To determine the cost of each item, we need to set up equations. From the problem statement, we have three unknowns so we need three equations. We set up equations as follows:
let x cost of small pizzas
y cost of soda
z cost of salad
two small pizzas, a liter of soda, and a salad cost $14
2x + y + z = 14
one small pizza, a liter of soda, and three salads cost $15
x + y + 3z = 15
three small pizzas, a liter of soda, and two salads cost $22
3x + y + 2z = 22
Solving for x, y and z, we will have:
x = $ 5
y = $ 1
z = $ 3
Answer:
The equation for the amount of salary after x number of years is given by:

where
a is the initial amount
x represents the number of years and
r represents the growth rate( in decimal)
As per the statement:
You begin your first day as a police officer earning $30,000/yr
⇒ a= 30,000
It is also given that you obtain a full 5% increase each year,
⇒
then;
....[1]
we have to find the salary in three years.
⇒
Substitute this value in [1] we have
Simplify:

therefore, your salary be in three years will be $34,4728.75
5 would be the dependent variable because the number 5 depends on how many greeting cards are bought.
Answer:
answer is C (0.12+0.27-0.12)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: To find the average rate of change, evaluate the function at the given points.
Evaluate the difference of the function at the given points.
Divide the difference of the function at the given points with the difference of the given points.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Average of rate is -1.
Everytime it goes up by one the y goes down by 1 so it would be -1.
