Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold
From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
Answer:
it's ax+b form answer is Q(x-2)=4x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
ax+b=Q(x),Q(x-2)=a(x-2)+2
Q(3x)=a(3x)+b=12x+2, 3a=12 =>a=4,b=2
the original q of x is 4x+2
Q of x-2 =4(x-2)+2=4x-8+2=4x-6
Answer:
B. 8x^2-6x-7
Step-by-step explanation:
All you have to do is combine the like terms.
Like terms are the terms that have the same variable and same exponent.
The like terms in this equation are 6x^2 and 2x^2, 11x and -17x, and -3 and -4.
When you add 6x^2 and 2x^2, you get 8x^2
When you add 11x and -17x, you get -6x
When you add -3 and -4, you get -7.
Putting these all in order, your answer is
8x^2 - 6x - 7
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
y inversely proportional to x
y=1k/x
4=k/4
k=4×4
k=16
to find y
y=16/4
y=4
