It is 4 because 3 times 4 equals 12
Answer: The price of each small box is $4.8 and the price of each large box is $10.8.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Price of each small box, y= price of each large box.
As per given,
3x+2y= 36 ...(i)
4x+y= 30 ...(ii)
Multiplying 2 to (ii), we get
8x+2y =60...(iii)
Subtract (i) from (iii), we get
5x= 24
x= 4.8
From (ii)
4(4.8)+y= 30
19.2+y=30
y= 10.8
Hence, the price of each small box is $4.8 and the price of each large box is $10.8.
For the sequence 2, 6, 18, 54, ..., the explicit formula is: an = a1 ! rn"1 = 2 ! 3n"1 , and the recursive formula is: a1 = 2, an+1 = an ! 3 . In each case, successively replacing n by 1, 2, 3, ... will yield the terms of the sequence. See the examples below.
Let C = the Chinese books.
Let E = the English language books.
C = 4/5 E
E - 300 = C - 180 Notice how you get this equation. You take 300 away from the English books and 180 from the Chinese and according to the question, you get an equal number of both. Put c = 4/5E into the second equation.
E - 300 = 4/5 E - 180 Add 300 to both sides.
E = 4/5 E - 180 + 300
E = 4/5 E + 120 Now subtract 4/5 E from both sidies.
E - 4/5 E = 120
1/5 E = 120 Now multiply by 5
E = 120 * 5
E = 600
So the number of books are
600 written in English
4/5 of 600 = 2400 /5 = 480 Chinese books.
English 600
Chinese 480
The answer is y = -7x
Expalnation
Two points on the table are (0,0) and (1,-7)
Change in y = -7-0 = -7
Change in x = 1-0 = 1
Slope m of the function = -7/1= -7
Using y= mx + c
Picking point (0,0), x = 0, y = 0
y = mx + c becomes
0 = -7(0) + c
0 = 0 + c
c= 0
Hence, the equation is y = -7x + 0
which is y = -7x
Option b is the correct answer
