Answer:
X can be - 1/2 or 0.5
2x0.5=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is in y=mx+b format. The y is the final amount that you will have to pay. The m in this case is the amount of money that you are paying for each individual month (which is $34.99). The x in this case is the number of months you are paying for (which is 1). And b is the starting fee that you have to pay in order to get a membership in the first place (but will not have to pay after the first month). Thus, seeing as there is 1 month's worth of payment and a starting fee tagged on, y would equal the average total cost for the first month of a gym membership.
The answer to your question is D
.5 x 8= 4 pounds
.5 x 10=5 pounds
.5 x 12=6 pounds
.5 x 16=8 pounds
Answer:
(x, y) = (-0.6, 0.8) or (1, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the second equation to substitute for y in the first.
(x -1)² +((2x +2) -2)² = 4
x -2x +1 + 4x² = 4 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
5x² -2x -3 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4, collect terms
Now we can rearrange the middle term to ease factoring by grouping.
(5x² -5x) +(3x -3) = 0
5x(x -1) +3(x -1) = 0
(5x +3)(x -1) = 0
The values of x that make these factors zero are ...
x = -3/5, x = 1
The corresponding values of y are ...
y = 2(-3/5)+2 = 4/5 . . . . for x = -3/5
y = 2(1) +2 = 4 . . . . . . . . for x = 1
The solutions are: (x, y) = (-3/5, 4/5) or (1, 4).
