Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of water bottles $= w$

The number of juice bottles $= j$

We have, $3w + 4j = 39$

When we purchase 6 bottles of juice, $j = 6$

So,

$3w + 4j = 39$

$3w + 4 \times 6 = 39$

$3w + 24 = 39$

$3w = 39 - 24$

$3w = 15$

$w = \frac{15}{3}$

$w = 5$

Therefore, we can buy 5 bottles of water.

Juice bottles are J, replace j with 6 in the equation and solve for w:

3w + 4(6) = 39

3w + 24 =39

Subtract 24 from both sides:

3w = 15

Divide both sides by 3:

w = 15/3

w = 5

You can buy 5 water bottles.

For the level 3 course, exam hours cost twice as much as workshop hours, workshop hours cost twice as much as lecture hours. How

natulia [17]

<h2>Answer</h2>

Cost of lectures = $7.33 per hour

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Let $e$ the cost of the exam hours

Let $w$ be the cost of the workshop hours

Let $l$ be the cost of the lecture hours.

We know from our problem that exam hours cost twice as much as workshop, so:

$e=2w$ equation (1)

We also know that workshop hours cost twice as much as lecture hours, so:

$w=2l$ equation (2)

Finally, we also know that 3hr exams 24hr workshops and 12hr lectures cost $528, so:

$3e+24w+12l=528$ equation (1)

Now, lets find the value of $l$ :

Step 1. Solve for $l$ in equation (3)

$3e+24w+12l=528$

$12l=528-3e-24w$ equation (4)

Step 2. Replace equation (1) in equation (4) and simplify

$12l=528-3e-24w$

$12l=528-3(2w)-24w$

$12l=528-6w-24w$

$12l=528-30w$ equation (5)

Step 3. Replace equation (2) in equation (5) and solve for $l$

$12l=528-30w$

$12l=528-30(2l)$

$12l=528-60l$

$72l=528$

$l=\frac{528}{72}$

$l=\frac{22}{3}$

$l=7.33$

Cost of lectures = $7.33 per hour

For the diagram below figure b is a reflection of y=2x of the line y =x

Scilla [17]

The equation of the line would be y = (1/2)x.

To find the equation of a line that is reflected through the line y = x, we just switch the x and y. Then, solve for y.

y = 2x
x = 2y
0.5x = y

An internet service provider is implementing a new program based on the number of connected devices in each household. Currently

erica [24]

The current rate is simply equal to $175 per month, let us call this as rate A:

A = 175

The new rate is $94 plus $4.50 per devices, let us call this as rate B:

B = 94 + 4.50 x

where x is the number of devices connected to the network

The inequality equation for us to find x which the new plan is less than current plan is:

94 + 4.50 x < 175

Solving for x:

4.50 x < 81

x < 18

So the number of devices must be less than 18.

- From the graph, we can actually see that the new rate intersects the current rate at number of devices equal to 18. So it should really be below 18 devices.

The profit earned by a sporting goods outlet is modeled in the graph below, where x is the number of years since the outlet open

LenaWriter [7]

The domain would be x ≥ 0.

This is because the outlet cannot have profit before it was open. Therefore, the growth must be from year 0 to present. If they give a year as starting, you can have an upper limit too, but there is not enough information here to determine that information.
