Fiona bought some socks that cost $4.95 for each pair and some belts that cost $6.55 each. Fiona spent $27.95 in all. Let a represent the number of pairs of socks purchased and b the number of belts purchased

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The question lacks the total number of socks and belts altogether. Thsi value is necessary so that we can create another equation to solve the unknowns.

if assumed that a = b, the answer, a = b = 2.43 will not make sense since you cannot buy 43% of a pair of socks. Completely define the conditions so that the answer can be obtained. 

by trial and error, 3 pair of socks and 2 belts would be a sensible answer
Answer 2
Answer:

The answer is "C" 4.95a + 6.55b = 27.95

Which of the following equations is of a parabola with a vertex at (0, 3)?

Answers

Parabola has a vertex at: ( 0, 3 )
h = 0, k = 3;
y = a ( x - h )² + k
a = 1
y = ( x - 0 )² + 3
y = x² + 3
Answer:
The parabola with a vertex at ( 0, 3 ) is : y = x² + 3

The equation that is of a parabola with a vertex at (0, -3), is y=x^2+3.
