Question 1 (1 point)
olya-2409 [2.1K]

For this case we can propose a system of equations:

x: Let the variable that represents the number of small cookies

y: Let the variable that represents the number of large cookies

According to the statement we have:

x + y = 130\\2x + 3y = 310

We multiply the first equation by -2:

-2x-2y = -260

We have the following equivalent system:

-2x-2y = -260\\2x + 3y = 310

We add the equations:

-2x + 2x-2y + 3y = -260 + 310\\y = 50

We look for the value of the variable "x":

x = 130-y\\x = 130-50\\x = 80

Answer:

They sold 80 small cookies and 50 large cookies

Identify the domain of the function shown in the graph.
beks73 [17]

The domain of a graph is all of the x-values of the graph.  Since the graph looks like it continues and never ends, every single x value is included in the domain, thereby making all reals the correct answer
