Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The term 8x is a product (as is any term). It is the product of a constant coefficient (8) and a variable (x). The "coefficient" is the multiplier of the variable of interest, so is 8 in this term.

_____

The word "coefficient" is often used to refer to the constant multiplier in any term. For example, in the term 6xy, if we just ask for the coefficient, we are interested in the value 6.

On the other hand, if we ask for the coefficient of y in that term, we expect to be told it is 6x. That is, the "coefficient" is the multiplier of the specified variable or constellation of variables.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The height of the fox in Huseyin's drawing is, 16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion states that the two ratios or fractions are equal.

As per the statement: Huseyin draws a fox with a scale of 3 units on his graph paper represents 15 cm. The fox has an actual height of 80 cm.

⇒ We are given Scale of 3 units.

On graph paper the length of fox is 15 cm.

The fox has an actual height = 80 cm

let x be the height in units of the fox in Huseyin's drawing.

By definition of proportion;

$\frac{3}{15} = \frac{x}{80}$

by cross multiply we get;

$3 \times 80 = 15x$

Simplify:

240 = 15x

Divide both sides by 15 we get;

x = 16 units.

Therefore, the height of the fox in Huseyin's drawing is, 16 units

H(x) = 3x2 - 2x + 13 h(3) [?]

kow [346]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When you substitute x for 3, the new equation would be ; 3(3)(2) - 2(3) + 13

using order of operations from left to right, you would start by multiplying

3(3)(2) and 3(3) is 9, and 9(2) is 18. The next step is to multiply 2 and 3 which is 6. Once you have both groups of numbers simplified, you can plug them back in : 18 - 6 + 13 ; 18 - 6 is 12, and 12 + 13 is 25, so the answer is 25.

A customer went to a garden shop and bought some potting soil for 12.50 and 5 shrubs.The total bill was 62.50. Write and solve a

lana66690 [7]

The answer is 10.00

s - the price of one shrub
p - the price of potting soil
p = 12.50

The total bill for 1 potting soil and 5 shrubs was 62.50:
p + 5s = 62.50
12.50 + 5s = 62.50
5s = 62.50 - 12.50
5s = 50.00
s = 50.00 : 5
s = 10.00
