Answer:

$ 5.65

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cost of a pencil and a ruler be $p and $r respectively.

4p +r= 1 -----(1)

6p +3r= 2.10

divide by 3 throughout:

2p +r= 0.70 -----(2)

Q: 3p +13r= ?

(1) -(2):

(4p +r) -(2p +r)= 1 -0.70

4p +r -2p -r= 0.30 (expand)

2p= 0.30 (simplify)

p= 0.30 ÷2 (÷2 on both sides)

p= 0.15

subst. into (1):

4(0.15) +r= 1

r +0.60= 1

r= 1 -0.60

r= 0.40

cost of three pencils and thirteen rulers

= 3p + 13r

= 3(0.15) + 13(0.40)

= 0.45 + 5.20

= $5.65

Answer:

Second option: 81y^4 - 16x^2, the difference of squares

Step-by-step explanation:

(9y^2-4x)(9y^2+4x) is a special product named difference of squares, then we can apply this formula:

(a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2, with a=9y^2 and b=4x, then:

(9y^2-4x)(9y^2+4x)=(9y^2)^2 - (4x)^2

(9y^2-4x)(9y^2+4x)=(9)^2 (y^2)^2 - (4)^2 (x)^2

(9y^2-4x)(9y^2+4x)=81y^(2*2) - 16x^2

(9y^2-4x)(9y^2+4x)=81y^4 - 16x^2

The volume of a cube depends on the length of its sides. This can be written

White raven [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is that the volume of a cube depends on the length of its sides.This can be written in function notation as v(s). What is the best interpretation of v(3)=27.

Solution:

According to the question the volume of a cube depends on the length of its sides. According to the statement we will apply the formula of volume of a cube.

V(s)=s³

In this question we have given s=3ft.

So, we will put the value of 's' in the formula.

V(s)=s³

V(3)=3³

Multiply 3 three times to get the answer.

V(3)=3*3*3

V(3)=27 ft³

This means that the cube has a volume of 27ft³ with the length of its sides 3ft....

Can you break down how to solve the problem ?

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

A. y = $\frac{-5x}{2}$ - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Equation of the line:

5x + 2y = 12

Coordinates = -2, 4

Unknown:

The equation of the line parallel to this line = ?

To solve this problem, first, we need to find the slope of the given line.

Every linear equation have the formula: y = mx + c

m is the slope of the line, c is the y- intercept

5x + 2y = 12

Express this equation as y = mx + c

2y = -5x + 12

y = $\frac{-5}{2}x$ + 6

The slope of this line is $\frac{-5}{2}$

Now, any line that is parallel to another will not cut or cross it at any point. This simply implies they have the same slope.

Slope of the line parallel is $\frac{-5}{2}$

Our new line will also take the form y=mx + c,

Coordinates = -2, 4, x = -2 and y = 4

m is $\frac{-5}{2}$

Now let us solve for C, the y-intercept;

4 = - 2 x $\frac{-5}{2}$ + C

4 = 5 + C

C = -1

The equation of the line is therefore;

y = $\frac{-5x}{2}$ - 1
