Brand A:

42 for $2.17 0.05

$2.17/42 = $0.05

Unit price - $0.05

Brand B:

48 for $3.97

$3.97/48 = $0.08

Unit price - $0.08

The better buy is Brand A because the unit price is $0.05 which is cheaper than Brand B which the unit price is $0.08.

Hope this Helps!!

What is the measure of

harina [27]

Answer:

<DAB = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

7)

<DAB = ?

<DAB + <DCB = 180

so

16x + 8 + 8x + 4 = 180

24x + 12 = 180

24x = 168

x = 7

<DAB = 16(7) + 8 = 120

One end of a line segment has the coordinates (-6,2). If

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The coordinates of the other end is $(16,2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$End 1: (-6,2)$

$Midpoint: (5,2)$

Required

Find the coordinates of the other end

Let Midpoint be represented by (x,y);

(x,y) = (5,2) is calculated as thus

$(x,y) = (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$

So

$x = \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}$ and $y = \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}$

Where $(x_1,y_1) = (-6,2)$ and $(x,y) = (5,2)$

So, we're solving for $(x_2,y_2)$

Solving for $x_2$

$x = \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}$

Substitute 5 for x and -6 for x₁

$5 = \frac{-6 + x_2}{2}$

Multiply both sides by 2

$2 * 5 = \frac{-6 + x_2}{2} * 2$

$10 = -6 + x_2$

Add 6 to both sides

$6 + 10 = -6 +6 + x_2$

$x_2 = 16$

Solving for $y_2$

$y = \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}$

Substitute 2 for y and 2 for y₁

$2 = \frac{2 + y_2}{2}$

Multiply both sides by 2

$2 * 2 = \frac{2 + y_2}{2} * 2$

$4 = 2 + y_2$

Subtract 2 from both sides

$4 - 2 = 2 - 2 + y_2$

$y_2 = 2$

$(x_2,y_2) = (16,2)$

Hence, the coordinates of the other end is $(16,2)$
