8 5 and 18 8
7 2 9 2
8 - 5 = 3, 8 - 7 = 1, 5 - 2 = 3 and 18 - 8 = 10, 18 - 9 = 9, 9 - 2 = 7, 8 - 2 = 6
Answer:
B. y = -0.58x^2 -0.43x +15.75
Step-by-step explanation:
The data has a shape roughly that of a parabola opening downward. So, you'll be looking for a 2nd-degree equation with a negative coefficient of x^2. There is only one of those, and its y-intercept (15.75) is in about the right place.
The second choice is appropriate.
_____
The other choices are ...
A. a parabola opening upward
C. an exponential function decaying toward zero on the right and tending toward infinity on the left
D. a line with negative slope (This might be a good linear regression model, but the 2nd-degree model is a better fit.)
Answer:
Correct answer is:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Number of bracelets with yellow beads is represented by 
Each bracelet with yellow beads is sold for $5.
Total money raised by bracelets with yellow beads = Number of bracelets sold 
Money raised by sale of one such bracelet = 
Also Given that Number of bracelets with Orange beads is represented by 
Each bracelet with orange beads is sold for $6.
Total money raised by bracelets with orange beads = Number of bracelets sold Money raised by sale of one such bracelet = 
Given that total money raised by sale of both type of bracelets is $660.
so, the first equation becomes:
It is also given that "<em>The number of bracelets with yellow beads that Sierra sold is 8 more than twice the number of bracelets with orange beads</em>"
So, by equation (1) and (2), the system of equations is:
Answer:
- Andre subtracted 3x from both sides
- Diego subtracted 2x from both sides
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Andre</u>
Comparing the result of Andre's work with the original, we see that the "3x" term on the right is missing, and the x-term on the left is 3x less than it was. It is clear that Andre subtracted 3x from both sides of the equation.
__
<u>Diego</u>
Comparing the result of Diego's work with the original, we see that the "2x" term on the left is missing, and the x-term on the right is 2x less than it was. It is clear that Diego subtracted 2x from both sides of the equation.
_____
<em>Comment on their work</em>
IMO, Diego has the right idea, as his result leaves the x-term with a positive coefficient. He can add 8 and he's finished, having found that x=14.
Andre can subtract 6 to isolate the variable term, and that will give him -x=-14. This requires another step to get to x=14. Sometimes minus signs get lost, so this would not be my preferred sequence of steps.
As a rule, I like to add the opposite of the variable term with the least (most negative) coefficient. This results in the variable having a positive coefficient, making errors easier to avoid.
