Mrs. Gainey planned a dinner for 15 people this Thanksgiving. She bought 22.5 lbs of turkey, plus potatoes, cranberry salad, rol

ls and all of the traditional holiday food. Unfortunately, her daughter forgot to tell her that she was bringing three of her college friends. If Mrs. Gainey wanted to feed each person the same amount of turkey that she had originally planned, how much additional turkey must she purchase to accommodate these additional guests? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest tenth. What percent is each person’s intended serving of turkey reduced?

Each person was to have 1.5 pounds of turkey, but, with the extra people she would have to buy an additional 4.5 pounds of turkey. If she didn’t buy anymore turkey then everyone would get 1.25 pounds of turkey, which is about 1/6 less of what they would have originally gotten. 1/6 is equal to 16.7% or 0.167.

Can someone please help ? :(

Answer:

I'll list the answers as coordinates (just input the second number in each coordinate)

(-2, 11)

(0, 1)

(2, -9)

(4, -19)

Step-by-step explanation:

So you see how the x column is filled out? You plug in the numbers in each area and solve for y.

So we start off with -2. You take the x out and place -2 instead. Your equation should look like this:

y = -5 (-2) + 1

Next you multiply -5 and -2, giving you 10. Your equation would look like this now:

y = 10 + 1

Next you add 10 and 1 together, and you have your answer. Keep doing the same thing, but instead of -2 for x, use 0, 2, and 4.

Hope I helped! Have a nice day or night! ^-^

Answer:

150+12x=630

Step-by-step explanation:

The x represents the amount of months and it is multiplied by 12 because each month costs 12$. 150 have to be paid up front and this added to the monthly fee is equal to 630$

Answer:

-5 = y

Step-by-step explanation:

{y = 6x − 11

{y = x² + 4x − 10

x² + 4x − 10 = 6x − 11

- [6x − 11] - [6x − 11]

________________________

x² - 2x + 1

{[x - 1]}^{2} = 0

1 = x [Plug this back into both equations above to get the y-coordinate of −5]; −5 = y

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
