Answer:

5 felt pads.

7 cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The total number of items is 12
So let the felt sheets be x
Let the cards = y

Equations and Solution

x + y = 12

Now the price is 7.75 that she has to pay for the 12 items. She wants to come back with 0 dollars.

0.5x + 0.75y = 7.75 Multiply this equation by 2

x + 1.5y = 15.50 write the first equation underneath and subtract.

x + y = 12

.5y = 3 Divide by 0.5

y = 3/0.5

y = 7

So she can get 7 cards.

x + y = 12

x + 7 = 12

x = 12 - 7

x = 5

So she can buy 5 felt pads.

Answer:

The formula for calculating the width of the window is

$w=\frac{-(-3)(+/-)\sqrt{-3^{2}-4(1)(2)}} {2(1)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question in English is

A rectangular window is l meters wide and h meters high, with a perimeter of 6 meters and an area of 2m². What is the formula for calculating the width of the window?

we know that

The perimeter of the window is equal to

$P=2(l+w)$

we have

$P=6\ m$

$6=2(l+w)$

simplify

$3=(l+w)$

isolate the variable l

$l=3-w$ ----> equation A

The area of the window is equal to

$A=lw$

we have

$A=2\ m^2$

$2=lw$ ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

$2=(3-w)w$

solve for w

$2=3w-w^2$

$w^2-3w+2=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$w^2-3w+2=0$

$a=1\\b=-3\\c=2$

substitute in the formula

$w=\frac{-(-3)(+/-)\sqrt{-3^{2}-4(1)(2)}} {2(1)}$ ---> formula for calculating the width of the window

$w=\frac{3(+/-)\sqrt{1}} {2}$

$w=\frac{3(+/-)1} {2}$

$w=\frac{3(+)1} {2}=2\ m$

$w=\frac{3(-)1} {2}=1\ m$

Find the inverse f(x) = 4x+2

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Let's solve for x.

y=4x+2

Step 1: Flip the equation.

4x+2=y

Step 2: Add -2 to both sides.

4x+2+−2=y+−2

4x=y−2

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4=y−2/4

x=1/4y+ −1/2

Answer:

x=1/4y+ −1/2
