Given:
The function for size of a square frame is

where, x is the side length of the picture.
The function for the price in dollars for the frame is

To find:
The single function for the price of a picture with an edge length of x.
Solution:
We know that, for a picture with an edge length of x.
Size of a square frame = f(x)
Price in dollars for the frame = p(x)
Single function for the price of a picture with an edge length of x is

![[\because f(x)=x+2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cbecause%20f%28x%29%3Dx%2B2%5D)
![[\because p(x)=3x]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cbecause%20p%28x%29%3D3x%5D)
Let the name of this function is c(x). So,

Therefore, the required function is
.
Answer:
2. Unit rate: 36/3 = $12
3. $36 for 3 tickets
Bkz 25/2 = 12.5 vs 26/3 = 12
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
25 - 3x = -5(1 - x) - 2x
<u></u>
<u>We have to first get rid of the parenthesis:</u>
==> -5
==> 5x
<u>So now you should have:</u>
25 - 3x = -5 + 5x - 2x
<u>Combine like terms:</u>
25 - 3x = -5 + 5x - 2x
25 - 3x = -5 + 3x
<u>Add 3x to both sides:</u>
25 - 3x = -5 + 3x
+ 3x = + 3x
<u>And you should have:</u>
25 = -5 + 6x
<u></u>
<u>Add 5 to both sides:</u>
25 = -5 + 6x
+5 = +5
30 = 6x
<u>Divide 6 to both sides:</u>
= 
5 = x
Just do 30%x179,000 and that will be the answer the equation is V (for value) V=53,700t
Answer:
3x+4 Ralph is currently 12 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the equation by reading the scenario given. When you read it, it says that Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara and since her current age is going to be used to represent x you will first get 3x. That automatically eliminates the second and third choice given. It then says the equation is for Ralph's age in four years which means to add four to the equation. This gives you 3x+4 as your equation.
When something is tripled and then in a few years it is doubled, it is easiest to first try the number that is being added. So in this case the number is four. When you multiply 4 by 3 you get 12. If Sara is 4 she'll turn eight in four years and if Ralph is 12 he'll turn 16 in four years. 16 divided by 2 is 8 which shows you that Ralph is currently 12
