\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
\stackrel{cake}{oz}&calories\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
7.5&900\\
2.5&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{7.5}{2.5}=\cfrac{900}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{2.5\cdot 900}{7.5}

so, the 2.5oz cake will be "x" calories, pheeew, she'll be taking in 900 - x less calories.

What solution do 2x2 - 13x + 21 = 0 and 2x2 + 9x - 56 = 0 have in common? Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.
lys-0071 [83]
So if we want to know the common solution(s) to a system of 2 equations, So we can just set both equations equal to each other and solve for the x value(s). That’s where I start below;

2x^2-13x+21 = 2x^2+9x-56
2x^2 cancels out and moving everything to one side and anything with an x variable to the other side we have then;
-22x=-77
22x=77 by cancelling the negative signs
x=77/22 therefore x=7/2 or 3.5

Hope this helps you. Any questions please ask.

Chen kept track of how many baskets were made in a basketball game. After 6 minutes, 5 baskets were made. How long did it take u
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Assuming the same pace was kept, it would take 9.6 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find this by setting up a proportion and then cross multiplying.

5 baskets/6 mins = 8 baskets/x mins

5 * x = 6 * 8

5x = 48

x = 9.6

URGENT PLEASE HELP ME, ITS DUE IN A HOUR ​
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Area of gray region = 8x^2+8x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

The area covered by the furniture can be subtracted from the total area of the room to calculate the area of the gray region.

<em>Total</em> area of the room: 13x^2+7x-2

Area taken up by furniture: 5x^2-x+5

Area of gray region = total area of the room - area taken up by furniture

Area of gray region = 13x^2+7x-2-(5x^2-x+5)

Remember to distribute the negative sign:

Area of gray region = 13x^2+7x-2-5x^2+x-5

Combine like terms:

Area of gray region = 8x^2+8x-7
