Cost for a carnation is $0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Rose = x

Carnation = y

According to given statement;

8x+5y=31.75   Eqn 1

x+3y=5.75   Eqn 2

Multiplying\ Eqn\ 2\ by\ 8\\8(x+3y=5.75)\\8x+24y=46 \ \ \ Eqn\ 3\\Subtracting\ Eqn\ 1\ from\ Eqn\ 3\\(8x+24y)-(8x+5y)=46-31.75\\8x+24y-8x-5y=14.25\\19y=14.25\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 19\\\frac{19y}{19}=\frac{14.25}{19}\\y=0.75

Cost for a carnation is $0.75

Finding Slope, please help
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

y = 1/3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the slope of 1/3, and the point (-3, -2): we can plug these values into the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b where:

m = slope

b = y-coordinate of the y-intercept, (0, <em>b</em>)

y = mx + b

-2 = 1/3(-3) + b

-2 = -1 + b

Add 1 to both sides to solve for b:

-2 + 1 = -1 + 1 + b

-1 = b

The y-intercept is b = -1.

Therefore, given the slope, m = 1/3, and y-intercept, b = -1:

the linear equation in slope-intercept form is:

y = 1/3x - 1

The V(t)=1.50(1.17)^t represents the value V (t), in dollars, of a comic book t years after its purchase in 2000. Determine the
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Growth rate is 17%

2025 value is $76

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to determine the annual growth rate

The general equation form is;

F = l( 1 + r)^n

where F is the future value

I is the initial value

r is the growth rate

n is the numbering years

To get the growth rate, we simply equate what we have in the bracket to 1 + r

Thus;

1 + r = 1.17

r = 1.17-1

r = 0.17

0.17 is same as 17/100 which is same as 17%

Secondly, we want to get the value of the book in 2025

What we have to do here is to substitute (2025-2000) for t which is 25

We have;

V(t) = 1.50(1.17)^25

V(25) = 75.986 which is approximately 76
