you are buying a new printer and a new scanner for your computer and you cannot spend over $150. The printer you want costs $80.

Write an inequality that describes the most that you can spend on the scanner and still stay within your budget. If you can buy a scanner that costs $75 will you remain within your budget?

It is given in the question that

You are buying a new printer and a new scanner for your computer and you cannot spend over $150. The printer you want costs $80.

Let the price of scanner be $ x .

So we have

$x+ 80\leq 150$

Subtracting 80 from both sides

$x\leq 70$

It means , the price should be not more then $70 .

Therefore in case, the price of scanner is $75, then you will not remain within your budget .

Agata [3.3K]

Both problems give you a function in the second column and the x-values. To find out the values of a through f, you need to plug in those x-values into the function and simplify!

You need to know three exponent rules to simplify these expressions:
1) The negative exponent rule says that when a base has a negative exponent, flip the base onto the other side of the fraction to make it into a positive exponent. For example, $3^{-2} =
\frac{1}{3^{2} }$ .
2) Raising a fraction to a power is the same as separately raising the numerator and denominator to that power. For example, $(\frac{3}{4}) ^{3} = \frac{ 3^{3} }{4^{3} }$ .
3) The zero exponent rule<span> says that any number raised to zero is 1. For example, $3^{0} = 1$ .

Back to the Problem:
Problem 1
The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is $y = 4^{-x}$ . The x-values are:
<span>1) x = 0
</span>Plug this into $y = 4^{-x}$ to find letter a:
$y = 4^{-x}\\
y = 4^{-0}\\
y = 4^{0}\\
y = 1$
<span>
2) x = 2
</span>Plug this into $y = 4^{-x}$ to find letter b:
$y = 4^{-x}\\ 
y = 4^{-2}\\ 
y = \frac{1}{4^{2}} \\ 
y= \frac{1}{16}$
<span>
3) x = 4
</span>Plug this into $y = 4^{-x}$ to find letter c:
$y = 4^{-x}\\ 
y = 4^{-4}\\ 
y = \frac{1}{4^{4}} \\ 
y= \frac{1}{256}$
<span>

Problem 2
</span>The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ . The x-values are:
<span>1) x = 0
</span>Plug this into $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ to find letter d:
$y = (\frac{2}{3})^x\\
y = (\frac{2}{3})^0\\
y = 1$
<span>
2) x = 2
</span>Plug this into $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ to find letter e:
$y = (\frac{2}{3})^x\\ y = (\frac{2}{3})^2\\ y = \frac{2^2}{3^2}\\
y = \frac{4}{9}$
<span>
3) x = 4
</span>Plug this into $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ to find letter f:
$y = (\frac{2}{3})^x\\ y = (\frac{2}{3})^4\\ y = \frac{2^4}{3^4}\\ y = \frac{16}{81}$
<span>
-------

Answers:
a = 1
b = </span> $\frac{1}{16}$ <span>
c = </span> $\frac{1}{256}$
d = 1
e = $\frac{4}{9}$
f = $\frac{16}{81}$

Jalil and Victoria are each asked to solve the equation ax – c = bx + d for x. Jalil says it is not possible to isolate x becaus

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Give the expression ax – c = bx + d, we are isolate x i.e we are to make x the subject of the formula.

ax – c = bx + d

Step 1: subtract bx from both sides

ax – c = bx + d

ax-bx = d+c

Step 2: Factor out x in the left hand side of the resulting expression

x(a-b) = d+c

Step 3: Divide both sides by the coefficient of i.e (a-b)

$\frac{x(a-b)}{a-b} = \frac{d+c}{a-b}$

$x = \frac{d+c}{a-b}$

Hence Victoria can justify the step 3 of her work by dividing both sides of the expression in 2 by a-b

Mia has 1/2 of a pizza. She divides it equally among 4 people. Which model shows the fraction of a whole pizza each person gets

Llana [10]

Each person gets $\frac{1}{8}$ of whole pizza

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Mia has $\frac{1}{2}$ of a pizza

She divides it equally among 4 people

<em><u>To find: Fraction of a whole pizza each person gets</u></em>

From statement,

$\frac{1}{2}$ of pizza is divided equally among 4 people

Therefore, to find the fraction of whole pizza each person gets, we can divide the $\frac{1}{2}$ by 4 people

$\text{fraction each person gets } = \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{4}\\\\\text{fraction each person gets } = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4}\\\\\text{fraction each person gets } = \frac{1}{8}$

Thus each person gets $\frac{1}{8}$ of whole pizza

antiseptic1488 [7]

Solution:

Matte Satin Glossy Total

Homeowners 0.08 0.20 0.24 0.52

Contractors 0.04 0.26 0.18 0.48

Total 0.12 0.46 0.42 1

Approximately what percentage of contractors prefer the glossy finish?

Answer: Percentage of contractors who prefer the glossy finish is:

$\frac{0.18}{0.48}=0.375
$ or $37.5\%$

Therefore, the option D. 37.5% is correct

24 can not be the total number of students in Mr. Castillo's class.

I'm assuming that your answer options are 20, 24, 25, and 30.

out of this set of numbers, 24 can not be divided by 5 (without getting a decimal)
