Answer:
a) 
b) 
Dividing both sides by 0.448 we got:

We can appy the exponent
in both sides of the equation and we got:

Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we know the following function:

The notation is: x is the weight of the crab in grams, and the output f(x) is the weight of the claws in grams.
Part a
For this case we just need to replace x = 2 gram in the function and we got:

Part b
For this case we know tha value for
and we want to find the value of x who satisfy this condition:

Dividing both sides by 0.448 we got:

We can appy the exponent
in both sides of the equation and we got:

Answer:
m∠XAZ = 40°
Step-by-step explanation:
Since ∠YAU, ∠YAZ and ∠XAZ are the angles based at a point on a straight line, and the sum of the all angles on a line is 180°.
Therefore, m∠YAU + m∠YAZ + m∠XAZ = 180°
50° + 90° + m∠XAZ = 180°
m∠XAZ = 180° - 140°
= 40°
Therefore, measure of angle XAZ is 40°.
-1(12w - 6) is not equivalent because when the -1 is distributed, the equation becomes -12w + 6, not 12w + 6
