A discount bookstore sells hardcover books for $12 and paperback books for $6. The number of hardcover books, x, sold one day was twice the number of paperback books, y, sold the same day. The total sales that day were $180.

1.What is the system of equations that represents this situation?


2.What is the solution to the system and what does it represent in the context of this situation? Show your work.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Part 1) The system of equations that represent this situation is

[tex]12x+6y=180[/tex] and [tex]x=2y[/tex]

Part 2) The number of hardcover books sold was [tex]12[/tex] and the number of paperback books sold was [tex]6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) What is the system of equations that represents this situation?

Let

x---->  number of hardcover books sold

y----> number of paperback books sold

we know that

The system of equations that represent this situation is equal to

[tex]12x+6y=180[/tex] -----> equation A

[tex]x=2y[/tex] -----> equation B

Part 2) What is the solution to the system and what does it represent in the context of this situation?

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

[tex]12(2y)+6y=180[/tex]

[tex]24y+6y=180[/tex]

[tex]30y=180[/tex]

[tex]y=6[/tex]

Find the value of x

[tex]x=2y[/tex]

[tex]x=2(6)=12[/tex]

The solution of the system of equations is the point (12,6)

That means

The number of hardcover books sold was [tex]12[/tex]

The number of paperback books sold was [tex]6[/tex]

The Medians on this set of data are 18 on Saturday and 22 on Sunday

Step-by-step explanation:

The median on a set of data is the middle number that separates the lower half from the top half in a set. For us to be able to find the median in a set of numbers, the numbers must first always be arranged from least to greatest. Since the set in the picture is already sorted, we can easily see that the medians are the following,

Saturday: 18

Sunday: 22

Marissa Palmer’s charge account statement showed a previous balance of $142.55, a finance charge of $2.82, new purchases of $86.50, and a payment of $80.00. What is her new balance?

Answers

Answer:

$151.87

Step-by-step explanation:

The new balance includes the previous balance, plus finance/interests charges, plus the new purchases, minus the payment(s).

So,

Previous balance: $142.55

+ Finance charge: $2.82

+ New purchases: $86.50

= Sub-total: $231.87

- Payment: $80.00

= New Balance: $151.87

Final answer:

Marissa Palmer's new balance after considering her previous balance, finance charge, new purchases, and payment is $151.87.

Explanation:

To calculate Marissa Palmer's new balance on her charge account statement, we need to consider several components: the previous balance, finance charge, new purchases, and the payment she made. We start with her previous balance, add any finance charges, add the cost of new purchases, and then subtract any payments. Here's the step-by-step calculation:

Start with the previous balance of $142.55.Add the finance charge of $2.82 to the previous balance, yielding $145.37.Add new purchases of $86.50 to the total, resulting in $231.87.Subtract the payment of $80.00 to find the new balance.

When we do the subtraction ($231.87 - $80.00), we find that her new balance is $151.87.

how wide can a 5 m load be to fit under a parabolic underpass that is 7 m wide and 7 m at its highest point

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\text{3.74 m}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This is equivalent to finding the equation of a parabola from three points.

Let's call the ground-level points (-3.5, 0) and (3.5, 0).

The axis of symmetry will be the y-axis, so the vertex is at (0, 7).

Part 1. Find the equation of the parabola

The vertex form of the equation for a parabola is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

If the vertex is at (0, 7),  

h = 0 and k = 7

The equation is

y = ax² + 7

Insert the point (0, -3.5)

0 = a(0 + 3.5)² + 7

0 = a(3.5)² + 7

0 = 12.25a + 7

-7 = 12.25a

a = -0.5714

The equation in vertex form is

y = -0.5714x² + 7

Part 2. Calculate the width when y = 5

 5 = -0.5714x² + 7

-2 = -0.5714x²

x² = 2/0.5714

x² = 3.5

x = ±√3.5 = ±1.87  

So, on the graph, the coordinates of the truck at ground level are x = -1.87 and x = +1.87.

The maximum width of the load is 1.87 – (-1.87) =[tex]\boxed{\textbf{3.74 m}}[/tex]

In the diagram below, the red parabola represents the underpass, and the blue box is the truck going through it.

given that (6,-3) is on the graph of f(x), find the corresponding point for the function f(1/3x)

Answers

Answer:

The corresponding point for the function [tex]f(\frac{1}{3}x)[/tex] is

(18, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition if we have a function f(x) and we apply the transformation:

[tex]y = f (hx)[/tex]

Then:

If [tex]0 <h <1[/tex] the graph is stretched horizontally  by a factor [tex]\frac{1}{h}[/tex]

If [tex]h> 1[/tex] the graph is compressed horizontally by a factor [tex]\frac{1}{h}[/tex]

In this case [tex]h=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]  this is [tex]0 <h <1[/tex] then the graph is stretched horizontally  by a factor [tex]\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3}}=3[/tex]

Therefore the point (6, -3) that belongs to f(x), in the transformed function will be (3*6, -3) This is (18, -3)

David bought a bag of caramel chocolates and chocolate truffles in the ratio of 4 : 6. If the bag holds 24 caramel chocolates, how many chocolates in all did the bag contain?

Answers

Answer:

the number of chocolates in the  bag is 60 in total

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

60 chocolates in total

Explanation:

If the ratio of caramel chocolates to chocolate truffles is 4:6 and we know there are 24 caramel chocolates, we can create a proportion.(X is the amount of chocolate truffles)

4/24=6/x

Solve for x.

144=4x

X=36

Now that we know how many of each chocolate there is, we can calculate the total by adding them together.

36+24=60 chocolates in total

Answers

the first choice is correct

The maximum area of the rectangle will be 242 square ft. The expression for a in terms of x will be 44 - 2x. Then the correct option is C.

What is a rectangle?

It is a polygon with four sides. The total interior angle is 360 degrees. A rectangle's opposite sides are parallel and equal, and each angle is 90 degrees. Its diagonals are all the same length and intersect in the center.

If the a, b, and x are 44 ft. Then the expression for a in terms of x will be

We know that b = x

Then we have

a + b + x = 44

   a + 2x = 44

           a = 44 - 2x

Then the area opf the rectangle will be

Area = (44 - 2x)x

Area = 44x - 2x²

For maximum area the value of  x will be 11. Then we have

Area = 44 × 11 - 2 × 11²

Area = 242 square ft

The length of a rectangle is three centimeters less than the width. If the area of the rectangle is 54cm^2, find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

Width =9 cm

Length =6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be width, then length is x − 3

Let area be E. Then we have: E = x ⋅ (x −3)

54= x^2-3x

x^2-3x-54=0

We then do the Discriminant of the equation:

D=9+216

D=225

X1=3+15 over 2. which is 9

X2= 3-15. over 2. which is -6 Which is declined, since we can't have negative width and length.

Therefore x is 9. So width  

So width  = x = 9cm and length is x-3 = 9-3cm=6 cm

complete the equations so that the solution of the equations is (-3,5)

y=__x-10

y=-5x-10

3x-2y=-19

We can actually see here that the completed equations are:

1. y = -5x - 10

2. 3x - 2y = -19

How we arrived at the solution?

To find the missing values in the equations such that the solution is (-3, 5), we substitute the values of x = -3 and y = 5 into the equations and solve for the missing values.

For the equation y = x - 10:

Substituting x = -3 and y = 5:

5 = -3 - 10

5 = -3__ - 10

5 + 10 = -3__

15 = -3__

__ = -5

Therefore, the missing value is -5. The completed equation is:

y = -5x - 10

For the equation 3x - y = -19:

Substituting x = -3 and y = 5:

3(-3) - 5 = -19

-9 - 5 = -19

-9 + 19 = 5

10 = 5__

__ = 2

Therefore, the missing value is 2. The completed equation is:

3x - 2y = -19

The completed equations are:

y = -5x - 103x - 2y = -19

When x = -3 and y = 5, both equations will have a solution of (-3, 5).

3.(-6,-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x-2

2x+4=y

x-2=2x+4

x=2x+6

-x=6

x=-6

y=-6-2

y=-8

Step 1: Wherever you see a y in the equation: 2x + 4 = y insert x - 2

2x + 4 = x - 2

Step 2: Combine like terms

x's go with x's. To do this subtract the x from the right side to both sides

(2x - x) + 4 = (x - x) - 2

x + 4 = 0x - 2

x + 4 = -2

Normal numbers go with normal numbers (4 and -2). Bring the 4 to the right side by subtracting it to both sides

x + (4 - 4) = -2 - 4

x + 0 = -6

x = -6

Step 3: To solve y put -6 where you see an x in the equation: y = 2x + 4

y = 2(-6) + 4

y = -12 + 4

y = -8
