Answer: 6 pairs of skates.

Use the following information to solve the problem. At Open Skate Night, admission is $3.75 with a membership card and $5.00 without a membership card. Skate rentals are $3.00. The Moores paid $6 more for skate rentals than the Cotters did. Together, the two families paid $30 for skate rentals. How many pairs of skates did the Moores rent?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Skate rental = $3

Total cost spent by the two families = $30

If the cost spent by the cotters is

$3×x = $3x

Where x is the number of pairs of skates that the cotters rent

The cost spent by the moores can be written as;

$3x + 6

Total cost spent by the two families is

3x + 3x + 6 = 30

6x + 6 = 30

6x = 24

x = 24/6

x = 4

So, the number of pairs of skates that the cotters rent is 4.

The moores spent $6 more than the cotters...

At $3 per pair, $6/$3 = 2

So, the number of pairs of skates that the moores rent is 4+2 = 6

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider Cotters paid "x" dollars:

According to given condition:

Moores paid "x+6" dollars.

Both paid total $30

Hence,

(x) + (x+6) = 30

Solving for x:

2x +6 = 30

    2x = 30-6

    2x = 24

       x = 24/2

       x = 12

So amount paid by Moores  = x +6 = 12+6 = $18

*****To find number of pairs of skates: price of one pair must be given.

(-2,0) And (a,3) <br> Slope 3/8
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

a= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

3/8 = (3 - 0)/(a - (-2))

cross multiplying,

3(a + 2) = 3(8)

3a + 6 = 24

3a = 18

a = 18/3

a = 6

Nathaly lost 29 cups of sugar by accidentally spilling it all over the floor after she cleaned it up,she asked her neighbor she
Taya2010 [7]

She needs 3 3/4 cups more

Step-by-step explanation:

(I think you accidently put the 18 3/4 part twice) but anyways if you add 3/4 and 1/2 you get 1 and 1/4 that will be important later then you do 18 + 6 = 24 and then add your 1 and 1/4 to get a total of 25 1/4 then you just minus that from 29 and get 3 and 3/4

Hope this Helps!

What is the equation of the function that is graphed as line a?
valentinak56 [21]
F(x)=-1x-1

1)  Pick 2 points on the line (i chose (-4,3) and (3,-4)
2) Find slope of the line using the 2 points. (work below)
3) Find y-intercept, which is the point where y-axis and the line cross (y-intercept is -1).
4) Place both slope and y-intercept into slope-intercept form, y=mx+b (m=slope and b=y-intercept.)
5) Change y to f(x) (meaning function of x).

Work:
3-(-4)/-4-3=3+4/-4-3=7/-7=-1

y-intercept equals -1 also.

y=mx+b
y=-1x+(-1)
y=-1x-1
f(x)=-1x-1<---Answer
