Answer:
C: x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest way to do this is to simply try all of the x-vales given as options.
Option 1: x = -1
Since 
, we'll use the first equation.
As we can see, g(-1) is not -4.
Option 2: x = 3
Since 
, we'll use the 2nd equation.
Not -4.
Option 3: x = 7
Since 
, we'll use the 3rd equation.
Tada! We have found a number such that g(x) = -4, it is 7. Since we only need to find a number, not all numbers, we don't have to check the last option. However, if you're curious:
Option 4: x = 4
Since 
(less than <em>or equal to</em>), we'll use the 3rd equation.
L*w=A
l*9=3
(l*9)/9=3/9
l=1/3 of a meter.
Answer:
p= 2.5
q= 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The lines should overlap to have infinite solutions, slopes should be same and y-intercepts should be same.
Equations in slope- intercept form:
6x-(2p-3)y-2q-3=0 ⇒ (2p-3)y= 6x -2q-3 ⇒ y= 6/(2p-3)x -(2q+3)/(2p-3)
12x-( 2p-1)y-5q+1=0 ⇒ (2p-1)y= 12x - 5q+1 ⇒ y=12/(2p-1)x - (5q-1)/(2p-1)
Slopes equal:
6/(2p-3)= 12/(2p-1)
6(2p-1)= 12(2p-3)
12p- 6= 24p - 36
12p= 30
p= 30/12
p= 2.5
y-intercepts equal:
(2q+3)/(2p-3)= (5q-1)/(2p-1)
(2q+3)/(2*2.5-3)= (5q-1)/(2*2.5-1)
(2q+3)/2= (5q-1)/4
4(2q+3)= 2(5q-1)
8q+12= 10q- 2
2q= 14
q= 7
Let x = Initial Price
If we increase x by 5%, we are adding 0.05x
Therefore, the new price = x + 0.05x = 1.05x
If the ticket has increased by £2.30, £2.30 is 5% of the initial price, or 0.05x
0.05x = 2.30
x = 2.30/0.05
x = 46
Therefore, the price of the ticket before the increase was £46
You can also check this backwards by doing 46*0.05 = 2.30
