Kevin and Levi go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends. Kevin spends a total of $44.50 on 3 bags of

popcorn and 4 drinks. Levi spends a total of $84.00 on 4 bags of popcorn and 8 drinks. Write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of one bag of popcorn and the price of one drink. Using these equations, determine and state the price of a bag of popcorn, to the nearest cent.

Answer:

44.50 = 3 x + 4 y

84= 4x +8 y

each popcorn bag costs $2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

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

The total cost for Kevin (44.50) is equal to the product of the number of popcorn bags bought (x ) and the price of each bag, plus the product of the number of drinks purchased (y) and the price of each drink (y).

Mathematically speaking

Kevin : 44.50 = 3 x + 4 y

Using the same process for Levi:

Levi : 84= 4x +8 y

The system is  

44.50 = 3 x + 4 y (k)

84= 4x +8 y (L)

If we multiply Kevin's equation by 2 and subtract it to Levi's equation:

89 = 6x +8y

          -

( 84= 4x +8 y)

----------------------

5 = 2x

solving for x

5/2= x

2.5 =x

each popcorn  costs $2.5

Write the expression for when you translate the graph of y = |3x− 5| one unit to the right. Plzz help
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

2<x<4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation of a graph to be y = |3x− 5|, if the equation is one unit to the right, this can be expressed as |3x-5| > 1.

Solving the resulting equation

|3x-5| > 1.

Since the function 3x-5 is in a modulus sign, this means that the function can take both negative and positive values.

For positive value of the function;

+(3x-5) > 1

3x > 1+5

3x>6

x>6/3

x>2 ... (1)

For the negative value of the function;

-(3x-5) > 1

On expansion

-3x+5 > 1

-3x > 1-5

-3x > -4

Multiplying through by -1 will also change the inequality sign

x < -4/-3

x < 4/3...(2)

Combining equation 1 and 2, we have;

2<x<4/3

If f(x) is an even function and (6, 8) is one the points on the graph of f(x), which reason explains why (–6, 8) must also be a
ch4aika [34]

Definition: A function is "even" when f(x) = f(−x) for all x.

Geometrically speaking, the graph face of an even function is symmetric with respect to the y-axis, meaning that its graph remains unchanged after reflection about the y-axis.

If point (6, 8) is one the points on the graph of f(x), then f(6)=8 and since function is even, you can state that f(-6)=f(6)=8. This means that point (-6,8) must also be a point on the graph. Geometrically it means that the output of a negative x-value and its opposite is the same.

Answer: correct choice is A.
