(3+x)+x=10.5

Simplify

2x = 7.5

x = 3.75

Plug in for x

(3 + 3.75) + 3.75 = 10.5

6.75 + 3.75 = 10.5

The heavier packet of fruit is 6.75 kg.

Find the equation is standard form, of the line passing through he points (2,-3) and (4,2)

Simora [160]

The point slope formula:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$(2,\ -3)\to x_1=2,\ y_1=-3\\(4,\ 2)\to x_2=4,\ y_2=2$

Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{2-(-3)}{4-2}=\dfrac{5}{2}=2.5\\\\y-(-3)=2.5(x-2)\\\\y+3=2.5x-5\ \ \ \ |+5\\\\y+8=2.5x\ \ \ \ \ \ |-y\\\\2.5x-y=8\ \ \ \ \ |\cdot2\\\\\boxed{5x-2y=16}$

From the set 1/2/3/4/5 which values make the inequality n + 1 > true?

saul85 [17]

Hi there!

To make n+1>4 true, you must have n be a numebr greater than 3...

The reason why is because if it is less than 3 or 3, it’ll have to be <.

The two numbers that can make this equation true is 4 and 5...

$4+1=5>4$

$5+1=6>4$

And if it is 1,2, and 3 it would be:

$1+1=2$

$2+1=3$

$3+1=4=4$
