Answer:

$15.5

Step-by-step explanation:

let a = price of one orchid plant

8 orchids would cost 8 x a = 8a

12 orchids would cost 12 x a = 12a

Let b = price of one lily plant

12 lilies would cost 12 x b = 12b

8 lilies would cost 8 x b = 8b

8a + 12b = 362 -- eqn 1

12a + 8b = 388 -- eqn 2

to solve, multiply equation 1 by 8 and equation 2 by 12

64a + 96b = 2896 equation 3

144a + 96b = 4656 equation 4

substract equation 4 from 3

80a = 1760

a = $22

Substitute for a in eqn 1 and solve for b

8(22) + 12b = 362

b = $15.5

Which equation shows a valid step in solving /2x-6+2x+6=0?
AfilCa [17]

An equation which shows a valid step that can be used to solve the given mathematical equation is (\sqrt[3]{2x - 6})^3 = (-\sqrt[3]{2x + 6})^3

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation simply refers to a mathematical expression that can be used to show the relationship existing between two (2) or more numerical quantities.

In this exercise, you're required to show a valid step which can be used to solve the given mathematical equation. Since both equations are having a cube root, the first step is to take the cube of both sides.

Take the cube of both sides, we have:

\sqrt[3]{2x - 6} + \sqrt[3]{2x + 6} = 0\\\\(\sqrt[3]{2x - 6})^3 + (\sqrt[3]{2x + 6})^3 = 0^3\\\\(\sqrt[3]{2x - 6})^3 = (-\sqrt[3]{2x + 6})^3

Find the domain of the following piecewise function.
il63 [147K]

Answer:

(2,8]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached piece wise function

Required

The domain

To do this, we simply consider the inequalities that bound the values of x.

The inequalities are:

2 < x < 4     4 < x < 8   and   x \ge 8

Combine the first two inequalities:

2 < x < 8    and   x \ge 8

For the inequality to be true, we must have:

2 < x \le 8

In interval notation, the inequality is:
