Answer:

C. The cost of a box of cereal

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, we are given the number of 3 boxes of cereal, 2 loaves of bread, and that the total cost is $15. We can see these numbers in the equation, and putting it into context, we see that the 15 is on the right side of the equation, which indicates cash. Therefore, the 3 and 2 are accounted for, but their prices are unknown. X is a placeholder for the unidentified cost of a box of cereal, and we know that it's the boxes of cereal and not the loaves of bread because there are 3 and not 2.

kipiarov [429]
T(1) = 3, t(n) = -2t(n-1) + 1
So t(2) = -2(t(1)) + 1 = -2(3) + 1 = -5
t(3) = -2(t(2)) +1 = -2(-5) +1 = 11
t(4) = -2(t(3)) +1 = -2(11) +1 = -21
t(5) = -2(t(4)) +1 = -2(-21) +1 = 43

A taxi charges a pick-up fee p!us a charge per mile. Maria paid $15.00 for a 7 mile rode. To my paid $19.50 for a 10 mile ride.
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The y-intercept in coordinate form is (0, 4.5) and represents the taxi pick-up fee.  The equation is y=1.5x + 4.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking for the slope and y-intercept of a linear equation.  A linear equation makes a straight line based on a constant rate of change.  For this problem, the cost per mile is the slope, while the independent variable 'x' is the number of miles and the dependent variable 'y' is the total cost.  In order to first find slope, you need to use the two points given (7, 15) and (10, 19.5) to set up a change in y / change in x, or (19.5-15)/(10-7) or 4.5/3 which is 1.5.  So the slope, or cost per mile is $1.50.  To find the y-intercept (b), or the cost of the pick-up fee, simply fill in your equation y=1.5x + b with your other variables and solve for 'b'.  So, 15 = (1.5 x7) + b.  or 15 = 10.5 +b, subtract 10.5 from both sides of the equation to get b=4.5.

suppose the annual rate of inflation average 3.8% over the next 10 years. the present cost of oil change for tour car is $23.95.
Mariana [72]
If the annual rate in 10 years has the same quadralaterical value the answer would be 47.9 but we can make sure our answer is correct
what we know:

The cost changed in 10 years to 23.95

if the cost changed another 10 years it would be another 23.95, 23.95+23.95=47.9 Which is our answer pls mark brainliest
