A local florist charges $15 for delivery plus $2.75 per flower for all flower arrangements. When Marcus got the bill for a flower arrangement he ordered, it was less than $50. Which of the following could not represent the number of flowers in the arrangement Marcus ordered?

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

All Charges

$15 for delivery

and $2.75 per flower

let the number of flowers delivered be x

and the total charges for x flowers be y

the linear function for the total charges is

y=2.75x+15

Step two:

when y=$50

50=2.75x+15

50-15=2.75x

35=2.75x

divide both sides by 2.75

x=35/2.75

x=12.72

Note: we are not given the options. We only solved for the flower arrangements

Therefore the number of flowers in the arrangement Marcus ordered

is 12.72 flowers

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b

i think it will be zero as slope has a formula of difference between initial and final distance divided by itz time interval
