Answer: 25 grapefruits

Step-by-step explanation:

They buy grapefruit at a price of 5 per dollar. This means that the price per grapefruit is:

= 1 / 5

= $0.20 per grapefruit.

They then sell at a price of 5 per $3. The selling price per grapefruit is:

= 3 / 5

= $0.60

The profit per grapefruit is:

= 0.60 - 0.20

= $0.40

In order to make a profit of $10, they should sell:

= 10 / 0.4

= 25 grapefruits

If f(x) = 7x+6 and g(x)=8x-4 find f(g(-2))

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

$f(g(-2))=-134$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the two functions:

$f(x)=7x+6\text{ and } g(x)=8x-4$

And we want to find f(g(-2)).

First, let's find g(-2):

$g(-2)=8(-2)-4$

Multiply:

$g(-2)=-16-4$

Subtract:

$g(-2)=-20$

Now, substitute:

$f(g(-2))=f(-20)$

Now, find the value of f(-20):

$f(-20)=7(-20)+6$

Multiply:

$f(-20)=-140+6$

Add:

$f(-20)=-134$

So:

$f(g(-2))=-134$

And we're done!

What is the equation of the following line? be sure to scroll down first to see all answer options

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The equation for the following graph:

$y = -\frac{1}{5}x$

Step-by-step explanation:

- You first need to find the slope by using the slope formula:

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

(where $(x_{1},y_{1})$ is the first point and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ is the second point)

-Use the given points $(0,0)$ and $(10, -2)$ from the graph for the formula:

$m = \frac{-2 - 0}{10 - 0}$

Then, you solve:

$m = \frac{-2 - 0}{10 - 0}$

$m = -\frac{1}{5}$

After you have found the slope, use the slope $-\frac{1}{5}$ and the first point $(0,0)$ for the point-slope formula:

$y - y_{1} = m ( x - x_{1})$

(where $m$ is the slope and $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ is the first point)

$y - 0 = -\frac{1}{5} ( x - 0)$

Then, you solve:

$y - 0 = -\frac{1}{5} ( x - 0)$

$y - 0 = -\frac{1}{5}x - 0$

$y - 0 + 0 = -\frac{1}{5} - 0 + 0$

$y = -\frac{1}{5}x$

So, the equation for the following graph is $y = -\frac{1}{5}x$ .

action bar. John has $132.55 in his bank account. He wants to join a guitar class that charges a $15 fee every week. John plans

Artemon [7]

$132.55-($15*12)=$132.55-$180=$-47.45
So then he would have owed 47.45 dollars!
