Answer:

Cost of one notebook is 1.40 and one pen is1.40andonepenis0.90

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Notebook = x

Pen = y

According to given statements;

\begin{gathered}Multiplying\ Eqn\ 1\ by\ 4\ and Eqn\ 2\ by\ 5\\4(5x+4y=10.60)\\20x+16y=42.40 \ \ \ Eqn\ 3\\ 5(4x+3y=8.30)\\20x+15y=41.50 \ \ \ Eqn\ 4\\Subtracting\ Eqn\ 4\ from\ Eqn\ 3\\(20x+16y)-(20x+15y)=42.40-41.50\\20x+16y-20x-15y=0.90\\y=0.90\\Putting\ value\ of\ y\ in\ Eqn\ 1\\5x+4(0.90)=10.60\\5x+3.60=10.60\\5x=10.60-3.60\\5x=7\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 5\\\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{7}{5}\\x=1.40\end{gathered}Multiplying Eqn 1 by 4 andEqn 2 by 54(5x+4y=10.60)20x+16y=42.40   Eqn 35(4x+3y=8.30)20x+15y=41.50   Eqn 4Subtracting Eqn 4 from Eqn 3(20x+16y)−(20x+15y)=42.40−41.5020x+16y−20x−15y=0.90y=0.90Putting value of y in Eqn 15x+4(0.90)=10.605x+3.60=10.605x=10.60−3.605x=7Dividing both sides by 555x=57x=1.40

If you shift the linear parent function, (X) = x down 6 units, what is the
jeka94

Answer:

<h2>C. g(x) = x - 6</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

For a parent function y = f(x) and n > 0:

f(x) + n : move the graph n units up

f(x) - n : move the graph n units down

f(x + n) : move the graph n units to the left

f(x - n) : move the graph n units to the right

===================================================

We have

f(x) = x

Transformation: 6 units down

f(x) - 6 = x - 6

A store has apples on sale for $20.00 for 8 pounds. If an apple is approximately 5 ounces, how many apples can you buy for $80.0
torisob [31]

Answer:

In $80.00 , we get 102 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given, 8 pound apples costs = $20.00

so,

If we double the cost given , then we get double the times of apple given

⇒ we get 16 pound apple for = $40.00

Again, double the cost , gets double the apple

⇒ we get 32 pound apple for = $80.00

As,

1 pound= 16 ounces

⇒32 pound apple = 32×16 = 512 ounces

Now,

given that

1 apple = 5 ounces

⇒5 ounce = 1 apple

⇒1 ounce = \frac{1}{5} apple

⇒512 ounces = \frac{1}{5} ×512 = 102.4 ≈ 102 apples

∴ we get

In $80.00 , we get 102 apples.
