Answer:

The cost of one pound of peanuts is $\$6.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using proportion

$\frac{16.25}{2.6}\frac{\$}{pounds} =\frac{x}{1}\frac{\$}{pound}\\ \\x=16.25/2.6\\ \\x=\$6.25$

About 6.25 All you have to do is divide 16.25 by 2.6

<span>Question 2.2. Which ordered pairs make the inequality true?</span><span>2x + y > –4</span>The solutions are (-1, 2) and (1, -5), look at the graph in the attachment.

Question 3.3. What is the slope of the line represented by the equation?

There is no equation

Question 4.4. What is the slope of the line represented by the equation 6x - 3y = 4?

Convert to slope-intercept form:

6x - 3y = 4

Subtract 6x to both sides:

-3y = -6x + 4

Divide -3 to both sides:

y = -6/-3x + 4/-3

Simplify:

y = 2x - 4/3

Now it's in slope intercept form, y = mx + b, where 'm' is the slope. So the slope here is 2.

Question 5.5. What is the simplified form of the expression?

15y - 3(4y + 10)

Distribute -3 into the parenthesis:

15y - 12y - 30

Combine like terms:

3y - 30
