The equation would be y = -5/2x - 14. Since the slope and a coordinate pair was given, I used point slope form to figure out the equation.

Work:

y - 6 = -5/2 (x+8)
y - 6 = -5/2x - 20
+ 6 +6
______________
y = -5/2x - 14

A baker uses 131 2 cups of flour to make key lime bread. She uses 21 4 cups of flour to make each loaf. The baker sells 2 3 of t

Answer:

She sells 4 loaves of key lime bread

Step-by-step explanation:

Extracting the key information from the question:

*** A baker uses 13 1/2 cups of flour to make key lime bread

*** She uses 2 1/4 cups to make each loaf.

*** She sells 2/3 of the loaves of bread that she makes.

Now, since she uses 2 1/4 to make each loaf, we will convert this into improper fraction.

2 1/4 = [(4×2)+1]/4 = 9/4

She uses a total of 13 1/2 cups of flour to make all loaves.

To find the number of loaves she makes, we will divide the overall quantity of flour used by the quantity used to make a loaf

13 1/2 ÷ 2 1/4

Since 13 1/2 and 2 1/4 are the same as 27/2 and 9/4 respectively (mixed to improper fractions), we will then divide 27/2 by 9/4

= 27/2 × 4/9 = 6 loaves (total bread she makes).

Again, we learnt she sells 2/3 of the total loaves she makes.

Since total = 6, then 2/3 of 6 is:

2/3 × 6 = 4 loaves .

Therefore, the baker sells 4 loaves of key lime bread.

Solve for x: 2(x 3)2 − 4 = 0 Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. X = 4. 41, 1. 59 x = 1. 34, 5. 24 x = −1. 34, −5. 24 x

The two values when the provided quadratic equation is solved for the x are -4.41 and -1.59 to the nearest hundredth.

<h3>What is a quadratic equation?</h3>

A quadratic equation is the equation in which the unknown variable is one and the highest power of the unknown variable is two.

The standard form of the quadratic equation is,

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

Here, (<em>a,b,c</em>) are the real numbers and <em>x </em>is the variable.

To find the value of x, the following formula is used,

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

The given equation is,

$2(x+ 3)^2 - 4 = 0$

To solve this equation, we need to apply some mathematical operations over it. Let's start with opening the brackets.

$2(x+ 3)^2 - 4 = 0\\2(x^2+6x+9)-4=0\\2x^2+12x+14-4\\2x^2+12x+12=0\\x^2+6x+7=0$

On comparing with standard equation we get,

$a=1, b=6, c=7$

Put this values in the above formula,

$x=\dfrac{-(6)\pm\sqrt{(6)^2-4(1)(7)}}{2(1)}\\x=\dfrac{-(6)\pm\sqrt{(6)^2-4(1)(7)}}{2(1)}\\x=-4.41,-1.59$

Hence, the two values when the provided quadratic equation is solved for the x are -4.41 and -1.59 to the nearest hundredth.

Original price: $? Discount: 20% Sale Price: $75

Bad White [126]

Answer:

the answer is 60

Step-by-step explanation:

so you see that there's 20 percent right, you find what number u can add it by to get 100, so 80+20=100 so u do that and put it in a decimal form which is 0.8 and you multiply it by the price so 0.8 x 75= 60

A new computer can complete a complex biochemistry calculation in 7 hours less than an older-model computer. Working together, t

Alchen [17]

The rate a computer works is 1/time. Working together, you add the rates.
Let new computer be x, old computer be y.
x = y - 7

$\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{13} \\ \\ \frac{1}{y-7}+\frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{13} \\ \\ \frac{2y-7}{y(y-7)} = \frac{1}{13} \\ \\ y(y-7) = 13(2y-7) \\ \\ y^2-33y+91 = 0 \\ \\ y = 29.96 \\ \\ x = y-7 = 29.96-7 = 22.96$
Rounded to nearest tenth gives:
x = 23 hours
