 4x

x = 500/4

x = 125

So,

June = x

= 125 customers

July = x - 100

125 - 100

= 25 customers

August = 2x

= 2(125)

= 250 customers

Can anybody tell me the answers to number 1, 2 &amp; 3 ???!!!!
Novay_Z [31]

Problem 1

Domain = {-1, -3, 2, 1}

Range = {5, 0, 2}

The domain is the set of possible inputs and the range is the set of possible outputs. This is a function because each input goes to exactly one output.

========================================

Problem 2

This is a function as well. We do not have any input going to multiple outputs.

Domain = {-2, -3, 5}

Range = {6, 7, 8}

========================================

Problem 3

This is not a function. The input -4 goes to more than one output (outputs 3 and -1 at the same time)

Domain = {-4, -2, 0}

Range = {3, -1, -2, 4}

The slope of a line is undefined, and the x-intercept is -7. what is the equation of the line?​
Andreyy89

The equation of line with undefined slope and x - intercept -7 is x = -7

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that the slope of line is undefined and the x intercept is -7

To find: Equation of line

If a line has undefined slope, then it is a vertical line

A vertical line has undefined slope because all points on the line have the same x-coordinate

<em><u>The equation of a vertical line always takes the form:</u></em>

x = b

where, "b" is the x - intercept

Given x - intercept is -7

<em><u>Thus the equation of line is:</u></em>

x = -7

Therefore, the equation of line is found
