Answer:

One notebook is $3.00

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = $12

1x + 3y = $11

Add -3y to the second equation

x = 11 - 3y

Substitute ( 11 - 3y ) for x in 3x + 2y = 12

3 ( 11 - 3y ) + 2y = 12

33 - 9y + 2y = 12

33 - 7y = 12

Add -33 to each side

-7y = -21

Divide each side by -7

y = 3

substitute 3 for y in x = 11 - 3y

x = 11 - 3(3)

x = 11 -9

x = 2

One notebook is $3.00

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

the reason why is because if you put 3 dollars in for the notebooks right you have 3x3=9 and that one pen will be 2 dollars. Now you have 3×2=6 and then the two notebooks will be 6 and you add that and get 12. Hope this helps

Answer: 170

Step-by-step explanation: Like I answered before: Angle G and Angle H are consecutive angles, meaning they both add up to 180 degrees. Thus, if 10 is the value of Angle G, Angle H must be 170.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer: After 7 years the number of birds of species A and B are same. and the number of birds during that year will be 140.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Sharon is conducting research on two species of birds at a bird sanctuary.

The number of birds of species A is represented by the equation below,where S represents the number of birds, x years after beginning her research.

S=2^x+12

The number of birds of species B is represented by the equation below,where S represents the number of birds, x years after beginning her research.

S=15x+35

To plot the above function, first find points by which they are passing.

For species A, At x=0 , S=1+12=13

At x=2 , S=2+12=14

Similarly find more points and plot curve on graph.

For species A, At x=0 , S=0+35=35

At x=2 , S=15+35=50

Plot a line with the help of these two points.

Now, from the graph the intersection of curve (for A) and line (for B) is at (7,140) which tells that After 7 years the number of birds of species A and B are same. and the number of birds during that year will be 140.

To complete the square, how do you find the value that must be added to the expression to make a perfect square trinomial? What
Molodets [167]
Take half of the coefficient of x (which is 2/5) and square it:

[ (1/2)(2/5) ]^2 = (1/5)^2 = 1/25, or 0.04

Thus, to rewrite x^2 + (2/5)x to include a perfect square trinomial,

x^2 + (2/5)x  = x^2 + (2/5)x + (1/5)^2 - (1/5)^2, or

                 (x+1/5)^2 - (1/5)^2, or (x + 1/5)^2 - 1/25
