Answer:
$15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start by figuring out how much 1 cup of oil costs.
12 cups of oil is 36$
Let's set up a proportion.
12/36=1/x
Cross Multiply
12x=36
Divide both sides by 12.
x=3
1 cup of oil is $3.
Dinesh makes 5 batches of hummus, and each batch requires 1 cup of oil.
5*1=5
This means he needs 5 cups of oil.
5*3=15
He used $15 worth of oil in the 5 batches of his recipe.
However, since it is impossible to buy 5/12 bottles of oil, he would have needed to spend $36.
The correct answer is: [A]: " <span>x(y – 5) = 2 " .

Consider:
_____________________________________________________
Choice: [A]: " x(y–5) = 2 " ;
Divide each side by "x" ;
" [x(y – 5)] / x = 2/x " ;
→ y – 5 = 2/x ;
Add "5" to each side of the equation:
y – 5 + 5 = 2/x + 5 ;
→ y = 2/x + 5 ; not a line; since one cannot divide by "zero" ; there would be no "point" on the graph at "x = 0". So, this answer choice: [A] is correct.

Choice [B]:
y -2x -18 = 0
y - 2x = 18
y = 18 + 2x ; y = 2x + 18 ; is a line.
_________________________________________________
Choice C) 3y + 12 - 6x = 5 ;
3y = 5 - 12 + 6x ;
3y = -7 + 6x ; 3y = 6x - 7 ; y = 6x/3 - 7/3 ; y = 2x - 7/3 ; is a line.
_________________________________________________
Choice: [D]:
2(y+x) = 0 ;
[2*(y+x)] / 2 = 0/2 ; y + x = 0 ; y = -x ; is a line.

A 5 is best predicted number
Since most of these are mixed number you have to convert them into improper fractions.
For an example 2 3/4 x 1/2
First you would have the convert 2 3/4
You would add 2 to 3 then multiply 2 to 4
So it would be (2x4) + 3
You keep the denominator of the originally fraction so it would be 11/4
Then to finish you would multiply straight across so
11x1= 11
4x2=8
11/8
1 3/8
Hope this helps!!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
PEMDAS is the order of operation and stands for:
Parenthesis
Exponents (& Roots)
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
First, add 3 to both sides of the equation:
u = -3a - 3
u (+3) = -3a - 3 (+3)
u + 3 = -3a
Next, divide -3 from both sides of the equation:
(u + 3)/-3 = (-3a)/-3
a = (u + 3)/-3
is your answer.
