Answer:

7 bottles of paint and 15 canvases

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm letting x stand for the number of bottles of paint and y stand for the number of canvases

1.29x+1.89y=37.38

and y=x+8

Since the y value is isolated I can just substitute the right side of the y= equation into the original like so

1.29x+1.89(x+8)=37.38

I then distributed the 1.89 to each of the terms in the parentheses

1.29x+1.89x+15.12=37.38

I then combined like terms to get

3.18x+15.12=37.38

Then you subtract 15.12 from both sides to get

3.18x=22.26

and last we divide both sides by 3.18 to get

x=7

Now that we have x, we still need to solve for y, so I take the original equation y=x+8 and substitute in the value we solved for x to get

y=7+8

y=15

Don't forget the labels you gave each variable earlier in the problem when answering!

A plumber chargers $50 for a service call plus $75 per hour. The total of these costs (in dollars) is a function C(t) of the tim
STatiana [176]
So cost=50+75t
so 200=50+75t
subtract 50 from both sides
150=75t
divide both sides by 75
2=t
$200=2 hours

50+75t=cost
300=50+75t
subtract 50 from both sides
250=75t
divide both sides by 75
10/3=t=200 mins=3hours 20 mins=$300

How to find domain and range of a parabola?
german
The domain is the value of x, the range is the value of y.
A parabola opens infinitely to the right and left, so x can be any number, the domain is all real numbers
Vertically, however, a parabola opens only one way, either upward or downward. when it opens upward from a a certain level, say, the lower point (the vertex) has a y coordinate of 2, we say the range is all real numbers larger than or equal to 2, or y≥2. When it opens downward, we say the range is all real numbers smaller or equal to 2, y≤2
