Simple Cuts is a hair salon that offers two types of haircuts: a buzz cut and a flat-top. Jerry charges $9 for a buzz cut and $1

3 for a flat-top. If Jerry made $600 one day and knows that he cut three times as many buzzes as flat-tops, how many flat-tops did he cut that day?

Let x=the number of Buzz  & let y = number of flat:

9x+13y = 600

But 3x = y (given) then ==> 9x+(13)3x= 600==48x =600 x = 12.5

& y=37.5 (PROOF 9 x 12.5) + (13 x 37.5) =600

Well hmmm 
let's say 
b = amount of buzz cuts
f = amount of flat-top cuts

now, the total price for all the buzz cuts, since each one is $9, will then be 9*b or 9b

and the price for all flat-top cuts, since each is $13, will then be 13*f or 13f

one day Jerry made a total of $600, so we know, whatever "b" and "f" are, we know their price sum was 600,

thus    9b + 13f = 600

now, Jerry "<span>knows that he cut three times as many buzzes as flat-tops", so, whatever "f" is, "b" is three times that much, or 3*f, so b = 3f

now then     </span>\bf \begin{cases}&#10;9b+13f=600\\&#10;\boxed{b}=3f\\&#10;----------\\&#10;9\left( \boxed{3f} \right)+13f=600&#10;\end{cases}
<span>
solve for "f"</span>

(X-4) (x+2)=16 <br> What’s the standard form
Reika [66]

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 4)(x + 2) = 16 \\  {x}^{2}  + (- 4 + 2)x + ( - 4)  \times 2= 16 \\  {x}^{2}  - 2x - 8  - 16 = 0 \\  {x}^{2}  - 2x - 24 = 0 \\ is \: the \: standard \: form.

To factor 9x^2 - 4, you can first rewrite the expression as:
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

  C. (3x)^2 - (2)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the two terms is a perfect square, so the factorization is that of the difference of squares. Rewriting the expression to ...

  (3x)^2 - (2)^2

highlights the squares being differenced.

__

We know the factoring of the difference of squares is ...

  a^2 -b^2 = (a -b)(a +b)

so the above-suggested rewrite is useful for identifying 'a' and 'b'.

Consider the function f(x) = 5x + 7. Which statement MUST be true? A) f(1) ? f(3) = f(3) ? f(1) B) f(1) ? f(3) = f(5) ? f(3) C)
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The answers are as follows for the functions.

f(1) = 12

f(3) = 22

f(5) = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

To find any of these, simply input the value in for x in the equation given.

f(1)

f(x) = 5x + 7

f(x) = 5(1) + 7

f(x) = 5 + 7

f(x) = 12

You can repeat this for each of them and it will allow you to use all of the numbers in the equations given.
