You are trying to find an x-value for which f(x) = g(x). At first your choice of x is arbitrary. In the given table, the first x-value tried was 0 (zero). For this value of x, f(x) does NOT equal g(x).
Next x was 1. f(x) and g(x) are even further apart here. So reject 1 and try 2 instead. Notice how f(x) and g(x) are closer together now than they were for x=1.
Note that for x=2.5, f(x) and g(x) are even closer together; ony 0.75 separates them.
Your turn. Try x=2.4, x=2.3, and so on. You may have to go in the other direction: Try x=2.6, x=2.7, and so on. If f(x) and g(x) are getting closer to one another, you're going in the right direction; if further apart, you're going in the wrong direction.
Have fun. This really is an interesting problem.
1 pizza should cost $5.65
Pizza is $5.65 then bottle of coke is $2.45
3 pizzas and coke: ($5.65*3) + $2.45 = $19.4
I solved this by setting up and solving a system of linear equations:
Variables: p = pizza, c = coke
p = c+3.2
3p+c = 19.4
Solve by substitution
3(c+3.2) + c = 19.4
4c+9.6 = 19.4
c = 2.45
Re-plug in:
p = 2.45+3.2
p = 5.65
Hey there!
Here is your answer:
The proper answer to this question (look below)
Reason:
First translate the problem into English:
<span><u>Multiples of 5 greater than 75:</u>
