Answer:

The number of each type in the pack is 5 of $0.45 comic books and 9 of $0.75 comic books

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of linear equations is a set of two or more equations of the first degree, in which two or more unknowns are related.

Solving a system of equations consists of finding the value of each unknown so that all the equations of the system are satisfied.

In this case, the unknowns or unknown variables are:

x: number of $ 0.45 comic books

y: number of $ 0.75 comic books

Jacques wants to make up packs of $0.45 comic books mixed with $0.75 ones to sell at $9.00 per pack.  Then the equation that represents this situation is:

x*0.45 + y*0.75= 9

On the other side, the number of $0.45 comic books is 4 more than the number of $0.75 comic books.  Then the equation that represents this situation is:

x+4=y

The system of equations to solve is:

\left \{ {{x*0.45+y*0.75=9} \atop {x+4=y}} \right.

One way to solve a system of equations is the substitution method, which consists of solving one of the unknowns in one of the equations and substituting its value in the next.

In this case we directly replace the expression of the variable and of the second equation in the first:

x*0.45 + (x+4)*0.75= 9

Solving:

x*0.45 + 0.75*x + 4*0.75= 9

1.2*x + 3=9

1.2*x= 9-3

1.2*x= 6

x= 6÷ 1.2

x=5

Replacing this value in the expression x+4=y you get:

5 +4=y

9=y

Can someone please help me??
Semmy [17]

since we don't know any of your vocabulary, I might not be using the ones you learned


since we have points A and B and points F(A) and F(B), I think they want us to use the word 'translation'

"The function F(x) translates each point to the right without moving them up or down." would be my description


also the 2 lines are paralell

Gary drove to the park at a rate of 50 miles per hour if it took him 2.5 hours to get from his house to the park how far away is
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The distance of the park from the Gary's house is 125 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of Gary = 50 miles/hour

Time taken by Gary to reach the park from his house = 2.5 hours

Now, we know that,

Distance travelled = speed × time

So,  distance between park and Gary's house = speed × time

= 50 × 2.5

= 125 miles

So, the park is 125 miles away from the Gary's house.
