I believe it's C) 60 because ideally it would be 3 for every 25, 20 x 25 = 200, so then you would do 3 x 20 = 60

Answer:

Number of cartons out of 25 which contains cracked eggs = 3 cartons

If number of cartons is 1 , then number of cartons containing cracked eggs  is

=\frac{3}{25}

               -------------------------------------(1)

So, if number of cartons is 500, then number of cartons containing cracked eggs be x.

So, If number of cartons is 1 , then number of cracked cartons is

=\frac{x}{500}

                           -----------------------------------(2)

Equating (1) and (2)

\frac{x}{500}=\frac{3}{25}\\\\25 x=500 \times 3\\\\ x=\frac{1500}{25}\\\\x=60

Option C: 60 , is number of cracked cartons, if number of  cartons with cracked eggs in a delivery of 500 cartons.

Solve y = x2 +11 for x.
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

x = ±sqrt(y-11)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 +11

Subtract 11 from each side

y -11 = x^2 +11-11

y-11 = x^2

Take the square root of each side

±sqrt(y-11) = sqrt(x^2)

±sqrt(y-11) = x

The graph below shows a quadratic function f(x) and an absolute value function g(x)
Sophie [7]

Answer:

The x-values that are approximate solution of the equation f(x) = g(x) are x_{1} \approx -3.5 and x_{2}\approx 5, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

From graph we infer that the x-values that represents a solution to the system of equations corresponds to those values of x in which both functions coincide. As we see, there are two x-values for f(x) = g(x), which are described below:

x_{1} \approx -3.5 and x_{2}\approx 5

The x-values that are approximate solution of the equation f(x) = g(x) are x_{1} \approx -3.5 and x_{2}\approx 5, respectively.
