Sylvie bought 13 bagels and a container of cream cheese.Each bagel cost the same price.The cream cheese cost $2.95.Sylvie spent
Taya2010 [7]
Ok, first set this up as an equation with your given variables. You know that Sylvie bought 1 container of cream cheese, which is $2.95, and you know that Sylvie spent $7.50 <u>(my best assumption is this is the subtotal)</u><u /> on the cream cheese and 13 bagels. As an equation, it would come out as:

7.50=2.95+13(b)

To start solving the algebraic equation, wou can subtract 2.95 on both sides, resulting as 

4.55=13 (b)

Now, to get "b" by itself, you must divide 13 on both sides, resulting as

.35=b

This will answer your question as the cost of 1 bagel would be $0.35 per bagel.

Landen spent L hours at the beach last weekend. Matéo spent 15% fewer hours at the beach than Landen did
fenix001 [56]

Answer: B, D, and E

0.85L

or

L-0.15L

or

L(1-0.15)

or

L - \frac{15}{100}L

L - \frac{3}{20}L

Step-by-step explanation:

L is the number of hours Landen spent at the beach. Mateo spent 15% less time. This means he spent 85% of it. So 0.85 times L. We can also calculate it by subtracting the difference between the two kids. - 15%. 15% is 0.15L or \frac{15}{100}L. We subtract by L-0.15L or as L - \frac{15}{100}L. This fraction can simplify to L - \frac{3}{20}L

I can't figure this out
andriy [413]
Suppose that equation of parabola is
y =ax² + bx + c


Since parabola passes through the point (2,−15) then 
−15 = 4a + 2b + c

Since parabola passes through the point (-5,-29), then
−29 = 25a − 5b + c

Since parabola passes through the point (−3,−5), then 
−5 = 9a − 3b + c


Thus, we obtained following system:
4a + 2b + c = −15
25a − 5b + c = −29
9a − 3b + c = −5

Solving it we get that 
a = −2, b = −4, c = 1

Thus, equation of parabola is
y = −2x²− 4x + 1

____________________

Rewriting in the form of 
(x - h)² = 4p(y - k)

i) -2x² - 4x + 1 = y

ii) -3x² - 7x = y - 11
(-3x² and -7x are isolated)

iii) -3x² - 7x - 49/36 = y - 1 - 49/36
(Adding -49/36 to both sides to get perfect square on LHS)

iv) -3(x² + 7/3x + 49/36) = y - 3
(Taking out -3 common from LHS)

v) -3(x + 7/6)² = y - 445/36 

vi) (x + 7/6)² = -⅓(y - 445/36) 
(Shifting -⅓ to RHS)

vii) (x + 1)² = 4(-1/12)(y - 445/36)
(Rewriting in the form of 4(-1/12) ; This is 4p) 


So, after rewriting the equation would be - 

(x + 7/6)² = 4(-⅛)(y - 445/36)

Given the graph of a line y=−x. Write an equation of a line (there are many) which intersects the line, but is not perpendicular
BaLLatris [955]
This would be any equation whose slope isn’t -1 or 1.

If the slope was -1, the lines would be parallel because the have the same slope.

If the slope was 1, the lines would be perpendicular because 1 is the negative reciprocal of -1.

Any line with any other slope will intersect with y=-x.

Hope this helps!
