Answer:

D. 48

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know the numbers of coupons sent to existing members and to potential members, but we know a relationship between the number.

They sent 5 times as many coupons to potential members as they did to existing members.

Let x = number of coupons sent to existing members.

Then 5x = number of coupons sent to potential members.

The total number of coupons sent was x + 5x = 6x

The total number of coupons sent was 288.

Therefore, 6x must equal 288 giving us an equation with a single variable.

6x = 288

x = 48

Answer: 48

What is the slope of all lines perpendicular to the line y=(2/3)x+7
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The slope is -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>A line that is perpendicular to another has the slope that has the sign reversed and is the reciprocal. </u>

Example:  Find the line perpendicular to y = 3x

First, you flip the sign which makes 3 into -3

Next, you make the reciprocal which makes -3 into <u>-1/3 </u>

Problem:  Find the line perpendicular to y = (2/3)x + 7

First, you flip the sign which makes 2/3 into -2/3

Next, you make the reciprocal which makes -2/3 into <u>-3/2</u>

Answer:  The slope is -3/2

Two apples and three peaches cost $1.65. three apples and two peaches cost $1.60. what is the cost of one peach
marta [7]
Apples = $.30
Peaches = $.60

You can get this by setting up a system of equations that looks like this. 

2x + 3y = 1.65
3x + 2y = 1.60

Where x is the amount of apples and y is the number of peaches. Then you can solve using any of the methods (I would suggest elimination for ease).
