You need to make an inequality. You know 5 pounds will serve 14 people but you don't know how much you need to serve 49 people so you need to set up the equation $\frac{5}{14} * \frac{x}{49}$ . You then cross multiply to get $14x=245$ . Finally you divide 14 on both sides to get x=17.5 lbs of pasta salad

stepladder [879]

Answer:

D) -4x+14

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with the expression

3 - (4x - 5) + 6

Here we are going to open the bracket at first step

as we have a negative sign in front of bracket the signs of the terms inside brackets will be reversed

3-4x+5+6

now we bring the like terms together

3+5+6 - 4x

Here 3, 5, 6 all are constant and hence like

14-4x

or

3 - (4x - 5) + 6= -4x+14

Hence our answer is -4x+14

If n represents a number then write an expression for two less than one fourth of n

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: $\frac{1}{4}n-2$

This is the same as $\frac{n}{4} - 2$ and it is also equivalent to $0.25n-2$

=====================================================

Explanation:

n is some placeholder for a number

one fourth of that number is $\frac{1}{4}n$ which is the same as $\frac{n}{4}$ or $0.25n$ since 1/4 = 0.25

From here, we subtract off 2 to get $\frac{1}{4}n-2$ as one possible final answer.
