I think that you typed wrongly. That has to be f(x)= -2x+8
If f(x)= -2x+8, we can solve that problem.
We replace x= -1.8 in that expression, that means: f(-1.8)= -2x(-1.8)+8= 3.6+8=11.6
But if the formula of f(x)=-2+8, that means f(x) has a stable value and that value is -2+8=6.
So for all x we always have f(x)=f(-1.8)=6
Let C be the amount of compost
T be the amount of topsoil
Each compost cost = $25
Cost of C compost = 25C
Each topsoil cost = $15
Cost of T topsoil = 15T
Amount of compost + amount of topsoil = 10
C + T = 10 -------> Equation 1
cost of C compost + cost of T topsoil = 180
25C + 15T = 180 --------> equation 2
Solve the first equation for C
C + T = 10
C = 10 - T
Now plug it in second equation
25C + 15T = 180
25 ( 10 - T) +15T = 180
250 - 25T + 15T = 180 (combine like terms)
250 - 10 T = 180 (Subtract 250 on both sides)
-10T = 180 - 250
-10T = -70 ( divide by -10 on both sides)
T = 7
She purchased 7 cubic yards of topsoil .
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given triangles are similar, so we setup a proportion
(140-x)/81 = x/9
solving gives x = 14
AC = 140-x = 140-14 = 126
Answer:
Sheet metal costs <u>$20</u> per square foot.
Step-by-step explanation:
7.6x - 2.3x = 106
We are finding the value of x.
5.3x = 106
Divide both sides by 5.3.
x = 106 ÷ 5.3
x = 20
The constraints for the problem is the number of tomatoes and cups of oil on hand.
There are only 45 tomatoes and 10 cups of oil on hand to make both the Tuscan sauce and Marinara sauce.
These are identified as constraints because they limit the number of Tuscan sauce and Marinara sauce that Tiffany can make.
