You are buying 2 items so let's use two different variables to represent each:
p = number of tubes of paint
b = number of disposable brushes
cost = price per item × number of items
Equations from information given:
4p + 0.50b = 20 ← from the first 2 sentences
2p = b ← if there are twice as many brushes as paint tubes you need 2 times paint tubes to equal number of brushes
Solve the problem by using substitution... 1b equals 2p so replace b with that:
4p + 0.50(2p) = 20
4p + 1p = 20 ← 0.50 is half so half of 2p is 1p
5p = 20 ← combine like terms
p = 4 ← divide both sides of the equation by 5
Recall the equation 2p = b replace p with 4
2(4) = b
8 = b
ANSWER:
You purchased 4 tubes of paint and 8 disposable brushes.
Y = x + 2
It starts out at (0,2) which means it needs to be up 2 from the parent graph (y = x). Then using the slope equation, the slope is 1
The answer to your equation is x=2.52
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the arrows on the graph, it appears that as the graph keep growing UP unbounded, it also keeps growing to the left unbounded (to negative infinity, to be exact). Looking to the right, it appears that as the graph decreases unbounded (the y values keep getting smaller), the graph keeps growing in the x direct to positive infinity. So the domain is
- ∞ < x < ∞
