Answer:

D 12½%

Step-by-step explanation:

∆=1.5/2-2/3

=4.5/6-4/6

=0.5/6

∆=0.083 $/lb

X=∆/(original price)•100

=0.083/(2/3)•100

=0.1245•100

X=12.45%

Can someone help me <br><br> 1.3x-338
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Equivalent expressions are expressions which are equal. This means they simplify to the same expression. Simplify the two expressions -1.3x - (-8.9x) = 7.6x and -1.3 + (-8.9X) = -10.2x.

Then simplify each option to determine if it is equal -1.3x - (-8.9x), -1.3 + (-8.9X) or neither:

−1.3x−8.9x  = -10.2x. This is equivalent to  -1.3 + (-8.9X) .

8.9x+(−1.3x)  = 7.6x This is equivalent to  -1.3x - (-8.9x) .

−8.9x+(−1.3x)  = -10.2x This is equivalent to  -1.3 + (-8.9X) .

8.9x−(−1.3x)  = 10.2x Neither

−1.3x+8.9x  = 7.6x This is equivalent to  -1.3x - (-8.9x)  .

−8.9x+1.3x = -7.6x Neither

Could anyone help me with this? Thanks
NeTakaya

Answer:

M: (2,-2)

N: (1,2)

O: (2,-4)

P: (5, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

What you would do is find out where the two lines intercross. The 2 right quadrants are positive. The two left are negative. Count the lines and figure out the ordered pair. X is left and right, y is up and down. For example, if you were given a ordered pair, (4,-2) you would go up four, and left 2.

rjkz [21]
One cat has four paws, so there are 120/4=30 cats.  If a "set" of cats is two uncool cats and three cool cats, there are five cats in a set, so there are 30/5=6 sets.  Since each of the six sets contains three cool cats, there are 18 cool cats in the family.
