Will give brainlest 20 pointsthe total cost for sophia to build b birdhouses is represented by the function f(b)=3.5b+24. what does the value 3.5 represent in this situation? for each birdhouse built, the total cost decreases by $3.50. for each birdhouse built, the total cost increases by $3.50. the initial cost is $3.50. the total cost to build b birdhouses is $3.50.

For each birdhouse built, the total cost increases by $3.50.

Let's try some of the answers and see if they work.

The "initial cost" will be the cost when 0 birdhouses are built.

... f(0) = 3.5·0 +24 = 24 . . . . . clearly, not $3.50

Then increasing the number of birdhouses by 1, the cost is ...

... f(1) = 3.5·1 +24 = 27.5 . . . . . the cost has gone up (not down) by $3.50

Clearly the total cost to build 1 birdhouse is not $3.50. (It is $27.50.)

___

Our exploration of the formula leads us to conclude ...

... For each birdhouse built, the total cost increases by $3.50.

a. 74 degrees

step-by-step explanation:

because the lines through the side and the box in the corners shows that these are congruent triangles and since they are mirrored the 37 degrees is also mirrored so the answer is 37 * 2 which is 74.

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
