Let's make some variables to represent the cost of the tables and chairs.

Let x be equal to the cost of one chair
Let y be equal to the cost of one table

The total cost for 3 chairs and 2 tables is $17.

3x + 2y = 17

The total cost for 8 chairs and 4 tables is $37.

8x + 4y = 37

Now we have our system of equations.
Let's solve it.

3x + 2y = 17
8x + 4y = 37

We can cancel the y's very easily. Then it would just leave us with the x's.
Multiply the top equation by -2.

3x(-2) + 2y(-2) = 17(-2) = 
-6x - 4y =  -34

Then add the equations together.

-6x - 4y = -34
8x + 4y = 37
        =
2x = 3

Then just divide both sides by 2.

x = 1.5

Substitute 1.5 into one of the equation. I'll pick 3x + 2y = 17

3(1.5) + 2y = 17 ; Start
4.5 + 2y = 17      ; Multiply 3 and 1.5 together
2y = 12.5             ; Subtract 4.5 from each side of the equation
y = 6.25                ; Divide both sides by the coefficient of y. Which 2

So, a chair costs $1.50 and a table costs $6.25.

3+2 = 5
8 + 4  = 12 
37 / 12 = 3.08
5 / 17  = 3 .04 
so i would say 3 dollars

Select the graph and the description of the end behavior of f(x) = x3 + 2.
Dmitry [639]
F(x)=x^3+2
we see the power is odd
the ends go in opsoite directions
we know that if the leadind coefient (number in front of highest power term) is positive, then odd powered polynomials go from bottom left to top right
and for even ones, it goes both up

for negative, odd ones go from top left to bottom right
for even, both go down

we gots
f(x)=1x^3+2
positive and odd, so it goes from bottom left to top right

as x approaches negative inifnity, y approaches negaitve infinity
as x approaches infinity, y approaches infinity
