The answer is D, 34

If 4 of the packages contain 7 pens, that means there, 28 pens are total.

Because they contained either 3 or 7 pens, I would assume the remaining 2 packages of 6 total that Steve had bought would have to have 3 pens. 

3*2 is equal to 6

28 + 6 = 34

The answer is D.
Calculate how many pens he bought for only the bags with 7 pens each. You get 28.
Next, since you know there are 2 bags left that each must have 3 pens only, calculate how many pens he bought in only those 2 bags. You get 6.
Add the 2 values. 28+6 is 34, so your answer is choice D.

5x-y=7
seropon [69]

Answer:

see graph of y = 5x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

If graphing is the task, you should rewrite the equation in a y = ax + b form. All straight lines can be described in this form, only the a and b determine which line it is.

Your equation 5x-y=7 has the 5x on the left side, so lets move it to the right. It will get a negative sign (this is the same as subtracting 5x like you did in your picture)

5x - y = 7

-y = 7 - 5x

Now we still have the -y which should be a +y. So we multiply left and right with -1 and get:

y = -7 + 5x

If we swap the -y and 5x (we can, because they are just an addition), we get:

y = 5x - 7

Now the equation is in its "normal" form. It's like the y = ax + b with a and b chosen as a=5 and b=-7.

The normal form is handy because you can immediately see the slope is 5 and the intersection with the y-axis is at y=-7.

Given: g(x) = Vx – 4 and h(x) = 2x – 8.<br> What is g(h(10))?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

g(h(10)) = 43

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: g(x) = 4x – 4 and h(x) = 2x – 8.

We are to find g(h(10))

First we need to get g(h(x))

g(h(x)) = g(2x-8)

Replace x in g(x) with 2x-8 as shown:

g(2x-8) = 4(2x-8)-4

g(2x-8)= 8x-32-5

g(2x-8) = 8x-37

Hence g(h(x)) = 8x-37

g(h(10)) = 8(10)-37

g(h(10)) = 80-37

g(h(10)) = 43

Hence g(h(10)) is 43

Which expression can be used to determine the length of segment ZY? See image.
mixer [17]

Answer:

\sqrt{8^{2} + 3^{2} }

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that this is a rectangle triangle, and that the ZY side is the hypotenuse.

It's length is then square root of the sum of the squares of the other sides:

hyp = \sqrt{a^{2} + b^{2} }

So, in this case:

ZY = \sqrt{8^{2} + 3^{2} }

The 8 and 3 numbers are easy to get from the graphic... and the order doesn't matter (8² + 3² = 3² + 8²).

That's an easy rule to remember.

I hope it helps.
