<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).

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

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

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

You have to find a common denominator 1st then add. So 16 is the common denominator the problem should be 2 7/16+1 14/16+8-16= 3 29/16 then you need to divide 29/16 you will have 4 13/16

Solve the equation 2(x-4)=-22

Tcecarenko [31]

Hello Lexi!

<u><em>Answer: ⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒ $x=-7$ </em></u>

__________________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

First you had to divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

$\frac{2(x-4)}{2}=\frac{-22}{2}$

Simplify.

$\frac{2(x-4)}{2}=x-4$

$\frac{2(x-4)}{2}$

Divide by the numbers.

$\frac{2}{2}=1$

$=x-4$

$\frac{-22}{2}=-11$

Apply the fraction rule.

$\frac{-22}{2}$

$=-\frac{22}{2}$

Then you divide by the number.

$\frac{22}{2}=11$

$=-11$

$x-4=-11$

Add by 4 from both sides of equation.

$x-4+4=-11+4$

Simplify it should be the correct answer.

$x=-7$

The equation of the line which is plotted on the graph and passes from the points (2,5) and (-2,-3) is y=2x-6.

<h3>What is the equation of line?</h3>

The equation of the line is the way of representation of a line in the equation form.

The equitation of the lines represents the line by the set of points on which the line lies or passes through in the coordinate system.

The formula to find equation of line is,

(y-y₁)={(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)}(x-x₁)

Here, x and y are the coordinate and subscript (1,2) used for the first and second point.

The points from which the line passes through are (2,5) and (-2,-3). Put the values,

(y-y₁)={(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)}(x-x₁)

(y-(-2))={(-3-5)/(-2-2)}(x-2)

y+2={-8/-4}(x-2)

y+2=2(x-2)

y+2=2x-4

y=2x-4-2

y=2x-6

Thus, the equation of the line which is plotted on the graph and passes from the points (2,5) and (-2,-3) is y=2x-6.
