Hi,
The cost of 6 bedspreads and 8 pillows is $448.12.
Three bedspreads and 10 pillows cost $323.00.
Find the cost of each bedspreadhighlight%28x%29 and each pillowhighlight%28y%29.
Translate into two equations:
6x + 8y = 448.12
3x + 10y = 323.00 ||Multiply 2nd Eq by -2 and add to 1st EQ to eliminate x
-12y = -197.88

Hi,
a boat takes 3 hours to travel 30 km down a river,
then 5 hours to return. how fast is the river flowing?
Note: D/t = r
r + c = 10 30km%2F3hr

Hi,
The longer leghighlight%28b%29 of a given right triangle is 7ft greater in length than the shorter leghighlight%28a%29 of the triangle.
The hypotenusehighlight%28c%29 is 2ft greater in length than the longer leghighlight%28b%29 of the triangle.
Using the Pythagorean Theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + (a+7)^2 = (a+9)^2
a^2 + a^2 + 14a + 49 = a^2 + 18a + 81
a^2 - 4a - 32 = 0
factoring
(a -8)(a + 4) = 0
(a + 4) = 0 , a = -4 ||disregard negative solution for unit measure
0r (a - 8)= 0 , a = 8ft, b = 15ft, c = 17ft

Hi,
vertex(2,-8) and line of symmetry x = 2 and intercepts shown
Range: F(x) ≥ -8, Domain: x all real numbers
f Increaseing ( 2,∞ ) and f is decreasing(−∞,2)
F(x) = x^2 - 4x- 4 = x^2 - 4x + 4 - 4 - 4 = (x-2)^2 - 8

Hi,
Re TY
'combining' the d terms requires -2d to be added to both sides
2d+6=3(d-3)
2d + 6 = 3d - 9 ||Adding 9 and -2d to both sides of the EQ
15 = d
