Answer:

$11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ben has b,

sean has s

alexis has a

samantha has s

Money.

We need to write the words into equations and solve as we can.

b + s + a + s = 47

b + s = 27

b + a = 25

b + s = 23

We need to find a.

Let's put 2nd equation in first, to get:

27 + a + s = 47

a + s = 20 ---------- 5th equation

Now let's solve 4th equation for b and put it into 3rd equation:

b + s = 23

b = 23 - s

Putting in 3rd equation:

23 - s + a = 25

a - s = 2 ---------------6th equation

Now, add up 5th and 6th equation to get a:

a + s = 20

a - s = 2

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

2a = 22

a = 22/2 = 11

Alexis got $11

Try to find x & y. I need it so much please
kumpel [21]

Answer:

x = 3

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using theorem of similar triangles, we have,

(6 + x)/6 = (7 + 3.5)/7

(6 + x)/6 = 10.5/7

Cross multiply

7(6 + x) = 10.5(6)

42 + 7x = 63

7x = 63 - 42

7x = 21

x = 21/7

x = 3

Thus:

7.5/y = (7 + 3.5)/7

7.5/y = 10.5/7

Cross multiply

7.5*7 = 10.5*y

52.5 = 10.5*y

Divide both sides by 10.5

52.5/10.5 = y

y = 5

Minchanka [31]

Answer:Let x = pay per hour as a carpenter and y = pay per hour as a blacksmith

Last week she worked 12 hours as a carpenter

earning 12x dollars

and 20 hours as a blacksmith

earning 20y dollars

and earned a total of $860

and those two things add up to 860.

Do the same with the other sentence, giving you a second equation.

Which function could be represented by the graph on the coordinate plane? f(x) = (x – 8)2 6 f(x) = (x 8)2 6 f(x) = (x 8)2 – 6 f(
hjlf

Considering it's vertex, the quadratic equation that could be represented on the plane is given as follows:

f(x) = (x - 8)² - 6.

<h3>What is the equation of a parabola given it’s vertex?</h3>

The equation of a quadratic function, of vertex (h,k), is given by:

y = a(x - h)² + k

In which a is the leading coefficient.

Researching the problem on the internet, it is found that the given graph has vertex at (8,-6), hence <u>h = 8, k = -6 and considering a = 1</u> the equation is given as follows:

f(x) = (x - 8)² - 6.
