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

Two women start at the same point. they walk in opposite directions for 3 meters, then turn right and walk another 4 meters. how
8_murik_8 [283]

The total distance between the two women would simply be the sum of the hypotenuse formed by the triangular path they created.

For each women:

<span>c^2  = a^2 + b^2</span>

c^2 = 3^2 + 4^2

c^2 = 9 + 16

c^2 = 25

c = 5 m

Therefore the distance between the two is:

distance between the two women = 2 * c

<span>distance between the two women = 10 m</span>

Are the following lines parallel perpendicular or neither y=-5/3x - 5 and y=4/3x - 5​
katrin [286]

Answer:

neither

Step-by-step explanation:

For lines to be parallels the slopes must be equal, for the lines to be perpendicular the lines have to be inverse reciprocals  meaning if you have a slope of 1/2X then the perpendicular line must be -2X

What is ✓ 75 in simplified form?<br> O 5V5<br> 0 2573<br> O 3V 5<br> O 3V 25
faust18 [17]
It should be 5√3

Because 25 x 3 = 75

√25=5 so u bring that out and keep the 3 in because it’s a prime number

Need help don’t understand
adoni [48]

there is an equation for straight lines which goes

y-y,=m(x-x,)

where( x, , y, ) is any coordinate on the line and m is the gradient

so your answer is

y-7= -2(x-4)

does this make sense?
