<h3>
Answer:</h3>
- A. x = -2
- B. (-2, -3), (-3, -1)
- C. x = 0
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
Part A. The solution is represented by the point at which the graphs intersect: (-2, -3). The x-value that makes p(x) = f(x) is x = -2.
___
Part B. The point found in Part A is one solution to f(x). The graph shows the line has a slope of -2, so another point will be 1 to the left and 2 up: (-3, -1). So, two solutions are ...
... (-2, -3) and (-3, -1)
___
Part C. The graphs of p(x) and g(x) intersect at the point (0, 2). This means
... p(0) = g(0) = 2
So, x = 0 is the solution to the equation p(x) = g(x).
Answer:
The sandals cost before tax $25.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that the sandals cost before tax $x.
So, after giving an 8% tax the price will be 
.
If the $15 gift certificate on that after tax price and the final cost of the sandals becomes $12, then
1.08x - 15 = 12
⇒ 1.08x = 27
⇒ x = $25
Hence, the sandals cost before tax $25. (Answer)
The total weight of candies is unknown. Let x = the total weight of candies.
"One student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb":
The first student ate (3/20)x plus 1.2 lb which is 0.15x + 1.2.
"The second student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb."
The second student ate (3/5)x and 0.3 lb which is 0.6x + 0.3.
Altogether the 2 students ate 0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3.
That was all the amount of candies, so that sum equals x.
0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3 = x
Now we solve the equation for x to find what the total amount of candies was.
0.75x + 1.5 = x
-0.25x = -1.5
x = 6
The total amount of candies was 6 lb.
The first student ate 0.15x + 1.2 = 0.15(6) + 1.2 = 0.9 + 1.2 = 2.1, or 2.1 lb of candies.
The second student ate 0.6x + 0.3 = 0.6(6) + 0.3 = 3.6 + 0.3 = 3.9, or 3.9 lb of candies.
Answer: The first student ate 2.1 lb of candies, and the second student ate 3.9 lb of candies.
Answer:
1. no
2. no
3. no
4.yes
Step-by-step explanation:
1. if you solve this you will get -11/120 and you want 3/7
2. no because you will get 5/16 and you want 5/8
3. no because you will get 3/8 and you want 5/8
4. yes because you will get 5/8
