At Open Skate Night, admission is $3.75 with a membership card and $5.00 without a membership card. Skate rentals are $3.00. The Moores paid $6 more for skate rentals than the Cotters did. Together, the two families paid $42 for skate rentals. How many pairs of skates did the Moores rent? The Moores rented 9 pairs of skates.

8 skates

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Skate rental = $3

Let number of skates rented by cotters = x

Hence, amount paid by cotters = 3x

The Moores paid $6 more

Moores amount = 3x + 6

Combined amount paid = 42

3x + 3x + 6 = 42

6x + 6 = 42

6x = 42 - 6

6x = 36

x = 36 / 6

x = 6

Hence, amount spent by the Moore's:

3x + 6

3(6) + 6 = 18 + 6 = $24

Cost per skate rental = $3

Hence x number of skates rented by the Moore's = $24 / 3 = 8 skates

- 2 + 10x³ - 21x² + 19x - 4

step-by-step explanation:

each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor

x²(- 2x² + 4x - 1) - 3x(- 2x² + 4x - 1) + 4(- 2x² + 4x - 1) ← distribute

= - 2 + 4x³ - x² + 6x³ - 12x² + 3x -8x² + 16x - 4

collect like terms

= - 2 + 10x³ - 21x² + 19x - 4 ← in standard form

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
