Answer:
a. 
b. 
Step-by-step explanation:
In numerical expressions we write numbers with the mathematical symbols ( i.e. '+', '-' etc )
a. Given phrase,
Three fifths of seven,
b. One sixth the product of four and eight,
Answer is 8
Work Shown:
f(x) = sqrt(5*x + 4)
f(12) = sqrt(5*12 + 4) ... replace every x with 12
f(12) = sqrt(60 + 4)
f(12) = sqrt( 64 )
f(12) = 8
Since you are not distributing at all, you can ignore the parenthesis :)
When ignoring the parenthesis your equation is
18x + 11 - 4x
Then just combine like terms :)
14x + 11
Your answer is C.
Hope this helped!
Answer:
$34
Step-by-step explanation:
I'd work backwards.
For the third book, she paid all her remaining money. The problem says she paid "1/2 her leftover money + $3". This means that: (let m = money used to buy book 3)
m = 1/2m + 3
1/2m = 3
m = 6
For the second book: (let n = money before book 2)
n - m (money left after book 2) = 1/2n + 2
1/2n +2 is money used up for book, which is the same as n-m.
n = 1/2n + 2 + m
1/2n = 2 + m = 2 + 6
1/2n =8
n = 16
For the first book, she spent 1/2 her money + 1. If o = money before book 1 (or the whole allowance):
o - n = 1/2o + 1
o = 1/2o + n + 1 = 1/2o + 16 + 1
1/2o = 17
o = 34
Check!
Spent 17 (half 34) + 1 on book 1
16 left
Spent 8 (half 16) +2 on book 2
6 left
Spent 3 (half 6) + 3 on book 3
0 left
