B is the midpoint which means both sides are equal to each other:
5x = 3x + 4
Subtract 3x from both sides
2x = 4
Divide both sides by 2
X = 2
You haven't written the question properly because we have nothing to base y on.
Step 1: move all terms to one side
7 + 2x^2 - 10x = 0
Step 2: Use the quadratic formula
X = 10 + 2(square root of 11). 10-2 _/—-11

Step 3: Simplify solutions
X= 5 + (square root of 11) 5 - (square root 11)

Answer:
Part a) The raisins cost $0.8 per ounce
Part b) 1.25 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>
Jackson bought 5 ounces of raisins for $4 dollars.
a) How much do raisins cost per ounce?
b) How many ounces of raisins can be bought for $1?
Part a) How much do raisins cost per ounce?
we know that
To find out the unit rate divide the total cost by the total weight
so

therefore
The raisins cost $0.8 per ounce
Part b) How many ounces of raisins can be bought for $1?
we know that
The raisins cost $0.8 per ounce
using proportion
Find out how many ounces of raisins can be bought for $1
Let
x -----> the ounces of raisins
