You need to purchase supplies for building a backyard deck. Your boss gives you the supply list and asks that you get the best deal by buying from either True Builder or Quality Supplies. You call both stores, and they provide the price information that you put into the table below. Which store provides the lowest total cost, and what is the cost without sales tax?

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!

what statement? is there an image?

-1/3(x+1)^5

i’m pretty sure this is correct
