Answer:

The cost of each bushes is $9.00

The cost of each bonsai trees is $32.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are

The amount the company paid for 15 bushes and 8 bonsai trees = $391

The amount for which the company purchased 9 more bushes and 5 more bonsai trees = $241

Let x represent the cost of each bushes and let y represent the cost of each Bonsai Trees, we have;

15 × x + 8 × y = 391...(1)

9 × x + 5 × y = 241...(2)

We make y the subject of both equations to get;

For equation (1), we have;

15·x + 8·y = 391

15·x + 8·y = 391

8·y = 391 - 15·x

y = 391/8 - 15/8·x

For equation (2), we have;

9 × x + 5 × y = 241

5·y = 241 - 9·x

y = 241/5 - 9/5·x

Equating both equations, gives;

391/8 - 15/8·x = 241/5 - 9/5·x

391/8 - 241/5 = 15/8·x - 9/5·x = 0.075·x

0.675 = 0.075·x

x = 0.675/0.075 = 9

x = 9

Therefore, the cost of each bushes = x = $9.00

From, y = 241/5 - 9/5·x, we have;

y = 241/5 - 9/5×9 = 32

y = 32

Therefore, the cost of each bonsai trees = y = $32.00

The height of a fireworks rocket in meters can be approximated by h= -5t^2+30t, where h is the height in meters and t is the tim
Crazy boy [7]

It takes 45 seconds. the easiest way to do these is to use a graphic calculator and replace the variables with x and y, for example, this equation would become -5x^2+30x, and if you don't have access to a graphing calculator, you can always use desmos online.

Which linear function represents the line given by the point slope equation y + 7= 2/3(x+6)
Andrews [41]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:   f(x) =   (2/3)*x -3   -- which is not a provided answer..


Discussion:


We are given that y + 7 = (2/3) * (x + 6). Multiply out the right hand side:


y + 7 = (2/3) * x + (2/3) * 6 = (2/3) *x + 12/3

        =   (2/3)*x + 4


Subtract 7 from both sides:

y + 7 - 7 = (2/3)*x + 4 - 7

or

y =  (2/3)*x -3



Thank you,

MrB


y + 7= 2/3(x+6)
