Answer:
2 cakes with the sugar she has and there will still be some sugar left.
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of sugar in the cabinet of Cassie = 1/2 pound
Amount of sugar required by Cassie to make her cake recipe = 2/10 pound
= 1/5 pounds
Then
The number of cakes that Cassie can make = (1/2)/(1/5)
= 5/2
= 2 1/2
-14x + 14 = 8
A hot-air balloon has an 8-foot diameter that is changing at a rate of 14 foot per minute. How long in minutes, x, will it take until the balloon has a diameter of 14 feet?
We observe that when we clear x we have:
-14x = 14-8
-14x = 6
Which means that the balloon will not reach a diameter of 14 feet
First subtract -19 - 1 = -20
Next, + (-24) is the same as just simply subtracting 24
-20 - 24
Subtract that and you get -44
Answer:
B) 8 and 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
Just by looking at the answer choices, since one number must be three times the other, we can determine that the correct answer is B.
Regardless, let's work this out mathematically. Let the first number be <em>a</em> and the second number be <em>b</em>.
Their difference is 16. Hence:

The first number is three times the second number. So:

Substitute:

Solve for <em>b</em>. Subtract:

And divide both sides by two:

So, the second number is 8.
And since the first number is three times the second, the first number is 24.
Our answer is B as expected.
Answer:
C. 
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the formula to find the slope: 
(-1.5, 1.5) & (1.5, 0)

The slope is
