2. Destiny rents games from a company that charges a $9.00 monthly fee and $2.50 for each game rental. She ends up paying $26.50

for the month of July. The equation 2.5x + 9 = 26.5 represents this situation. Solve the equation for x. What does this value of x mean in terms of the context?

Answer:

x = 7

and it means that 7 games were rented that month

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to solve for x from the given equation

we have this as:

2.5x + 9 = 26.5

2.5x = 26.5-9

2.5x = 17.5

x = 17.5/2.5

x = 7

What x means in this case is that the number of games rented in the month is 7

If y/5+8=7, what is the value of y/5-2
Andrei [34K]
"<span>y/5+8=7, what is the value of y/5-2?"  Simplify the first equation:  
 
y/5 = 7 - 8, or -1, so y/5 = -1, or y = -5.

Then y/5 - 2 equals -5/5 - 2, or -3.</span>

Simplify the following expression, if you can see the picture the expression is as follows:
Kobotan [32]
\sqrt{40}=2 \sqrt{10} and \sqrt{90} = 3\sqrt{10}, so we have \sqrt{10}(2-1+3). which is 4 \sqrt{10}.

In the table below, x represents the miles traveled and y represents the cost to travel by train.
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Third option

m = 2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the function is equal to its rate of change between two points.

For example, for a couple of points (x_1, y_1),\ (x_2, y_2)

The slope is:

m =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

In this problem we have the following points

1.(2, 8.50) , 2. (5, 15.25), 3. (8, 22.00) , 4. (12, 31.00)

We calculate the slope between the first two points

m =\frac{15.25-8.50}{5-2}=2.25

We calculate the slope between the points 3 and 4

m =\frac{31-22}{8-4}=2.25

We calculate the slope between the points 2 and 3

m =\frac{22-15.25}{8-5}=2.25

The slope is always the same. Therefore m is constant and the fution is a line of slope m = 2.25

You are designing a rectangular garden. the garden will be enclosed by fencing on three sides and by a house on the fourth side.
RUDIKE [14]
Suppose the dimensions of the rectangle is x by y and let the side enclosed by a house be one of the sides measuring x, then the sides that is to be enclosed are two sides measuring y and one side measuring x.

Thus, the length of fencing needed is given by

P = x + 2y

The area of the rectangle is given by xy,

i.e.

xy = 288  \\  \\  \\  \\ \Rightarrow y= \frac{288}{x}

Substituting for y into the equation for the length of fencing needed, we have

P=x+2\left( \frac{288}{x} \right)=x+ \frac{576}{x}

For the amount of fencing to be minimum, then

\frac{dP}{dx} =0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow1- \frac{576}{x^2} =0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow \frac{576}{x^2} =1 \\  \\ \Rightarrow x^2=576 \\  \\ \Rightarrow x=\sqrt{576}=24

Now, recall that

y= \frac{288}{x} = \frac{288}{24} =12

Thus, the length of fencing needed is given by

P = x + 2y = 24 + 2(12) = 24 + 24 = 48.

Therefore, 48 feets of fencing is needed to enclose the garden.

What is the range for y=x^2-7x-8 ?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

[-20.25;+∞).

Step-by-step explanation:

1) according to the properties of the given parabola the minimum is:

x_0=-\frac{-7}{2}=3.5; \ y_0=-20.25;

2) y₀=-20.25 means, the value -20.25 is minimum of the range, the maximum →+∞;

3) finally, the range y≥-20.25.
