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!

Which graph represents the function f(x) = |x + 3|?
Sophie [7]
Answer: (B)
Explanation: If you are unsure about where to start, you could always plot some numbers down until you see a general pattern.

But a more intuitive way is to determine what happens during each transformation.
A regular y = |x| will have its vertex at the origin, because nothing is changed for a y = |x| graph. We have a ray that is reflected at the origin about the y-axis.

Now, let's explore the different transformations for an absolute value graph by taking a y = |x + h| graph.
What happens to the graph?
Well, we have shifted the graph -h units, just like a normal trigonometric, linear, or even parabolic graph. That is, we have shifted the graph h units to its negative side (to the left).

What about the y = |x| + h graph?
Well, like a parabola, we shift it h units upwards, and if h is negative, we shift it h units downwards.

So, if you understand what each transformation does, then you would be able to identify the changes in the shape's location.

Which equation is correctly rewritten to solve for x?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Te given equation is,

-qx + p = r

Toe find the value of x,

By subtracting  p from both the sides of the equation.

-qx + p - q = r - q

-qx = r - q

By dividing the whole equation by (-q),

\frac{-qx}{(-q)}=\frac{r-p}{-q}

x = -\frac{r-p}{q}

x = \frac{p-r}{q}

Therefore, Option (A) will be the answer.

If you have driven 225 miles in 3 hours, then how long would it take you to drive 300 miles?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:How many miles can a car be driven in 3 hours at 50 miles per hour? Under normal circumstances and the generally assumed conditions, the answer is of course (3 hours) * (50 miles / hour) = 150 miles.

3.5 hours

It will take you 3.5 hours to go 280 miles at 80 miles an hour.It travels at constant speed for the remaining time. Let x be the time traveled at the unknown constant speed. The total itme for the trip was 6 hours so: 6 = time traveled at 50 mph + time traveled at 60 mph + time traveled at x mph.

Step-by-step explanation:So you drive 25 miles / hour. then 25 miles/ 1 hour = 225 miles / nb of hours.2 minutes

However, traveling at 30 MPH for 1 mile (1 lap) takes 2 minutes, which means that your average will never be 60MPH.approximately 0.6818 miles per hour.
