Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

price of 1 pen= $ 2

price of 1 pencil= $1

total money spent= $12

Let the number of pen be a and number of pencil be b.

 2 a + b = 12   ----------------Equation 1

We have, she bought 3 more pens than pencils

  a - b = 3   ------------------  Equation 2

 Equation 1 +Equation 2,  

   2 a + b +  a - b = 12 + 3

                     3a = 15

                     a = 5

 Substituting in  equation

           5 - b = 3

               b = 2

 Number pencils Ava bought = 2

The graph of the parent function f(x) = x3 is translated to form g(x) = (x – 2)3 – 3. Which is the graph of g(x), the translated
Nookie1986 [14]

f(x) + n - shift a graph of f n units up

f(x) - n - shift a graph of f n units down

f(x + n) - shift a graph of f n units left

f(x - n) - shift a graph of f n units right.

f(x) = x³, g(x) = (x - 2)³ - 3 = f(x - 2) - 3

2 units right and 3 units down.

4 Suki watches a movie and eats a snack afterward. The movie starts at 7:15 PM
Olin [163]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

25 minutes long

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Hope this helps!

Ok so we know that the movie starts at 7:15 PM. The duration of the movie is 1.5 hours long. She begins eating her snack after the movie which, sense 7:15 plus 1.5 hours is 8:45, is 8:45. She finishes her snack at 9:10. What is the difference between 9:10 and 8:45?

For me, the easiest thing to do we would be to add a half hour (30 minutes) to the 8:45. This gets 9:15. Since 9:15 is past 9:10, I subtract the difference to get 5 minutes. I then take the 30 minutes I added to the 8:45 and subtract the 5 minutes that it went over to get 25 minutes. This is the easiest way to get the answer in my opinion. Sorry if this could not be of help to you!

Diagram to better understand maybe? (I did the best I could with this lol)

                                              x (the 25 minutes you found once you solved it)

                                                                                      ^

7:15 PM ----------------------------- 1.5 hours later----------------------------------- 9:10 PM

^                                                          ^                                                            ^

Time the movie started          Movie length             When she finished eating
