What you can say is:
2 choices for the first one (metals)
5 choices for the second choice stemming off of all the possible first choices (gems)
2 choices stemming off of all those combinations (shape)
So basically it would be:
2 * 5 * 2
Which is equal to 20.
Answer:
A quadratic (equation or expression) involves the second and no higher power of an unknown quantity or variable.
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic formula is derived from the General form of a quadratic equation :
ax+bx+c=0
using completing the square method.

Answer:
The answer is what it is.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept form is <em>y</em><em> = </em><em>mx</em> + <em>b</em>, where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>b</em> is the <em>y</em>-intercept. To write this in slope-intercept form we must isolate the <em>y</em>:
2x + 3y = 1470
2x + 3y - 2x = 1470 - 2x (subtraction will cancel the positive 2x on the left side of the equation)
3y = -2x + 1470 (since they are not like terms we cannot combine them, we leave them separate)
3y/3 = -2/3x + 1470/3 (cancel the 3 by dividing; EVERYTHING gets divided to keep it equal)
y = -2/3x + 490
The slope of this equation is -2/3 and the <em>y</em>-intercept is 490.
To graph this equation, plot 490 on the <em>y</em>-axis first, since it is the intercept. Then count over to the right 3 and down 2 to find the next point; continue this for all successive points.
In function notation this would be <em>f</em>(<em>x</em>) = -2/3<em>x</em> + 490. This function shows how the profit on wrap specials changes as the number of sandwich specials sold increases. The graph of the function is attached.
The next month, when Sal's profit increased, the function changes because the <em>y</em>-intercept changes. The slope stays the same.
