Answer: 2.5 pounds of beef  and 3.25 pounds of pork

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the answer is incomplete because is lacking how much more pork she bought. <em>She bought 0.75 pounds more pork than beef and spends $15.25</em>, is the complete form.

So, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • <em>Beef: $3.50 per pound </em>
  • <em>Pork: $2.00 per pound </em>
  • <em>Pounds of beef = x </em>
  • <em>Pounds of pork = x + 0.75 </em>
  • <em>Total cost : $15.25</em>

So, the equation is:

3.50x + 2 (x+0.75) = 15.25

3.50x +2x + 1.5 =15.25

5.50 x = 15.25 -1.5

5.50x = 13.75

x = 13.75/5.50  

x = 2.5 pounds of beef

Replacing the value of x in the Pork's equation:

Pounds of pork = x +0.75 = 0.75 +2.5 = 3.25 pounds of pork

Find the average rate of change of f(x)=2x-1 from x=-1 to x=2
MrMuchimi

The average rate of change from x = -1 to x = 2 is 2

<u>Solution:</u>

Given function is:

f(x) = 2x - 1

We have to find the average rate of change from x = -1 to x = 2

<em><u>The average rate of change is given as:</u></em>

\text {Average rate of change}=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

<em><u>The average rate of change from x = -1 to x = 2 is given by formula:</u></em>

\text {Average rate of change}=\frac{f(2)-f(-1)}{2-(-1)}\\\\\text {Average rate of change}=\frac{f(2)-f(-1)}{3}

<em><u>Find f(2) and f( - 1)</u></em>

<em><u>Substitute x = 2 in given function</u></em>

f(2) = 2(2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3

<em><u>Substitute x = -1 in given function</u></em>

f( - 1) = 2(-1) - 1 = -2 - 1 = -3

<em><u>Substitute the values in above formula,</u></em>

\text {Average rate of change}=\frac{3-(-3)}{3}=\frac{6}{3}=2

Thus average rate of change from x = -1 to x = 2 is 2

Find the distance between the two points in simplest radical form <br> (4,6) and (-2,9)
MrRa [10]

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{9})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d = \sqrt{(-2-4)^2+(9-6)^2}\implies d = \sqrt{(-6)^2+3^2}\implies d = \sqrt{36+9} \\\\\\ d = \sqrt{45}\implies d = \sqrt{9\cdot 5}\implies d=\sqrt{3^2\cdot 5}\implies d = 3\sqrt{5}

pls help me with this if you know it also to explain it thanks Solve the equation -21 + 70n = 77 for n.
gogolik [260]

Answer:

n = 1 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

-21 + 70n = 77

Add 21 to each side

-21+21 + 70n = 77 +21

70n = 98

Divide each side by 70

70n/70 = 98/70

n =98/70

n = 70/70 +28/70

n = 1 + 2/5

n = 1 2/5
