Answer:

The cost of each:

1 cheese slice = c = $3.75

1 pepperoni slice = p = $2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost:

1 cheese slice = c

1 pepperoni slice = p

Two friends are going to the mall to buy pizza.

One of the friends buys 1cheese slice and 2 pepperoni slices for $8.75.

c + 2p = $8.75.....Equation 1

c = $8.75 - 2p

Her friend purchases 2 chese slices and 3 pepperoni slices for $15.00.

2c + 3p = $15.00.....Equation 2

We substitute 8.75 - 2p for c in Equation 2

2(8.75 - 2p) + 3p = $15.00

17.5 - 4p + 3p = 15

Collect like terms

- 4p + 3p = 15 - 17.5

-p = -2.5

p = $2.5

c = $8.75 - 2p

c = $8.75 - 2(2.5)

c = $8.75 - 5.0

c = $3.75

The cost of each:

1 cheese slice = c = $3.75

1 pepperoni slice = p = $2.5

Determine whether each function is linear or quadratic. Identify the quadratic, linear, and constant terms. g(x)=-2 x²-3(x-2)
valentinak56 [21]

   The function g(x) is a quadratic function:

  • Its quadratic term is -2x²
  • Its linear term is - 3x
  • Its constant is 6

<h3>What are functions?</h3>

 Functions are algebraic expressions that have at least two variables, in order to make their visual representation through a graph and evaluate their behavior.

 This problem deals with linear or quadratic functions, and these differ in the degree of the exponent of the variable:

  1 : linear

  2 : quadratic

  The function:

g(x) = -2x² - 3(x- 2).

g(x) = -2x² - 3x + 6 , we have a quadratic function.

  • Its quadratic term is -2x²
  • Its linear term is - 3x
  • Its constant is 6

Why not?<br> If 4 + 6 = 10, does (4 + 6) X 3 = 10 X 3? Why<br> or why not?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

It would be 10*3

Step-by-step explanation:

If we follow the rule of BIDMAS or BODMAS, they both have Brackets to be done first.

By meaning we must do 4+6 as it is in the bracket. Then we multiply our answer by 3.
