The answer would be p= -2
To check it:
-2(5(-2) - 3) = 26
-2(-10-3) = 26
-2(-13) = 26
26 = 26
Let cheese wafers = x
chocolate wafers = y
we know they bought 20 total packets so x+y = 20, this can be re-written as x = 20-y
cheese wafers cost 2, so we have 2x
chocolate wafers cost 1, so we have 1y, which is just the letter y
so we know 2x + y = $25
replace x with x=20-y to get:
2(20-y)+y = 25
distribute the parenthesis:
40-2y +y = 25
combine like to terms to get:
40-y = 25
subtract 40 from each side"
-y = -15
divide both sides by -1
y = 15
chocolate wafers was y so they bought 15 chocolate wafers
cheese wafers was x, so they bought 20-15 = 5 cheese wafers
using the substitution method was the easiest way to isolate one of the variables in order to find the solution.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
For functions to be inverse, it must be true that f( g(x) ) = x and g( f(x) ) = x.
But for F( G(x) ), we have √( G(x) - 3 ) + 8
= √( (x+8)² - 3 - 3 ) + 8
= √( (x+8)² - 6 ) + 8
This -6 part should be cancelled out for functions to work out but we cannot do that, therefore F(x) and G(x) are not inverse.
Answer:27
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
6 (y + 8) (y - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the following:
6 y^2 + 42 y - 48
Factor 6 out of 6 y^2 + 42 y - 48:
6 (y^2 + 7 y - 8)
The factors of -8 that sum to 7 are 8 and -1. So, y^2 + 7 y - 8 = (y + 8) (y - 1):
Answer: 6 (y + 8) (y - 1)
PS: it's really helpful to pose the question correctly 6 y^2 + 42 y - 48 NOT
6y 2 - 48 + 42y
