The price of less expensive equipment is $1575.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Price of one equipment = x

Price of other equipment = y

According to given statement;

x+y=4000 Eqn 1

x = y+850 Eqn 2

Putting Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

$(y+850)+y=4000\\y+850+y=4000\\2y=4000-850\\2y=3150$

Dividing both sides by 2;

$\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{3150}{2}\\y=1575$

Putting y=1575 in Eqn 2;

$x=1575+850\\x=2425$

The price of less expensive equipment is $1575.

The answer: b. translated according to the rule (x, y) → (x + 8, y + 2) and reflected across the x-axis

If you make the drawing of the situation you realize the you need a reflection through the x-axis, but first you need to translate the polygon several units to the left and upward.

You can see that all the x-coordinates have increased 8 units, so the solution has to include x + 8.

Also, you see that you have to move the polygon 2 units upward before doing the reflection so the solution has to include y + 2.

So, the answer is (x,y) ---> (x + 8, y + 2) and then reflection across the x-axis.
