Solve your system of equations.

3x+2y=8;2x+3y=2

Solve 3x+2y=8 for x:

3x+2y+−2y=8+−2y(Add -2y to both sides)

3x=−2y+8

3x/3=−2y+83(Divide both sides by 3)

x=−2/3y+8/3

Substitute (−2/3y+8/3) for x in 2x+3y=2:

2x+3y=2

2(−2/3y+8/3)+3y=2

5/3y+16/3=2(Simplify both sides of the equation)

5/3y+16/3+−16/3=2+−16/3(Add (-16)/3 to both sides)

5/3y=−10/3

5/3y5/3=−10/35/3(Divide both sides by 5/3)

y=−2

Substitute (−2) for y in x=−2/3y+8/3:

x=−23y+83

x=−23(−2)+83

x=4(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer is A)

Jordan prepares 200 name tags to use at a meeting. The number for each color of the name tag is described below.
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The answer would be A. 55.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the 35% you would take your 200 and divide it by 2 and have two 100's. Since 35% is out of 100% you could take 35 from each 100 and add them together to get 70.

For the 3/8 you would divide and get .375 then you would multiply that by 200 which would give you 75 yellow tags. Then you would add 75 and 70 and get 145. Then subtract 145 from 200 to get 55. Therefore there would be 55 red tags.

What are the domain, range, and asymptote of h(x) = 6x – 4? domain: {x | x is a real number}; range: {y | y > 4}; asymptote:
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function is the set for which the function is defined. Our function is the function h(x) = 6x-4. This function is defined regardless of the value of x, so it is defined for every real value of x. That is, it's domain is the set {x|x is a real number}.

The range of the function is the set of all possible values that the function might take, that is {y|y=6x-4}. Recall that every real number y could be written of the form y=6x-4 for a particular x. So the range of the function is the set {y|y is a real number}.

Note that as x gets bigger, the value of 6x-4 gets also bigger, then it doesn't approach any particular number. Note also that as x approaches - infinity, the value of 6x-4 approaches also - infinity. In this case, we don't have any horizontal asymptote. Since the function is defined for every real number, it doesn't have any vertical asymptote. Since h is a linear function, it cannot have any oblique asymptote, then h doesn't have any asymptote.

use the drop-down menus to describe the key aspects of the function f(x) = –x2 – 2x – 1. the vertex is the . the function is inc
timurjin [86]

Answer:

The vertex of the parabola is the maximum value, i.e.,(-1,0). The function is increasing x<-1. the function is decreasing x>-1. the domain of the function is all real numbers. the range of the function is all real numbers less than or equal to 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

f(x)=-x^2-2x-1

f(x)=-[x^2+2x+1]

f(x)=-(x+1)^2                 ....(1)

The general vertex form of the parabola is

f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k           .....(2)

Where, (h,k) is vertex and a is stretch factor.

On comparing (1) and (2), we get

a=-1

h=-1

k=0

The vertex of the parabola is (-1,0). Since a=-1<1 so it is a downward parabola.

The axis of symmetry is x=-1. So, before -1 the function is increasing and after -1 the function is decreasing.

The vertex of a downward parabola is the point of maxima. So, the rang of the function can not exceed 0.

Therefore the vertex of the parabola is the maximum value, i.e.,(-1,0). The function is increasing x<-1. the function is decreasing x>-1. the domain of the function is all real numbers. the range of the function is all real numbers less than or equal to 0.

Lisa [10]
To answer this kind of question, you need to insert the first equation into second equation or vice versa. The equation from the question should be:

1. 3 paperback books +  5 hardcover book = $80.10
2. 7 paperback books + 4 hardcover book= $100.65

It would be easier to convert the 1st equation into
5 hardcover book = $80.10- 3 paperback books
hardcover book= $16.02- 0.6 paperback books

Then insert it to 2nd equation:
7 paperback books + 4 ($16.02- 0.6 paperback books)= $100.65
7 paperback books + $64.08- 2.4 paperback books= $100.65
4.6 paperback books = $100.65-  $64.08= $36.57
paperback book= $7.95

Insert paperback book price to the first equation to find the hardcover book price
3 paperback books +  5 hardcover book = $80.10
3 ($7.95)+  5 hardcover book = $80.10
5 hardcover book = $80.10 - $23.85= $56.25
hardcover book = $11.25

Then one paperback and one hardcoverbook= $7.95 + $11.25= $19.20
