Sample Response/Explanation: I would use the square root property of equality. Because there is no x term, I would just add and divide to get x2 by itself. Then I would take the square root.

I would add 7 to get ...

... 2x² = 16

then divide by 2 to get

... x² = 8

Now, I would take the square root, recognizing that both positive and negative values will solve the problem.

... x = ±√8

The root can be simplified, so we have ...

... x = ±2√2

_____

The above method seemed the most obvious method to me. One could use the quadratic formula, but that seems to involve more operations.

... 2x² -16 = 0 . . . . subtract 9

... x = (-0 ± √(0² -4·2·(-16)))/(2·2) . . . . put the coefficients into the formula

... x = ±(√128)/4 = ±√8 = ±2√2 . . . . . simplify the result

Which graph shows the solution to the system of linear inequalities? x – 4y < 4 y < x + 1 Image for option 1 Image for opt
slava [35]

Answer:

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x-4y ----> inequality A

solve for y

-4y

4y>x-4

y> (x/4)-1

The solution of the inequality A is the shaded area above the dashed line

The slope of the dashed line is positive

The y-intercept is the point (0,-1)

The x-intercept is the point (4,0)

y< x+1 ----> inequality B

The solution of the inequality B is the shaded area below the dashed line

The slope of the dashed line is positive

The y-intercept is the point (0,1)

The x-intercept is the point (-1,0)

Nevaeh has $560 to spend at a bicycle store for some new gear and biking outfits. Assume all prices listed include tax. She buys
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The number of outfits she purchase with the left money = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The exact question is as follows :

Given - Nevaeh has $560 to spend at a bicycle store for some new gear and biking outfits. Assume all prices listed include tax. She buys a new bicycle for $383.32. She buys 4 bicycle reflectors for $9.09 each and a pair of bike gloves for $21.07. She plans to spend some or all of the money she has left to buy new biking outfits for $39.75 each.

To find - Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine  x  where x, the number of outfits Nevaeh can purchase while staying within her budget.

Proof -

Given that,

Total money Nevaeh have = $ 560

She spent money on bicycle = $ 383.32

She spend money on 1 reflector = $ 9.09

As she buy 4 bicycle reflector, So

Total money spent on bicycle reflector = $ 4×9.09 = $ 36.36

She spend money on a pair of bike gloves = $ 21.07

So,

Total money she spend on the items = $ 383.32 + 36.36 + 21.07

                                                              = $ 440.75

⇒Total money she spend on the items = $ 440.75

So,

Total money Left = $ 560 - $ 440.75 = $ 119.25

Now,

She plans to spend some or all of the money she has left to buy new biking outfits for $ 39.75 each.

Let us assume ,

The number of outfits she purchase with the left money = x

AS,

each outfit cost = $ 39.75

So, x outfits cost = $ 39.75 x

Now,

$ 39.75 x = $ 119.25     (because total money left = $ 119.25)

⇒ x = \frac{119.25}{39.75} = 3

∴ we get

The number of outfits she purchase with the left money = x = 3
