So, let's say the soft drink equals y and the sandwich equals x.
x + y = 9.9
The sandwich costs 3.5 times as much as the soft drink
x = 3.5y
Therefore, we can replace x with 3.5y since they're the same thing
3.5y + y = 9.9 <-- That's the equation :)
Both problems give you a function in the second column and the x-values. To find out the values of a through f, you need to plug in those x-values into the function and simplify!
You need to know three exponent rules to simplify these expressions:
1)
The
negative exponent rule says that when a
base has a negative exponent, flip the base onto the other side of the
fraction to make it into a positive exponent. For example,

.
2)
Raising a fraction to a power is the same as separately raising the numerator and denominator to that power. For example,

.
3) The
zero exponent rule<span> says that any number
raised to zero is 1. For example,

.
</span>
Back to the Problem:
Problem 1
The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is

. The x-values are:
<span>
1) x = 0</span>Plug this into

to find letter a:

<span>
2) x = 2</span>Plug this into

to find letter b:

<span>
3) x = 4</span>Plug this into

to find letter c:

<span>
Problem 2
</span>The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is

. The x-values are:
<span>
1) x = 0</span>Plug this into

to find letter d:

<span>
2) x = 2
</span>Plug this into

to find letter e:

<span>
3) x = 4
</span>Plug this into

to find letter f:

<span>

Answer:
I think 2 points
Step-by-step explanation:
I may be wrong bc I suck at algebra. literally who is gonna use algebra ever?
Answer:
My answer is D) y = 2(x - 2.5)^2 + 6
I hope it helps
Answer:
$ 14.9
Step-by-step explanation:
we can create an equation
use variables:
pies = p
sauce = s
3.5p + 0.45s
3.5 (4) + 0.45(2)
<u>= $ 14.9</u>
