Answer:

x = 5.142

Step-by-step explanation:

2=-74+14x

if you want to make x the subject (work out its value), you need to single out x

1) the first thing that we can do is get rid of the -74

2) do this by adding it on to both sides of the equation. This is called the inverse

2+-74=-72 -74+14x=14x

-72=14x

3) to get x on its own, we now need to get rid of the 14

REMEMBER: 14x = 14×x

4) We do the inverse by dividing both sides by 14

-72÷14=-5.142...

its surprising that its not an integer

5.142=x

x=5.142

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS CORRECT

A) The variable on the horizontal axis of the graph (the independent variable) is "pounds of rice". That is what the first number in the ordered pair (6, 18) represents.

The variable on the vertical axis of the graph (the dependent variable) is "total cost in dollars". That is what the second number in the ordered pair represents.

(6, 18) represents that the total cost of purchasing 6 lbs of rice is $18.

B) The unit price is found at the point where the independent variable has the value 1. That would be at the point (1, 3), which indicates the unit price is $3 per pound.

C) You would have to buy 4 lbs of rice for the total cost to be $12. There are at least two ways to find the answer.
