Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

price of 1 pen= $ 2

price of 1 pencil= $1

total money spent= $12

Let the number of pen be a and number of pencil be b.

 2 a + b = 12   ----------------Equation 1

We have, she bought 3 more pens than pencils

  a - b = 3   ------------------  Equation 2

 Equation 1 +Equation 2,  

   2 a + b +  a - b = 12 + 3

                     3a = 15

                     a = 5

 Substituting in  equation

           5 - b = 3

               b = 2

 Number pencils Ava bought = 2

If the measures of two complimentary angles are 7x and 11x , then find x
Irina18 [472]
As you know that sum of complementary angles equal 90°

so,

7x + 11x = 90
18x = 90
x = 90/18
x =5


so,
option A is the correct one.

Georgie joins a gym. She pays $25 to sign up and then $15 each monthLabel the y-intercept, the slope, and your axes.
Degger [83]
The first thing you should do for this case is to find the equation of the line that best suits the problem and then plot it.

Let X: number of months and: amount paid.

The equation of the line is
y = 15x + 25 y-intercept = 25

the slope = 15

Answer:

Georgie pays (y axis) $ 15 dollars (the spole) monthly (x-axis) in the gym with a $ 25 registration (y -intercept)

Emma was about to finish grocery shopping when she noticed that cans of soup were on sale. Her total bill for groceries would be
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

3rd option: B(C)= 1.79C +86.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Total bill

= cost of cans(number of cans) +cost of other groceries

Let the cost of other groceries be G, and the cost of cans be X.

Given that number of cans= C,

Total bill= XC +G

If 2 cans were purchased,

2X+G= 89.61 -----(1)

If 5 cans were purchased,

5X +G= 94.98 -----(2)

(2) -(1):

(5X +G) -(2X +G)= 94.98 -89.61

5X +G -2x -G= 5.37

3X= 5.37

X= 5.37 ÷3 <em>(</em><em>÷</em><em>3</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>

X= 1.79

Subst. X= 1.79 into (1):

2(1.79) +G= 89.61

3.58 +G= 89.61

G= 89.61 -3.58 <em>(</em><em>-3.58</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>

G= 86.03 <em>(</em><em>simplify</em><em>)</em>

Total bill

= XC +G

= 1.79C +86.03

Thus, the function is B(C)= 1.79C +86.03.

Jalen randomly chooses a number from 1 - 10 . What Is the probability he chooses a number greater than 3?
RUDIKE [14]

The answer will be D. 7/10 because you have 10 numbers and you want to have a number greater than 3 so it would be 10-3=7 and 7 would go over 10 because there are 7 numbers greater than 3 but less than 10.

Answer:

a reflection over the x-axis and then a 90 degree clockwise rotation about the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets suppose triangle JKL has the vertices on the points as follows:

J: (-1,0)

K: (0,0)

L: (0,1)

This gives us a triangle in the second quadrant with the 90 degrees corner on the origin. It says that this is then transformed by performing a 90 degree clockwise rotation about the origin and then a reflection over the y-axis. If we rotate it 90 degrees clockwise we end up with:

J: (0,1) , K: (0,0), L: (1,0)

Then we reflect it across the y-axis and get:

J: (0,1), K:(0,0), L: (-1,0)


Now we go through each answer and look for the one that ends up in the second quadrant;

If we do a reflection over the y-axis and then a 90 degree clockwise rotation about the origin we end up in the fourth quadrant.

If we do a reflection over the x-axis and then a 90 degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin we also end up in the fourth quadrant.

If we do a reflection over the x-axis and then a reflection over the y-axis we also end up in the fourth quadrant.

The third answer is the only one that yields a transformation which leads back to the original position.
