Jason had $32. He spent all the money on buying 4 CDs for $x each and 2 magazines for $y each. If Jason would have bought 5 CDs and 2 magazines, he would have run short of $4.

A student concluded that the price of each CD is $5 and the price of each magazine is $6. Which statement best justifies whether the student's conclusion is correct or incorrect?

ANSWER CHOICES 
The student's conclusion is incorrect because the solution to the system of equations 4x + 2y = 4 and 5x + 2y = 36 is (9, 4).

 The student's conclusion is incorrect because the solution to the system of equations 4x + 2y = 32 and 5x + 2y = 36 is (4, 8).

 The student's conclusion is correct because the solution to the system of equations 4x + 2y = 4 and 5x + 2y = 36 is (5, 6).

 The student's conclusion is correct because the solution to the system of equations 4x + 2y = 32 and 5x + 2y = 36 is (5, 6).

@jewlzme17 is it just your guess?

jewlzme17 · Answer

no, that's the answer..i did the problem. I am really good at math!

anonymous · Answer

@jewlzme17 ok, can you help me with other questions then too ?

jewlzme17 · Answer

ya :) what level of math are you in?

anonymous · Answer

algebra 1 honors

anonymous · Answer

1/2x + 3/2=2^x 

what is the solution

x = 1

 x = 2

 x = 4

 x = 8

anonymous · Answer

ahh.. i'll buy it at a high price!

jewlzme17 · Answer

ya just one sec, um what exactly is this under? like the topic of it all because i want to make sure its correct and i'm not using the incorrect form because there are a few ways you could do this but then you get diff answers.

anonymous · Answer

its in the chapter of system of equations

anonymous · Answer

@jewlzme17 can you help or not? i dont have much time left at all

jewlzme17 · Answer

and there is no "Y"? that's odd since it is in the chapter system of equations but I got "1" but you might want to check that because i'm not positive because it was a weird setup.

anonymous · Answer

yeah its so weird, but im gonna go with 1, thanks, can you help me with more ?

jewlzme17 · Answer

no problem aha sorry if its wrong but sure

anonymous · Answer

its ok, at least you tried,

The tables below show the values of f(x) and g(x) for different values of x.

f(x) = 2(3)x

Based on the tables, what is the solution to the equation 2(3)x = 3x + 3?

anonymous · Answer

answer choices :
x = –1

 x = 0

 x = 1

 x = 6

sleepyjess · Answer

@jewlzme17 ... you need to explain the problem before giving the answer... just giving the answer doesn't help anyone

sleepyjess · Answer

@yeah_i_suck_at_math ... what do you mean you don't have much time left?

the_fizicx99 · Answer

What did you mean by "It helps me to be honest"

sleepyjess · Answer

Giving just the answers is a violation of the rules of this site.

sleepyjess · Answer

And since you are almost out of time, does that mean you are taking a test?

jewlzme17 · Answer

what exactly is that chart showing? like do you just need to fill in anything or can you just solve the equation just like that?

the_fizicx99 · Answer

Why're you erasing your replies lol

sleepyjess · Answer

We aren't allowed to help you on a test.

the_fizicx99 · Answer

Curious.

anonymous · Answer

@jewlzme17 i dont know, i thought it was just one of those sequence functions things, im confused

sleepyjess · Answer

Do you realize that teachers are on here also?  And that if you are caught cheating on a test, you will get an F?

the_fizicx99 · Answer

What?! Wtf does that even mean?!

the_fizicx99 · Answer

-_-

jewlzme17 · Answer

okay i'm sorry that i gave her an answer..i do not want to get into drama and into all this violation stuff so all you need to do for this is just follow everything the chart tells you and fill it in and you will get your answer! ahah bye!

anonymous · Answer

@jewlzme17 my most educated guess was x=1 but idk ...

jewlzme17 · Answer

well yes when you solve  2(3)x = 3x + 3 point blank then you will get 1! and thank you ahah and it just because it happened to my brother and he got kicked off this whole thing for helping someone out and like he wasn't just giving answers but someone didn't like him and reported him for just giving answers and he got kicked off so ya i don't want it to happen to me

the_fizicx99 · Answer

xD or until your IP finally gets banned. :) They can see your IP and decide if they can ban it. That's if your not in a library, otherwise its a possibility.

the_fizicx99 · Answer

FYI, posting exam questions will also get you suspended.

oh, the tragedy!
