ce of​ $9.50 for each​ piece, but later decreased the price of each piece by​ $2. If they sold all 90 pieces and took in ​$729​, find how many pieces they sold at the original price and how many pieces they sold at the reduced price.

Answer:27 pieces were sold at the original price.

63 pieces were sold at the new price

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pieces of pottery that was sold at the original price.

Let y represent the number of pieces of pottery that was sold at the new price.

They sold some of their pottery at the original price of​ $9.50 for each​ piece. This means that the amount that they got from selling x pieces of pottery at the original price would be 9.5x

They later decreased the price of each piece by​ $2. This means that the new price was 9.5 - 2 = $7.5

This means that the amount that they got from selling x pieces of pottery at the new price would be 7.5y

If they sold all 90 pieces and took in ​$729​, then the equations are

x + y = 90

9.5x + 7.5y = 729 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 90 - y into equation 1, it becomes

9.5(90 - y) + 7.5y = 729

855 - 9.5y + 7.5y = 729

- 9.5y + 7.5y = 729 - 855

- 2y = - 126

y = - 126/- 2 = 63

Substituting y = 63 into x = 90 - y, it becomes

x = 90 - 63 = 27

Express 3 log x^2 + 7 log x as a single log
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

log x^13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the laws of logarithms

a log b = log b^a and  log a + log b = log ab:

3 log x^2 + 7 log x

= log (x^2)^3 + log x^7

= log x^6 + log x^7

= log (x^6*x^7)

= log x^13.

MARKING AS BRAINLIEST!! Starr if given functions are inverse)!
Kitty [74]

Answer: They are inverses of each other

==========================================================

Explanation:

We'll need to compute h(f(x)) and f(h(x)) to see if we get x each time.

h(x) = 9x-4\\\\h(f(x)) = 9(f(x))-4\\\\h(f(x)) = 9\left(\frac{x+4}{9}\right)-4\\\\h(f(x)) = x+4-4\\\\h(f(x)) = x\\\\

and,

f(x) = \frac{x+4}{9}\\\\f(h(x)) = \frac{h(x)+4}{9}\\\\f(h(x)) = \frac{9x-4+4}{9}\\\\f(h(x)) = \frac{9x}{9}\\\\f(h(x)) = x\\\\

Both composite functions lead to x each time.

The equations h(f(x)) = x and f(h(x)) = x being true means each function is the inverse of the other.
