Answer:

-81

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 8x -1

f(-10) = 8(-10) -1

f(-10) = -80-1

f(-10) = -81

Toby bought 8 hotdogs and 5 fries. It cost $34.00

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Each hot dog = $3

Each french fry = $2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, lets define our variables:

x = Hotdog

y = fries

Next, you need to set up a cost equation for both Toby and Bernie:

8x + 5y = 34

2x + 6y = 18

Now, we need to isolate one of the variable:

2x + 6y = 18

2x = 18 - 6y

x = 9 - 3y

Next, we need to insert this equation back into the first equation (8x+5y = 34) to find the cost of y (fries):

8x +5y = 34

8 (9-3y) + 5y = 34

72 - 24y + 5y = 34

72 - 19y = 34

19y = 38

y or fries = $2

Finally, we need to find the cost of each hotdog by using the cost of fries ($2) in one of the formulas:

2x + 6y = 18

2x + 6(2) = 18

2x + 12 = 18

2x = 6

x or hotdog = $3

I hope this helps!

Joe earns $14 an hour and Blaine earns $18 per hour. Joe receives a raise of $1.75 every six months, and Blaine receives a raise

Katarina [22]

After 4 interval of six months, Joe to earn same hourly rate as Blaine

Solution:

Given that,

Amount earned by Joe = $ 14 per hour

Amount earned by Blaine = $ 18 per hour

Lets assume the number of six month intervals be "x"

Joe receives a raise of $1.75 every six months

Therefore,

Joe earning: 14 + 1.75(number of six month intervals)

Equation for Joe earning: 14 + 1.75x ------- eqn 1

Blaine receives a raise of $0.75 every six months

Therefore,

Blaine earning: 18 + 0.75(number of six month intervals)

Equation for Blaine earning: 18 + 0.75x ------------ eqn 2

The number of six-month intervals it will take Joe to earn the same hourly rate as Blaine,

Eqn 1 must be equal to eqn 2

$14+1.75x = 18+0.75x\\\\1.75x-0.75x = 18-14\\\\1x = 4\\\\x = 4$

Thus after 4 interval of six months, Joe to earn same hourly rate as Blaine.

Solve equation 3x-5y=7 5x-2y=-1 by elimination

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

x = -1, y = -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the elimination method,

multiply the first eqn by 2 and the 2nd eqn by 5.

6x - 10y = 14

25x - 10y = -5

Subtract one of the new equations from the other

-19x = 19

x = -1

Sub x=-1 into the 2nd eqn

-5 - 2y = -1

y = -2

Hence x = -1, y = -2.

The diameter of cold virus cell is about 3x10-9 meter,and the diameter of a streptoccus bacterium cell is about 9x10-7 meter. Wh

Archy [21]

Here we need to compare the orders of magnitude of two measures.

We will see that the bacteria is 300 times larger than the virus.

We know that:

The diameter of the virus-cell is:

$D_v = 3 \cdot 10^{-9} m$

The diameter of the bacteria cell is:

$D_b = 9 \cdot 10^{-7} m$

So, to compare them, first notice that both are in the same units, meters, so we only need to compare the numbers.

Is common sense to identify the one with the largest exponent as the largest number, and the largest exponent is -7, thus the bacteria should be the larger one.

But let's prove this with math, remember the property:

$\frac{a^n}{a^m} = a^{n - m}$

Let's take the quotient between the diameters and see what we get, I will use the diameter of the bacteria in the numerator, thus if the quotient is larger than 1, it would mean that the bacteria is greater and by how much.

$quotient = \frac{ 9 \cdot 10^{-7} m}{ 3 \cdot 10^{-9} m} = \frac{9}{3} \cdot 10^{-7 + 9}\\\\= 3*10^2$

So we can say that the bacteria is 3*10^2 = 3*100 = 300 times larger than the virus.
