a.Write System of equations for the above problem.



b. Solve the system of equations


c.Explain the meaning of the solution in the context of the problem.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$0.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say an orange costs O dollars and a grapefuit costs G dollars.

We add G dollars for each grapefuit and O dollars for each orange, so, for example, 12 grapefuit = G added 12 times = 12 *G = 12G

a.

6G = 10O

12G + 24O = 12

6 grapefuit = 6G = 10 oranges = 10O

b.

6G = 10O

12G + 24O = 12

We can solve this using substitution. First, we can solve the first equation for G. After that, we can plug that into the second to find O and go from there.

6G = 10O

divide both sides by 6 to remove the coefficient for G

G = (10/6)O

plug that into the second equation

12*(10/6)O + 24O = 12

20O + 24O = 12

44O = 12

divide both sides by 44 to solve for O

O=12/44 = 6/22

6G = 10O

6G = 60/22

divide both sides by 6 to solve for G

10/22 = G

c.

These solutions mean that an orange (O) costs 6/22 dollars and a grapefuit (G) costs 10/22, so 1O + 1G = 16/22 dollars ≈ $0.73. Note that O and G are kept as fractions because they are not exact dollar amounts, e.g. 0.27 repreating

The number of different ways the students can stand in line is A = 24 ways

What are Permutations?

A permutation is an ordered arrangement.

The number of ordered arrangements of r objects taken from n unlike objects is:

Permutation ⁿPr = n! / ( n - r )!

Given data ,

Let the number of different ways the students can stand in line be A

Now , There are 4 students to choose from for the first position in the line, then 3 remaining students for the second position, 2 remaining students for the third position, and only 1 student left for the last position.

Therefore, there are

4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24 different ways for the students to stand in line

Therefore , the value of A = 24 ways

Hence , the students have 24 ways to stand in line

Four transformations of the function f(x) are given below.

For each transformation, drag the graph that shows the result of that transformation into the box under it.

Answers

Answer:

f(x) - 3 : the ones that move the graph down

f(x -3)  : the ones that move the graph to the RIGHT

Step-by-step explanation:

graph transformations:

f (x-3):

if the number is inside the "()" sign with the x -> you will have to move the graph sideways (left or right), but it has a little twist: if the number is negative (i.e: f(x)-3), you will move the graph to the right, and if it is positive, you will move it to the left.

f (x) -3:

if the number is outside the "()" -> you will have to move the graph up or down. there is no twist here: if its negative, it goes down, if its positive, it goes up.

Answer:

6 maybe I'm not sure jkeneekenene

Answer:

3x

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle is similar to a square, in the sense that opposite sides will always be the same. Because we are given the side of the length is 3x-3, this means that the other length will too be 3x-3. Now, we may add these:

(3x-3)+(3x-3)=6x-6

And because we are given our perimiter, simply subtract the lengths we do know:

(12x+6)-(6x-6)=6x

This is the perimetor we have left in our shape. Because we again know that opposing sides are the same length, simply dividing our answer by two will give us the length we need:

6x/2=3x

Based on this, our length of the indicated side is 3x!

Hope this helped!

Twenty is what percent of 25?

Answers

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

20:25*100 =

(20*100):25 =

2000:25 = 80

Now we have: 20 is what percent of 25 = 80

Question: 20 is what percent of 25?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 25 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=25$.

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=20$.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

$100\%=25(1)$.

$x\%=20(2)$.

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{25}{20}$

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{20}{25}$

$\Rightarrow x=80\%$

Therefore, $20$ is $80\%$ of $25$.

8^2 is 64

100+64-5

First thing we want to know is what it is asking us.

So, it is asking us to evaluate this expression. Which means to find the answer to it.

Second thing is the order of Operations.

P- (Parentheses)

E-Exponents

M Multiplication

D Division

A Add

S Sub

Now that we know what that means, we may now solve it.

you see a parenthesis, right? Do what is inside first

1.3+5=8

Now there is a exponent by the parentheses. We do that next

(Exponent means we times that number by the number. Like 4 to the power of 3 is really just 4x4x4)

2.8 to the power of 2 is 8x8 which is 64.

So, we got 64 down let's see our equation now.

10^2+64-5

Now, the next step in PEMDAS Is to do the exponents. 10 to the power of 2 is really just 10x10.

(A trick is that if you see the little number beside the 10, it means how many zeros there are like 10to the power of 2 is 100)

So, our new equation is

100+64-5.

Now all we have to do it add and sub right to left

100+64=164

Our new equation is 164-5 which is 159.
