Answer:

Cost of five blouses = $145

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = cost of blouse

y = cost of skirt

15x + 2y = 505 (1)

5x + 2y = 215 (2)

Subtract (2) from (1) to eliminate y

15x - 5x = 505 - 215

10x = 290

x = 290/10

x = 29

Substitute x = 29 into (2)

5x + 2y = 215 (2)

5(29) + 2y = 215

145 + 2y = 215

2y = 215 - 145

2y = 70

y = 70/2

y = 35

x = cost of blouse = $29

y = cost of skirt = $35

How much do 5 such blouses cost?

cost of a blouse = $29

Cost of five blouses = $29 × 5

= $145

Cost of five blouses = $145

Answer: 42 - 8x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question:

Jessica had $15. She bought 3 apples for x dollars each. Levi had $27 and bought 5 apples for x dollars each. Which expression represents how much money both Jessica and Levi have left altogether?

Select one:

27 – 5x

42 – 8x

12 – 2x

39 – 3x

From the question, Jessica had $15. She bought 3 apples for x dollars each. This means she had:

15 - (3 × x) = 15 - 3x

Levi had $27 and bought 5 apples for x dollars each. Levi will have:

27 - (5 × x) = 27 - 5x

The amount they'll have altogether will be the addition of their amount left. This will be:

15 - 3x + 27 - 5x

= 15 + 27 - 3x - 5x

= 42 - 8x

What is the range of the function shown on the graph above?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

D: 0 < y < 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is the input (i.e. the x values)

The range is the output (i.e. the y values)

So for the range, look at the y-coordinates of the end points of the line: (-6, 0) and (9, 7)  ⇒  0 < y < 7
