Full question

Janie ordered boxed lunches for a student advisory committee meeting. Each lunch cost 4.25. The total cost of the lunches is 53.75, including a 7$ delivery fee. Write and solve an equation to find x the number of boxed lunches Janie ordered

First of all subtract the delivery feesince it was inckuded in the total cost, this will now be the total cost of all the noxed lunches ordered by Janie, then divide the balance of the total cost by the cost of one boxed lunch to get thd total boxed kunches

X= 53.75-7/4.25

X= 53.75-7= 46.75/4.25

X=11

Answer:

The total number of lunch boxes is 11.

<em>⇒ 4.25x + 7 = 53.75 (equation)</em>

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

If 1 lunch box costs $ 4.25

x lunch boxes costs x × 4.25 = 4.25x

Janie paid a total of $ 53.75 including delivery

<em>⇒ 4.25x + 7 = 53.75 (equation)</em>

4.25x = 53.75 - 7

4.25x = 46.75

∴x = $\frac{46.75}{4.25}$ = 11

<u>Therefore, Janie bought 11 boxes.</u>

Soloha48 [4]

It is given in the question that

The temperature measured in Kelvin (K) is the temperature measured in Celsius (C) increased by 273.15. This can be modeled by the equation

$K = C + 273.15$

To solve for C, we need to get rid of 273.15 and for that we do subtraction, that is

$C = K -273.15$

Correct option is the first option .

EleoNora [17]

Given

Elysse paid for her sandwich and drink with a $10 bill and received $0.63 in change.

The sandwich cost $7.75 and sales tax was $0.47.

Find out the cost of her drink

To proof

Let the cost of her drink be x.

As given in the question

Elysse paid for her sandwich and drink with a $10 bill and received $0.63 in change.

Elysse paid for her sandwich and drink = 10 - 0.63

= $ 9.37

sandwich cost $7.75 and sales tax was $0.47

Than the equation becomes

x = 9.37 - (7.75 + 0.47)

x = 9.37 - 8.22

x = $ 1.15

The cost of the drink is $ 1.15.

Hence proved

Your utility company charges 13 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity. What is the daily cost of keeping lit a 75 watt light bu

Tresset [83]

we know that

$1 Kw=1000 w$

The company charges $13$ cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity

$13 cents=0.13 dollars\\\\ 75w=\frac{75}{1000} kw\\\\ 15w=\frac{15}{1000} kw$

Step $1$

Find the cost for the light bulb

a) in one day

$\frac{75}{1000} *12=0.9\ kw\ hour$

$Cost=0.13*0.9$

Cost=$ $0.117$

b) In a year

$\frac{75}{1000} *12=0.9\ kw\ hour$

$0.9*365=328.5\ kw\ hour$

$Cost=0.13*328.5$

Cost=$ $42.71$

Step $2$

Find the cost for the led bulb

a) in one day

$\frac{15}{1000} *12=0.18\ kw\ hour$

$Cost=0.13*0.18$

Cost=$ $0.0234$

b) In a year

$\frac{15}{1000} *12=0.18\ kw\ hour$

$0.18*365=65.7\ kw\ hour$

$Cost=0.13*65.7$

Cost=$ $8.54$

Step $3$

Find the difference in cost

$Save=42.71-8.54\\ Save=34.17 dollars$

therefore

the answer is

$34.17 dollars$

Ben is eating some pretzels and an entire small package of mustard as a snack. Based on

olasank [31]

Please consider the attached graph.

We have been given that Ben is eating some pretzels and an entire small package of mustard as a snack. We are asked to find the equation that represents the relationship between the number of pretzels that Ben eats, x, and the total amount of sodium in his snack, y.

First of all, we will find the slope of the line using points (1,80) and (5,140).

$m=\frac{140-80}{5-1}$

$m=\frac{60}{4}$

$m=15$

Now we will use point-slope form of equation $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ , where m represents slope of line and point $(x_1,y_1)$ is on the line.

We will substitute $m=15$ and coordinates of point (1,80) in above equation.

$y-80=15(x-1)$

$y-80=15x-15$

$y-80+80=15x-15+80$

$y=15x+65$

Therefore, the equation $y=15x+65$ represents the relationship between the number of pretzels that Ben eats and the total amount of sodium in his snack.

Which graph is the result of reflecting f(x) = One-fourth(8)x across the y-axis and then across the x-axis? On a coordinate plan

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Which graph is the result of reflecting f(x) = One-fourth(8)x across the y-axis and then across the x-axis?

On a coordinate plane, an exponential function approaches y = 0 in quadrant 2 and incresaes into quadrant 1. It goes through the y-axis at (0, 0.25) and goes through (1, 2).

On a coordinate plane, an exponential function approaches y = 0 in quadrant 1 and increases in quadrant 2. It crosses the y-axis at (0, 0.25) and goes through (negative 1, 2).

On a coordinate plane, an exponential function approaches y = 0 in quadrant 3 and decreases into quadrant 4. It crosses the y-axis at (0, negative 0.25) and goes through (1, negative 2).

On a coordinate plane, an exponential funtion increases in quadrant 3 into quadrant 4 and approaches y = 0. It goes through (negative 1, negative 2) and crosses the y-axis at (0, negative 0.25).
