Funny, this looks like a complex graph, until you realize that the numerator can be written like (x+3)(x-9).
So really, this is a straight line f(x) = x-9.
But wait, there's a catch. x≠3, because that would divide by zero. So in your straight line, you have to draw a "hole" at (3,6)
Answer:
3/8 of the box
Step-by-step explanation:
On Friday Merinda uses 1/4 of the box of pancake mix to make pancakes.
On Saturday she uses 1 1/2 times as much pancake mix as Friday.
On Friday = 1/4 of the box
On Saturday = 1 1/2 × pancake mix as Friday

Hence, 3/8 of the box of pancake mix does Merinda use on Saturday.
