Answer:

40 jewelry sets

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: assign variables

x = additional # of sets

total # of sets = 20 + x

price = 600 - 10x

Step 2: make an equation

f(x) = (20 + x)(600 - 10x)

Step 3: find x intercepts

0 = (20 + x)(600 - 10x)

x = -20,  x=60

Step 4: find the midpoint/average of x intercepts

(60 - 20) / 2 = 20

Step 5: plug it into the "total # of sets" equation

20 + 20 = 40

Find the range of ƒ(x) = –x + 4 for the domain {–3, –2, –1, 1}.
qaws [65]

Answer:

range {3, 5, 6, 7 }

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the range substitute each value of x from the domain into f(x)

f(- 3) = -(- 3) + 4 = 3 + 4 = 7

f(- 2) = - (- 2 + 4 = 2 + 4 = 6

f(- 1) = - (- 1) + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5

f(1) = - 1 + 4 = 3

range y ∈ { 3, 5, 6, 7 }

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

p=(t-s)/r

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an equation so all we have to do is solve backwards step by step:

rp+s=t

rp+s-s=t-s

rp/r=(t-s)/r

p=(t-s)/r

A large university accepts ​60% of the students who apply. Of the students the university​ accepts, 50​% actually enroll. If 10,
prisoha [69]

we need to find 1% of 10000 first

so we divide 10000:100= 100 (that's 1%)

to find the 60% which will be accepted we multiply 100 × 60 = 6000 students accepted

of those 6000 we need to find 50% which is ½ so we basically just divide by 2, aka 6000 : 2 = 3000 people which will be enrolled

Which values of m and b will create a system of equations with no solution? choose 1 options.
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The graph of a linear equation is a straight line.  The "solution" to a system of two linear equations is the point where the two lines cross.  If the two lines are parallel, they never cross; hence parallel lines have no solution.  Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope (the m value in y = mx+b).  One of your equations is y = -2x + (you left the y-intercept out).  The slope is -2.  So any line with a slope of m = -2 will be parallel to this line and will not cross it.  The second line also needs a different value of b, the y-intercept.  Otherwise it is the same line and every point is a solution.  So if your equation is:

 

y = -2x + 1

 

Then any equation of the form y = -2x + b, b≠1 will create a system with no solution.  Hence the values of m and b are m = -2, b ≠ 1.
