So write the equation
g(x)=200.25x+5500
f(x)=225.75x+5041
make them equal
225.75x+5041=200.25x+5500
225.75x=200.25x+459
25.5x=459
x=18
So at 18 tons, and costs 9104.5

1. A recipe calls for cups of flour, cup of white sugar, and cup of brown sugar. The recipe makes 6 servings.

1. This problem lacks given values, where are the numbers? Just fill-in the numbers I will variables in this case.

Let us say that:

x = number of cups of flour

y = number of cups of white sugar

z = number of cups of brown sugar

(a) Just divide x by 6 to get cups of flour per serving

x / 6

(b) Simply add y and z and divide the sum by 6

(y + z)/6

(c) From (a) we know that there are x / 6 flours per serving, so simply multiply that by 9 then subtract the original x to know how much more you need:

[(x / 6) * 9] – x

 

2.

(a) We know that we deposit $5 per day, so after 5 days we got:

total deposit = ($5 / day) * 5 days = $25

(b) The total deposit is 25 dollars, so removing $2 a day we need:

25 / 2 = 12.5 days

 

3.

(a) d is distance, R is rate, T is time

32.12 = 8.8 T

(b) It is rightful to write distance d as a positive number since the scuba diver was ascending towards the surface. If this is to be plotted on a Cartesian plane, we are moving towards the positive y axis

(c) solving for T:

32.12 = 8.8 T

T = 32.12 / 8.8

T = 3.65 minutes

Is (-1,2) a solution of y=-5x+7
Arlecino [84]

No, it is not. I will show you:

-1 = x  and 2 = y

2 = -5(-1) + 7

2 is not equal to 12. I hope this is right!
