4x+7y=4.88 -> mult by -3 -> -12x-21y=-14.64
12x+8y=7.88
-12x-21y=-14.64
Add the two above equations together, the y will be left:
-13y=-6.76
y=0.52 —> cost of each apple (plug back into one of original equations, I chose 4x+7y=4.88:
4x+7(0.52)=4.88
Solve for x.
x=0.31 —> cost of each orange

Suppose that the functions s and t are defined for all real numbers x as follows.

Answer:

(s.t)(x) = 4x^2+24x^2\\(s-t)(x) = x+6-4x^2\\(s+t)(-3) = 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Given functions are:

s(x)= x+6\\t(x)= 4x^2

We have to find:

(s.t)(x) => this means we have to multiply the two functions to get the result.

So,

(s.t)(x) = s(x)*t(x)\\= (x+6)(4x^2)\\=4x^2.x+4x^2.6\\=4x^3+24x^2

Also we have to find

(s-t)(x) => we have to subtract function t from function s

(s-t)(x) = s(x) - t(x)\\= (x+6) - (4x^2)\\=x+6-4x^2

Also we have to find,

(s+t)(-3) => first we have to find sum of both functions and then put -3 in place of x

(s+t)(x) = s(x)+t(x)\\= x+6+4x^2

Putting x = -3

= -3+6+4(-3)^2\\=-3+6+4(9)\\=3+36\\=39

Hence,

(s.t)(x) = 4x^2+24x^2\\(s-t)(x) = x+6-4x^2\\(s+t)(-3) = 39

Plz answer with explanation will give brainliest
maksim [4K]

Answer:

B: |8| + (-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are looking for the distance between two numbers, always add. The distance between 8 and -7 is 15 (|8| = 8). If, for instance, the answer was negative, which it is now, just find the absolute value of -15 which equals 15. The answer is B.
