Answer:

1. $47.50 2. $48 3. Store A

Step-by-step explanation:

STORE A

1. $50* 0.05 = $2.50

$50 - $2.50 = $47.50

Store A sells the watch for $47.50

STORE B

2. $60 * 0.2 = $12

$60 - $12 = $48

Store B sells the watch for $48

WHICH STORE IS BETTER

6 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of oranges cost 24 dollars.5 pounds of apples and 4 pounds of oranges cost 23 dollars. Set up a

vitfil [10]

Answer:cost of each pound of apple= $3

And cost of each pound of orange =$2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let cost of apples = x

And cost of Oranges =y

Let 6 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of oranges cost 24 dollars be represented as

6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1

Also, Let 5 pounds of apples and 4 pounds of oranges cost 23 dollars be represented as

5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2

Step 2

6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1

5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2

Using substitution method to solve the equation

6 x + 3y= 24

24-6x=3y

y= 24-6x/3 = 8-2x

Y= 8-2x

Substituting the value of y= 8-2x into equation 2

5x+ 4( 8-2x)= 23

5x+ 32 -8x= 23

32-23= 8x-5x

9=3x

x=9/3

x=3

Putting the value of x= 3 in equation 1 and solving to find y

6 x + 3y= 24

6(3) +3y= 24

18+3y=24

3y= 24-18

3y=6

y=6/3= 2

Therefore the cost of each pound of apple= $3

And cost of each pound of orange =$2

What is the x-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola whose equation is y = 3x² + 9x?

saveliy_v [14]

Answer: -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis of symmetry, and thus the x-coordinate of the vertex, is given by $x=-\frac{b}{2a}$

So, the answer is $x=-\frac{9}{2(3)}=\boxed{-\frac{3}{2}}$

can anyone help me out here? I will pay you 20 points

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The ordered pair that makes an equation true is called a solution

a)solution

b) not a solution

c) solution

d) solution

e)not a solution

f) not a solution

g) solution

h) not a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The first number in an ordered pair is x, the second one is y

Plug in the numbers to x and y respectively

I'll give two examples so you know how to solve it

a) y=3x+1

-5=3(-2)+1

make sure you use pemdas (multiply first)

-5=-6+1

add

-5=-5

this is true (meaning it is a solution)

b) 6=3(-3) +1

6=-9+1

6 = -8

this is NOT true (not a solution)

Many newspapers carry a certain puzzle in which the reader must unscramble letters to form words. how many ways can the letters

Shtirlitz [24]

The letters wsilutawsiluta have 87178291200 unique combinations. Which we can find via the factorial rule (14x13x12... ect). There are no 14 letter words in english that contain this combination of letters (we can narrow the search by looking for 14 letter words with two W's of which none contain the same combination of letters). Ergo we can conclude the correct unscrambling is more than one word. The letters unscramble to spell 'lawsuit' twice. this is the only correct unscrambling (unless we allow the archaic word williwau). Thus there is a 1 in 87178291200 possibility of randomly unscrambling the letters
