The 5-pound bag is better value.

The easiest way to compare and find out which is a better buy is to find out how much is being charged for 1-pound of food in each bag.

$12 is divided by 3 beacuse it's a 3-pound bag and we are aiming to find what 1-pound is equal to.

$12 ÷ 3 = $4

So the first bag charges $4 per pound of food.

Then use the same method for the 5-pound bag.

$14.25 ÷ 5 = $2.85

So the second charges $2.85 per pound of food.

So as we can see, the 5-pound bag is clearly better value. For each pound of food you are saving $1.15 in comparison to what you would be spending if you opted for the first bag.

Hope this helps!

RS bisects QRT, mangleQRS = (3x + 8), and mangleSRT = (5x − 4).
Leya [2.2K]

Bisect typically means half but since we aren't given angle at the start so we can just have to solve for x.

(3x + 8) = (5x - 4)

3x = 5x - 12

-2x = -12

x = 6

Best of Luck!

Moira said, "If a right triangle has one side with a length of 3 units and one side with a length
Dima020 [189]

If the two sides with length 3 and 4 are the two legs, then the missing side, i.e. the hypotenuse, is indeed 5.

But it could also be the case that 4 is the hypotenuse and 3 is one of the legs. In this case, the missing side is the other leg, so we calculate it using

\sqrt{4^2-3^2}=\sqrt{16-9}=\sqrt{7}

So, a right triangle with legs \sqrt{7} and 3 has an hypotenuse of 4.
