Answer:Answer: Isabella buys 2 paintbrushes and 3 jars of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Isabella can buy together 5 paintbrushes ( p ) and jars of paint ( p ) : j + p = 5, She can`t buy 4 items ( because 4 * $0.99 = $3.96 < $4.87 ) and she also can`t buy 6 items ( 6 * $0.95 = $5.70 > $4.87 ). So: p = 5 - j. Another equation is: 0.95 * ( 5 - j ) + 0.99 j = 4.87, 4.75 - 0.95 j + 0.99 j = 4.87; 0.04 j = 0.12; j = 0.12 : 0.04; j = 3, p = 5 - 3 = 2. We can prove it: 0.95 * 2 + 0.99 * 3 = 1.90 + 2.97 = 4.87.

(Hope this helps!!!!)

Identify whether the series summation of 12 open parentheses 3 over 5 close parentheses to the I minus 1 power from 1 to infinit

Finger [1]

∑ from 1 to infinity of 12(3/5)^(i - 1)
Since the common ratio is less than 1, the series is convegent. [i.e. 3/5 < 1]

Sum to infinity of a geometric series is given by a/(1 - r); where a is the first term, and r is the common ratio.

Sum = 12/(1 - 3/5) = 12/(2/5) = 30.

Bryan’s golf coach suggested he take some golf lessons. The Pro at Windy Fairways charges $20.00 per month plus $10.00 per lesso

Aneli [31]

Bryan has to take 8 classes for both Pro's to be the same price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Monthly charges of Pro at Windy = $20.00

Charges per lesson = $10.00

Let,

x be the number of lessons

W(x) = 10x +20

Monthly charges of Sunny Sands = $100.00

They offer unlimited classes.

S(x) = 100

For the price to be same;

W(x) = S(x)

$10x+20=100\\10x=100-20\\10x=80$

Dividing both sides by 10

$\frac{10x}{10}=\frac{80}{10}\\x=8$

Bryan has to take 8 classes for both Pro's to be the same price.

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

$26

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture attached, the table, the plot and the line of best fit are shown. There we can see the next equation:

y = 0.177x + 25.936

where x is the total dollar amount of her customers’ bills and then y is her total daily wages.

This means that even if she serves no customers (x = 0) she will earn $26 ($25.936 rounded to the nearest dollar) for each day of work.
