For this Question use the substitution method.

5x+2y = $48 ------First Equation.
3x+2y = $32 ------ Second Equation

x= 48-2y/ 5 ( 48-2y divided by 5)

Put the value of x in the second equation.

3(48-2y/5)+2y = $32
 (144-6y/5) + 2y = $32
Take L.C.M 
144-6y+10y/5 = $32
144+4y = 32*5
144+4y = 160
4y = 160-144
4y = 16
y = 4
Now put the value of y in any equation.
5x+2(4) = $48
5x+8 = $48
5x = 48-8
5x = 40
x = 8
-------------------------
A Dress costs $8 and a belt costs $ 4.

What can you say about the y-values of the two functions f(x)=3^(x)-3 g(x)=7x^2-3
Mice21 [21]

Answer: g(x) has the smallest possible y-value of -3

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

f(x) = 3ˣ - 3   <em>This is an exponential graph shifted down three units. So, it has an asymptote at y = -3, which means it approaches -3 but does not touch it.</em>

Range: y > 3   (-3, ∞)

   g(x) = 7x² - 3  

⇒ g(x) = 7(x - 0)² - 3   <em>This is a parabola with vertex at (0, -3) </em>

Range: y ≥ 3   [-3, ∞)

The area of a circular garden is 4,225 T square feet. Rick wants to find the diameter of the garden. What is the diameter of
ankoles [38]

Answer:

D.  130 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Data</u>

  • The area of a circular garden is 4,225 π square feet

The area of a circle is computed as follows:

Area of a circle = π*D²/4

where D refers to the diameter

Replacing with data:

4,225 π = π*D²/4

4,225 π/π *4 = D²

√16900 = D

130 ft = D
