Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi! So what we're gonna want to do here is set up a system of equations. Lets say x = regular baskets and y = deluxe baskets. You would set up the system like this:

28x + 24y = 1,188

28x + 13y = 836

So since the number before the x is the same in both equations, we are going to want to cancel that out.

28x + 24y = 1,188

-1(28x + 13y = 836)

----------------

28x + 24y = 1,188

-28x - 13y = -836

Add the two equations together! There will be no x value :)

11y = 352

y = 32... The deluxe basket is going to cost $32

Put the y value into one of the equations to solve for x.

28x + 13(32) = 836

28x + 416 = 836

28x = 420

x = 15... The regular basket will cost $15

Hope this helps!

Solve the equation. <br><br><br> 12=2+z/-6
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

\boxed{\bold{z=-60}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Switch Sides

\bold{2+\frac{z}{-6}=12}

Subtract 2 From Both Sides

\bold{2+\frac{z}{-6}-2=12-2}

Simplify

\bold{\frac{z}{-6}=10}

Multiply Both Sides By -6

\bold{\frac{z\left(-6\right)}{-6}=10\left(-6\right)}

Simplify

\bold{z=-60}

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

222.86

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>in order to solve this question you can create an equation :</u></h2>

35% * x = 78

where x is the original amount

in order to get x , you have to say :

78/ 35% = x

hence x = 222.8571...

to 2dp = 222.86

Which of the following is the graph of y=sqr root -x-3
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The graph in the attached figure

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y=\sqrt{-x-3}

we know that

The radicand must be greater than or equal to zero

so

(-x-3)\geq 0

solve for x

Adds 3 both sides

-x\geq 0+3

-x\geq 3

Multiply by -1 both sides

Remember that, when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol

x\leq -3

so

The domain of the function is the interval (-∞,-3]

For x=-3 ---> the value of y=0

The range is the interval {0,∞)

therefore

The graph in the attached figure
