ce of $12.50 each, but later decreased the price of each
by $3.00. If they sold all 87 pieces and took in $901.50, find how many they sold at the original price and how many they sold at the reduced price.

Answer:

The number sold at $12.50 is  25

The number sold at $9.50 is 62

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations:

x 12.50 + y 9.50=901.50

x+y= 87

Where

x= number of pottery pieces sold

y= number of pottery pieces sold at a decreased price  

Multiplying the second equation by 9.50, and subtracting the second equation to the first equation:

12.50 x + 9.50y = 901.50

-

9.50 x+ 9.50 y= 826.5

__________________

3 x = 75

Solving for x

x =75/3

x = 25

Replacing x=25 on any equation:

x+y= 87

25+y =87

y=87-25

y= 62

A piecewise function is shown here:
prohojiy [21]

f(0) = -3(0) + 5 = 5

f(-4) = -3(-4) + 5 = 17

f(6) = ½(6) - 4 = -1

f(9) = 2

f(2) = ½(2) - 4 = -3

Using the restraints, find which equation the f(x) function validates and plug it in.

What is the solution set to the inequality –3x + 5.9 ≥ –15.4 for x in the set {–10, –5, 0, 5, 10}?
Veronika [31]

–3x + 5.9 ≥ –15.4

subtract 5.9 from each side

-3x >= -21.3

divide by -3  which causes the inequality to flip

x <= 7.1

Answer: -10,-5,0,5
