If f(x) = (x – 2], then find<br> f(-3).

Which method would be more efiicient to solve the system y=1/2x and 2x+3y=28

Licemer1 [7]

Probably the subsitution method

y=1/2x
subsitute that fr y

2x+3(1/2x)=28
2x+3/2x=28
times 2 both sides
4x+3x=56
7x=56
divide by 7 both sides
x=8
sub back

y=1/2x
y=1/2(8)
y=4

(x,y)
(8,4)

Javon spent %687 on pokemon cards. Energy cards cost $6 and dragon cards cost $5. If he bought a total of 127 packs then how man

pshichka [43]

Answer:

Javon purchase Energy cards = 52

Javon purchase Dragon cards = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Javon spent $687 on pokemon cards. Energy cards cost $6

and dragon cards cost $5.

To find - If he bought a total of 127 packs then how many of each did he buy ?

Proof -

Let Javon purchase Energy cards = x

Javon purchase Dragon cards = y

Now,

Given that he bought a total of 127 packs

⇒x + y = 127

Also,

Cost for 1 Energy card = $6

⇒Cost of x Energy cards = $ 6x

And

Cost of 1 Dragon card = $5

⇒Cost of y Dragon card = $ 5y

Now,

Given that Javon spent $687 on pokemon cards.

⇒6x + 5y = 687

∴ we get

x + y = 127 ..................(1)

6x + 5y = 687 .................(2)

Multiply by 6 in equation (1) , we get

6(x + y) = 6(127)

⇒6x + 6y = 762 .................(3)

Now,

Subtract equation (2) from equation (1) , we get

6x + 6y - (6x + 5y )= 762 - 687

⇒6x + 6y - 6x - 5y = 75

⇒y = 75

Now,

Put the value of y in equation (1), we get

x + 75 = 127

⇒x = 127 - 75

⇒x = 52

∴ we get

Javon purchase Energy cards = x = 52

Javon purchase Dragon cards = y = 75

My friend sets out walking at a speed of $3$ miles per hour. I set out behind her $5$ minutes later at $4$ miles per hour. When

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: The answer is 0.25 miles.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that my friend started walking at a speed of 3 miles per hour and I started 5 minutes after him at a speed of 4 miles per hour. We need to find the number of miles my friend travelled when I started walking.

Since I started 5 minutes after than my friend, so we are to find the distance travelled by my friend in 5 minutes.

In 1 hour, i.e., 60 minutes, distance travelled by my friend = 3 miles.

In 1 minute, distance travelled by my friend is

$\dfrac{3}{60}=\dfrac{1}{20}~\textup{miles}.$
