<h3>Answer:</h3>

$0.7

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Given sentence:

2.4 pounds of peas cost $1.68.

<u>Writing as an equation:</u>

$\implies 2.4 \ \text{pounds} = \$1.68$

To obtain the cost per pound of peas, divide 2.4 both sides. This will convert the value on the L.H.S to <u>1 pound.</u> The value obtained on the R.H.S will be the the cost (answer).

$\implies \dfrac{2.4 \ \text{pounds}}{2.4} = \$\dfrac{1.68}{2.4}$

$\implies 1 \ \text{pounds}}= \$\dfrac{1.68}{2.4}$

$\implies 1 \ \text{pound} = \$0.7$

I need help is it A B C or D

harina [27]

We evaluate b^2 - 4ac. If the answer is positive, then there are two real solutions. If it is zero, there is one real solution. If it is negative, there are 2 complex solutions. In this equation, a = 1, b = 5, c = 7. Now we plug in the numbers.

$5^{2}-4*1*7=1$

Because this answer is positive, there are two real solutions.

10x+2y=10 in slope intercept form

faust18 [17]

<span>Slope-intercept form is Y = MX + B. This is in standard form, AX + BY = C. You have to move the X to the other side of the equation and simplify it. </span>
<span>10x - 2y = 10 </span>
<span>- 10x - 10x Subtract 10x from both sides </span>
<span>- 2y = - 10x + 10 Now everything is in the right place, but it still needs to be simplified. </span>
<span>Divide each term by -2, in order to isolate the variable Y. </span>
<span>- 2y/ - 2 = - 10x/ - 2 + 10/ - 2 </span>
<span>The answer is: y = 5x - 5</span>

Fill in the blank with a number to make the expression a perfect square.

Sati [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting 16 will make the expression valid and correct since the square of -4 is 16 and the addition of it is -8.

$v^2-8v+16=(v-4)^2$

How do you know that the value of D will decrease when the value of N increases?

zlopas [31]

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Hello! Remember you have to write complete questions in order to find good and exact answers. Here I'll assume that you need a relationship between D and N. So we know some facts:

As N increases, then D decreases

So this is an inverse relationship. We can write this as:

$D\propto \frac{1}{N} \\ \\ \\ \boxed{D=k\frac{1}{N}} \\ \\ \\ \text{Where k is a positive constant}$

Since N lies in the denominator, as it increases then D will decrease. So this is a correct relationship
