Answer:
Each slice of bread costs $0.06.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how much each slice of bread costs, you need to divide the cost (0.90) by how many slices there are (15). When you divide the two, you get 0.06. To check your answer you can do 0.06x15 and that will equal $0.90.
Standard form is ax+by=c, we like a and b to be integers, we also like a to be positive
basically get x and y on one side
so
y-4=(3/4)(x+8)
distribte the 3/4
y-4=(3/4)x+6
minus 3/4x from both sides
-(3/4)x+y-4=6
add 4 to both sides
(-3/4)x+y=10
times both sides by -4
3x-4y=-40
Answer:
x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
= 2 - x ( square both sides to clear the radical )
x + 4 = (2 - x)² ← expand using FOIL
x + 4 = 4 - 4x + x² ( subtract x + 4 from both sides )
0 = x² - 5x ← factor out x from each term
0 = x(x - 5)
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x = 0
x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
As a check
substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are the solutions
x = 0
left side = = = 2
right side = 2 - 0 = 2
then x = 0 is a solution
x = 5
left side = = = 3
right side = 2 - 5 = - 3 ≠ 3
then x = 5 is an extraneous solution
