Answer:

So, its better to buy larger bag

Step By Step Explanation:

Let

Smaller bag hold = x ounces

Price of x ounce in smaller bag = $ y

Price of 1 ounce in smaller bag = \frac{y}{x} ....(1

Larger bag will hold = x + 10 ounces

Price of x+10 ounces in larger bag = y + 1.5

Price of 1 ounce in larger bag = \frac{y + 1.5}{x + 10} ...(2

Now equation 1 tells that 1 ounce in smaller costs \frac{y}{x}, and equation 2 tells in ounce in larger bag costs \frac{y + 1.5}{x + 10} .

Now as we can see, we can get equation 2 from equation 1 by increasing numerator by 1.5 and denominator by 10. In this case denominator has increased more than numerator so the value of overall fraction \frac{y + 1.5}{x + 10} would be less than \frac{y}{x} . It means our larger bag has less price per ounce.

So, its better to buy larger bag

The sum of a number and 3 times its reciprocal is -4.Find the number
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

x = -1 or x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3/x = -4

x² + 3 = -4x

x² + 4x + 3 = 0

(x + 1) (x + 3) = 0

x = -1 or x = -3

check: (-1) + (3/-1) = -1 - 3 = -4

           (-3) + (3/(-3)) = -3 -1 = 14
