Two florists purchased flower bouquets and vases at the same store. The first florist bought 3 flower bouquets and 5 vases for a

total of $25.75. The second florist bought 8 flower bouquets and 2 vases for a total of $29.00.

I finished the test and here's the answer~!
3x+5y=25.75
8x+2y=29.00
So I first got what x is equal too.
8x+2y=29    8x+2y-2y=29-2y    8x=29-2y    8x/8=29/8-2y/8    x=3.625-0.25y
Next substitute x for the equation.
3(3.625-0.25y)+5y=25.75
10.875-0.75y+5y=25.75
10.875-10.875+4.25y=25.75-10.875
4.25y/4.25=14.875/4.25
y = 3.5
Now substitute y for 3.5.
8x+2(3.5)=29
8x+7-7=29-7
8x/8=22/8
x = 2.75
The price of a flower bouquet would be $2.75. Don't worry I got this question correct. :)

A store sells bread and milk. On Tuesday, 3 loaves of bread and 2 litres of milk were sold for €6.25. On Thursday
chubhunter [2.5K]

Equation is 4b + 5m = €10.90, and values of b and m are €1.35 and €1.1 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find equation for Thursday's sales.

Given b = price of a loaf of bread and m = price of one liter of milk

Total sales = €10.90

Equation ⇒ 4b + 5m = €10.90

  • Step 2: Find the values of b and m.

3b + 2m = 6.25 ----- (1)

4b + 5m = 10.90 ---- (2)

Multiply eq(1) by 5 and eq(2) by 2 to make coefficients of m equal.

15b + 10m = 31.25

8b + 10m = 21.8

Subtract eq(2) from eq(1)

⇒ 7b = 9.45

⇒ b = 9.45/7 = €1.35

Substitute for b and find m using eq(1).

⇒ 3 × 1.35 + 2m = 6.25

⇒ 4.05 + 2m = 6.25

⇒ 2m = 2.2

∴∴ m = 2.2/2 = €1.1

Q # 1 Graph the function<br>Y = |X + 2| - 3
Svetllana [295]
First of all we know the Absolute Value Function that is:

\left | x \right |= \left \{ {{x \ \ \ \ x \geq 0} \atop {-x \ \ \ \ x\ \textless \ 0}} \right.

This is called the Parent Function <em>of the Absolute Value Function.</em>

From the equation:

y=\left | x+2 \right |-3

The term:

\left | x+2 \right |

means that the the Parent Function is <em>shifted</em> two units <em>to the left</em>.

On the other hand, the term:

-3

means that the function \left | x+2 \right | is <em>shifted</em> three units <em>downward. </em>So the result is the graph shown below

Describe the behavior of the function h around its vertical asymptote at x=-6.
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

One good way to look at this is to graph both polynomials, as shown in the picture. A tip to help graph is to factor it out and work from there. For example, in x²+14x+48, we can gather that (x+6)(x+8) is the same thing, and it is easier to then graph it. Similarly, for x²+12x+36, we can factor it out as (x+6)² .

When x²+12x+36 approaches 6, it is getting really close to 0, but it stays positive. When x²+14x+48 approaches 6 from the negative side, it is also getting close to 0, but it's negative. When x²+14x+48 approaches 6 from the positive side, it is positive.

Therefore, on the negative side, there is one positive and one negative (dividing a negative by a positive is negative, and a positive by a negative is also negative) , and on the positive side, there are two positives, forming one answer.The answer is therefore B

Possible solution for 4+x+2-2x=5
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

For algebra always start by rewriting it.

4+x+2-2x=5

Then ask yourself is there any like terms we can combine, and here yes there is. 4 and 2 and x and -2x. Now lets combine them and rewrite.

6-x=5

Now lets get x alone and the quickest way is to subtract 6 to the other side

6-x=5

-6    -6

  -x=-1

Now the two negatives cancel out as you would divide both sides by the coefficient -1 to get positive x alone. We can make this easier by just canceling out the negatives.

Your answer is

x=1
