Answer: The unit price = <u>$0.90</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given statement : 6.5 pounds for $5.85

i.e. 6.5 pounds costs $5.85.

Then to find the cost of 1 pound we divide the cost of 6.5 pounds by 6.5. we get

The cost of 1 pound = $\dfrac{5.85}{6.5}=\dfrac{585}{650}\\\\=\dfrac{9}{10}=0.90$

Hence, the cost of 1 pound = $0.90

i.e. The unit price = $0.90

Which equation represents a line that passes through 4 6) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 3x - 4y= 6

Pachacha [2.7K]

Parallel means their slopes should equal to each other.

Thus we need to find the slope of the given line ,

Let's do it.....

$3x - 4y = 6$

Subtract sides -3x

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

$- 4y = - 3x + 6$

Divided sides by -4

$\frac{ - 4}{ - 4}y = \frac{ - 3}{ - 4}x + \frac{6}{ - 4} \\$

$y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{3}{2} \\$

This is the slope-intercept of the line.

We know that the coefficient of the x in slope-intercept form , is the slope of the line.

Thus the slope of the equation which we want is :

$slope = \frac{3}{4} \\$

_________________________________

We have following equation to find the point-slope form of the linear functions.

$y - y(given \: point) = slope \times (x - x(g \: p) \: ) \\$

Now just need to put the slope and the given point in the above equation.

$y - 6 = \frac{3}{4} \times (x - 4) \\$

Multiply sides by 4

$4(y - 6) = 3(x - 4)$

$4y - 24 = 3x - 12$

Plus sides 24

$4y - 24 + 24 = 3x - 12 + 24$

$4y = 3x + 12$

Subtract sides -3x

$4y - 3x = 3x - 3x + 12$

$4y - 3x = 12$

And we're done....♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Identify the factor terms by grouping: 5x3 – 4x2 + 20x – 16

Elanso [62]

5x3-4x2-20x+16=0 Three solutions were found : x = 4/5 = 0.800 x = 2 x = -2Reformatting the input :Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "x2" was replaced by "x^2". 1 more similar replacement(s).
Step by step solution :Step 1 :Equation at the end of step 1 : (((5 • (x3)) - 22x2) - 20x) + 16 = 0 Step 2 :Equation at the end of step 2 : ((5x3 - 22x2) - 20x) + 16 = 0 Step 3 :Checking for a perfect cube : 3.1 5x3-4x2-20x+16 is not a perfect cube
Trying to factor by pulling out : 3.2 Factoring: 5x3-4x2-20x+16
Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :
Group 1: 5x3+16 Group 2: -4x2-20x
Pull out from each group separately :
Group 1: (5x3+16) • (1)Group 2: (x+5) • (-4x)

I hope it helps
