So it wants you to write two equations, one for the number of fruit and another for the money spent. gather your important information first:

20 fruits for $11.50
apples cost $0.50
bananas cost $0.75

let's do the cost equation first. it's $0.50 per apple, so 0.50a, and $0.75 per banana, so 0.75b. the total cost is $11.50. put all of this information together:

0.50a + 0.75b = 11.50  ... so, the cost of apples bought plus the cost of bananas bought equals 11.50

note what your variables stand for. a represents the number of apples, b represents the number of bananas. to write an equation for how many fruits bought, you simply have to add these two and set them equal to 20 (the total number of fruits bought).

a + b = 20
and your other equation
0.50a + 0.75b = 11.50

these are your two equations. to solve the system of equations, you first want to get one variable alone; the first equation will be easier.

a + b = 20
a = 20 - b

now take this equation and plug it into the second equation.
0.50(20 - b) + 0.75b = 11.50 ... you'll notice that you only have one variable left: b. solve for it. the first step is to distribute 0.50 to the parentheses
10 - 0.50b + 0.75b = 11.50 ... combine like terms
10 + 0.25b = 11.50 ... subtract 10
0.25b = 1.5 ... divide by 0.25
b = 6

6 bananas were purchased. plug this back into an equation to find out how many apples were purchased.

a + 6 = 20 ... subtract 6
a = 14

14 apples and 6 bananas were bought.

Answer:

4986 ounces/m³

Step-by-step explanation:

1 kilogram = 35.274 ounces

1 cubic foot = 0.0283 cubic metre

We are converting kg/ft³ to ounces/m³

Hence:

4kg/ft³ × 35.274 ounces/ 1 kg × 1 ft³/0.0283m³

= 4985.7243816 ounces/m³

Approximately to the nearest whole number = 4986 ounces/m³

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

58330.5 bones

Step-by-step explanation:

Essentially mean is taking the total and dividing that by the number of items.

Here, we need to add up all the bones and divide it by the number of dogs there are:

444 + 555 + 101010 + 131313 = 233322 bones

There are 4 dogs:

233322 / 4 = 58330.5 bones

d) What are the values for coefficients a, b, and c in the quadratic equation for Daredevil Danny’s practice jump? (5 points)
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

a = -0.32

b = 16

c = - 168

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached, the quadratic function is shown. We can model it as follows:

y = a*(x - x1)*(x - x2)

where (x1, 0) and (x2, 0) are its roots

From the picture, roots are (15, 0) and (35, 0), replacing them into the equation:

y = a*(x - 15)*(x - 35)

and the vertex is at (25,32), replacing into the equation:

32 = a*(25 - 15)*(25 - 35)

32 = a*(-100)

a = 32/(-100)

a = -0.32

Applying distributive property:

y = -0.32*(x - 15)*(x - 35)

y = -0.32*(x² - 35x - 15x + 525)

y = -0.32x² + 16x - 168

which corresponds to the general form:

y = ax² + bx + c
