Answer: The second term of the expression which is 0.25x is the variable cost which is the extra amount paid for being late.

The expression 2 + 0.25x represents the amount that Ruth paid for the book.

It should be noted that the fixed cost is represented by 2 while the 0.25 represents the variable cost which is the late fee. Also, the x represented the number of days for being late.

In conclusion, the second term of the expression represents the amount that was charged for being late.

Y is equal to the additive inverse of 4x. Use this information to find the value of the expression 17x + 3y in terms of x.
nevsk [136]

Answer:

<h3>5x</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The additive inverse of a function is that value added that will sum it up to zero

If y is the  additive inverse of 4x, then y = -4x

Given the expression 17x+3y

Substitute y = -4x into the expression to have;

17x + 3(-4x)

17x -12x

5x

Hence the value of the expression in terms of x is 5x

grandymaker [24]
First you add 3/4 and 2/3 you but then do 3/4 2/3 you think what the both can go to is 12 the dominator is 12 then you time it by 3,4 because they both go to 12 then the 3 will be time 3 because 4 x 3 = 12 then you do it the top so 3x3 = 9 9/12 then you do the next one is2/3 do the same then will get 8/12 then you can subtract it 9/12 - 8/12 will gave you 1/12

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is \frac { 4 } { 4 9 }.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are to find the probability that both your parents were born on weekend (either Saturday or Sunday).

Total number of days in a week = 7

Number of days in weekend = 2

Probability of being born on weekend = \frac { 2 } { 7 }

P (both parents were born on weekend) = \frac{2}{7} \times \frac{2}{7} = 4/49
