Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the cost of popcorn bucket and m represents the cost of 1 movie ticket.

The total cost for a bucket of popcorn and 4 movie tickets is $56.

⇒ b+4m= 56

The total cost for the same size bucket of popcorn and 6 movie tickets is $80.

⇒ b+6m=80

b+6m-(b+4m)=80-56

⇒ 2m=24

⇒ m=12

Putting value of m in b+4m=56

⇒ b+12×4=56

⇒b+48=56

⇒ b=56-48

⇒ b=8

Hence, cost of 1 movie ticket=$ 12

and cost of 1 bucket popcorn=$ 8

Let y be the total cost of the popcorn and movie tickets and x be the number of movie tickets that are purchased

⇒ 8+12x=y

Hence,  equation represents the relationship between y and x is:

y= 8+12x

Adding 2 movie tickets makes the cost go from 56 to 80. Since the difference is 24, each ticket cost $12. To find the bucket, use the original statement of 4 tickets ($48) plus 1 bucket of popcorn equals $56. The answer for each popcorn bucket is $8.

Kia purchased 3 pounds of grapes and spent $11.63 on other items. She spent a total of $20. She used the following steps to find
Maurinko [17]
3x + 11.63 = 20
3x + 11.63 - 11.63 = 20 - 11.63
3x = 8.37

by subtracting the 11.63 from both sides, this tells us how much the grapes cost....not per lb., but for the total of all the grapes.

On average, Christopher scores 2 goals in a soccer game but, depending on how well the opposing team is playing, his goal total
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Given:

Christopher scores 2 goals in a soccer game.

His goal total can vary from the average by 1 goal.

To find:

The absolute value equation can be used to calculate Christopher's maximum and minimum goals per game.

Solution:

Let Christopher scores x goals in a soccer game.

Then difference between actual goals and average goals is x-2.

His goal total can vary from the average by 1 goal.

Maximum number of goals = 2+1 = 3

Minimum number of goals = 2-1 = 1

It means, the difference between actual goals and average goals is either -1 and 1.

x-2=-1        ...(1)

x-2=1         ...(2)

Using (1) and (2),we get

|x-2|=1

Therefore, the correct option is C.

What is the solution of the inequality -6x-17≥8x+25
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
-6x -17> 8x + 25.
Get x on one side; Subtract 8x from both sides.
-14x -17 > 25.
Add 17 to both sides to get x by itself.
-14x>42.
Divide both sides by -14 (remember to flip the inequality when dividing by negatives).
x <_ 3 is your solution (line under the inequality).
I hope this helps!

Mary used one big bag of flour. She baked four loaves of bread.​ Then, she used the remaining flour to make 48 muffins. How much
algol [13]

Answer:

Amount of flour in the bag when Mary​ began = 4x+48y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of baked loaves of bread made from flour = 4

Number of muffins made from flour = 48

To find: Amount of flour in the bag when Mary​ began

Solution:

Let x denotes amount of flour used to make one baked loave of bread and y denotes amount of flour used to make one muffin.

So,

Amount of flour used to make 4 baked loaves of bread = 4 x

Amount of flour used to make 48 muffins = 48 y

Amount of flour in the bag when Mary​ began = 4x+48y

F f(x) = 3x + 2 and g(x) = x2 + 1, which expression is equivalent to (f circle g) (x)?
seraphim [82]

hi

f°g  mean apply  g(x) and  then use result of  g(x) as  "x" in f(x)

so as  g(x) = x² +1   and  f(x) = 3x+2

so if we call  g(x)   X  we have  

f( X) =  3 X +2

now we replace  " X"  for it's value

f(X) =  3 ( x² +1) +2

f(X) =  3x² +3 +2

f(X) = 3x² +5

so  f°g = 3x² +5
