Answer: The equation is $29 + x*$4.50 = $42.50, and the solution is x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The data we have is:

Gonzales has $42.50

He wants to buy:

a shirt that costs $29

some bracelets that cost $4.50 each.

The equation that we need to solve is:

Total cost = money that Gonzales has.

The cost is $29 + x*$4.50

where x is the number of bracelets he can buy.

The equation that we need to solve is:

$29 + x*$4.50 = $42.50

to solve it we must isolate x:

x*$4.50 = $42.50 - $29 = $13.50

x = 13.50/4.50 = 3

So we have that Mr. Gonzales can buy a total of 3 bracelets.

Y=4.5x+29 put y=0 so you can solve
0=4.5x+29 minus 29 on both sides to cancel it out
-29=4.5x divide by 4.5 on both sides to find x
-6.44444...=x round to nearest whole number which would be 6 bc he can't have 6.44444 bracelets

The gas mileage for a certain vehicle can be approximated by m=−0.05x2+3.5x−49, where x is the speed of the vehicle in mph. Dete
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

<h2>14mph</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the gas mileage for a certain vehicle modeled by the equation m=−0.05x²+3.5x−49 where x is the speed of the vehicle in mph. In order to determine the speed(s) at which the car gets 9 mpg, we will substitute the value of m = 9 into the modeled equation and calculate x as shown;

m = −0.05x²+3.5x−49

when m= 9

9 = −0.05x²+3.5x−49

−0.05x²+3.5x−49 = 9

0.05x²-3.5x+49 = -9

Multiplying through by 100

5x²+350x−4900 = 900

Dividing through by 5;

x²+70x−980 = 180

x²+70x−980 - 180 = 0

x²+70x−1160 = 0

Using the general formula to get x;

a = 1, b = 70, c = -1160

x = -70±√70²-4(1)(-1160)/2

x = -70±√4900+4640)/2

x = -70±(√4900+4640)/2

x = -70±√9540/2

x =  -70±97.7/2

x = -70+97.7/2

x = 27.7/2

x = 13.85mph

x ≈ 14 mph

Hence, the speed(s) at which the car gets 9 mpg to the nearest mph is 14mph

Which figures can be precisely defined by using only undefined terms? Select three options.
love history [14]

This is a pretty bad question but I think the answer they're looking for is

angle

circle

line segment

We define arcs in terms of circles and parallel lines in terms of lines (though not necessarily line segments, so this is a bit of a judgement call).

Juana tiene en su tienda un costal con 28 libras de azucar.Hizo seis paquetes de 2,5 kg cada uno,de los cuales vendio cinco.¿Cua
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Al comienzo Juana tiene 28 libras de azúcar.

Ella hace 6 paquetes de 2.5kg cada paquete.

Entonces, entre los 6 paquetes, hay:

6*2.5kg = 15kg de azúcar.

Ahora el problema es que tenemos dos unidades distintas, kilogramos y libras.

Aca podemos usar la relación:

1k = 2.2lb.

Entonces 15kg de azúcar son 15 veces 2.2 libras:

15kg = 15*2.2lb = 33lb.

Esto nos da mas de lo que hay originalmente en el costal.

Ahora si lo pensamos como:

Solo vendió 5 paquetes de 2.5kg, entonces el sobrante queda en el costal inicial:

5*2.5kg = 12.5kg

De vuelta, 1kg = 2.2lb

12.5kg = 12.5*2.2lb = 27.5lb

En este caso hay un sobrante de:

28lb - 27.5lb = 0.5lb
