Answer:

The graph contains the point (5, 12) does NOT correctly describe the graph of y = 5x + 12

Solution:

Given, linear equation in two variable is y = 5x + 12.

We have to select the option that incorrectly describes about given equation.

Now, we have to check one by one option.

a) The line has a constant rate of change.

As the given line is an linear equation it will have constant slope. So this option states correctly

b) The line crosses the y-axis 12 units above the origin

When a line crosses y – axis it x value becomes 0 → y = 5(0) + 12 → y = 12

So, the line crosses the y – axis 12 units above the origin, so this option states correctly.

c) The graph contains the point (5, 12)

To contain (5, 12) in that line → 12 - 5(5) + 12 = 0 but -1 ≠ 0

So, this option is incorrect.

Hence, option c incorrectly describes about the graph.

The menu price of a sandwich at a restaurant is $6. The purchase is subject to a 5% food tax, and you would like to leave a tip

Leya [2.2K]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of sandwich = $6

Food tax = 5% of $6

= 0.05 × $6

= $0.3

Tip = 20% of $6

= 0.2 × $6

= $1.2

Total cost of meal:

= $6 + $0.3 + $1.2

= $7.5

A stereo manufacturer makes three types of stereo systems, I, II, and III, with profits of $20, $30, and $40, respectively. No m

romanna [79]

So,

1. Type I profits $20
2. Type II profits $30
3. Type III profits $40
4. I/day < 100
5. Type I needs 5 hrs.
6. Type II needs 10 hrs.
7. Type III needs 15 hrs.
8. Total hrs. available: 2000 hrs.

Every +5 hrs. spent yields an extra $10.
If we use 500 hrs. to make 100 Type I stereos, we will profit $2000.
If we use 500 hrs. to make 50 Type II stereos, we will profit $1500.
If we use 495 hrs. to make 33 Type III stereos, we will profit $1320.

We should use the first 500 hrs. to make Type I stereos.
We should use the last 1500 hrs. to make Type II stereos.

$2000 + $4500 = x
$6500 = x

There must be 100 Type I stereos made along with 150 Type II stereos made.

Paulina is remodeling her bathroom. the tile she has chosen are squares and trapezoids. the side length of each square inthe til

NemiM [27]

Check the picture below.

is not very specific above, but sounds like it's asking for an equation for the trapezoid only, mind you, there are square tiles too.

but let's do the trapezoid area then,

$\bf a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}} \implies \sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}} \qquad \qquad
\sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}}\implies a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}\quad 
\begin{cases}
A=At\\
a=x\\
h=x\\
b=2x
\end{cases}\implies At=\cfrac{x(x+2x)}{2}
\\\\\\
At=\cfrac{x(3x)}{2}\implies At=\cfrac{3x^2}{2}\impliedby \textit{now, solving for \underline{x}}
\\\\\\
2At=3x^2\implies \cfrac{2At}{3}=x^2\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{2At}{3}}=x\implies \left( \frac{2At}{3} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}=x$
