Answer:

12 blueberries and 4 strawberries

Step-by-step explanation:

We can try the guess method.

3:1      3 + 1 = 4     4 is too low. We need a sum of 16.

Multiply both numbers in the ratio by 2.

6:2     6 + 2 = 8   8 is still too low

Multiply both numbers in the ratio by 4.

12:4    12 + 4 = 16    16 is correct.

Answer: 12 blueberries and 4 strawberries

Given the function f(x) = 3x + 1 what is f(-2)?
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(-2) means that -2 is going to be our input in this function.

To solve this, simply substitute -2 for x in the expression given.

If f(x) = 3x+1, then f(-2) = 3(-2) + 1

3(-2)+1 = -6+1 = -5

Hope this helped!

What is the range of the function g(x) = 3x^2 - 6x + 3 when the domain is defined as the set of integers, x, such that 0<=x&l
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Range is  3 <= g(x) <= 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

The range  is the values of g(x) for the given domain.

When x = 0 g(x) = 3(0)^2 - 6(0) + 3 = 3.

When x = 4 g(x) = 3(4)^2 - 6(4) + 3 =  27.

Simplify (3x+2)(x-7)
vovangra [49]
The answer is
3 {x}^{2}  - 19x - 14
first you must multiply or use the FOIL method (First, Outer, Inner, Last)
First you multiply the first terms
(3x)(x)
this gives you 3x^2, then you multiple the outer terms
( - 7)(3x)
this gives you -21x, then you multiply the inner terms
(2)(x)
that gives you 2x, finally you multiply the last terms
(2)( - 7)
that gives you 14, now you combine like terms
- 21x + 2x =  - 19x
now you put all the terms together and end up with your solution
3 {x}^{2}  - 19x - 14

7) A photo booth charges a $500 fee for two hours at a party, plus $50 per additional hour. Cindy doesn't want to spend more tha
jeyben [28]

Since the photo booth charges a $500 fee for two hours at the party and an additional 50 dollars per hour, we have:

50x+500=C

Where x is the hours stayed and C is the total cost. Since Cindy doesn't want to spend more than 700 dollars, we have:

50x+500=700 \implies\\ 50x=200\implies\\ x=4

So she spent an additional 4 hours on the rental.
