The number of white sweatshirts is 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ordered black shirts be represented by b

Let ordered white shirts be represented by w

So total sweatshirts will be represented by the equation

b+w=50

The total cost of the ordered sweatshirts will be represented by

10b + 12 w= $556

For simultaneous equations as;

b+w=50

10b+12w=556

solving the equations using substitution method where b=50-w

10(50-w)+12w=556

500-10w+12w=556

-10w+12w=556-500

2w=56

w=56/2= 28

b=50-w=50-28=24

Number of white sweatshirts is 28

Which steps transform the graph of

vitfil [10]

Answer:

The correct option is the last one.

Step-by-step explanation:

To transform the graph of $y = x ^ 2$ into $y = -2(x - 2) ^ 2 + 2$ the following steps are fulfilled:

1) Move the graph 2 units to the right:

Let $y = f (x-2)$ then $y =(x-2) ^ 2$ Notice that the cut point has been moved to x = 2.

2) Reflect on the x axis:

To reflect a graph on the x-axis we do $y = -f(x)$ Then $f (x) = -(x-2) ^ 2$

3) Stretch according to factor 2.

For this we do $y = 2f(x)$

Then we have $f(x) = -2 (x-2) ^ 2$

4) Move up the graph in two units:

We do $y = f(x) +2$

Then $y = -2(x-2) ^ 2 +2.$

These steps coincide with those listed in the last option. Therefore the correct option is the last one.

"Translate 2 units on the right, reflect on the x-axis, stretch according to the factor 2 and translate 2 units"
