Since a pound of sugar increases proportionally to the total cost of sugar bought, then the function can be written as:
c(p) = 0.42p
Where: c(p) = total cost of sugar bought
p = pounds of sugar
c(p) is a function of p, because c(p) depends on p.
Answer:
The length is 6 feet and the width is 4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of the yard
The width can be represented by x - 2, since it is 2 less than the length.
Use the perimeter formula, P = 2l + 2w, where l is the length and w is width
Plug in the expressions and perimeter:
20 = 2x + 2(x - 2)
Solve for x:
20 = 2x + 2x - 4
20 = 4x - 4
24 = 4x
6 = x
So, the length is 6. Plug this into x - 2 to find the width
x - 2
6 - 2
= 4
So, the length is 6 feet and the width is 4 feet
Rewrite the equations;
m+4n=8
m-n=-2
Eliminating m gives;
5n=10
n=2
Replacing for n in the first equation;
m+4(2)=8
m=8
Answer;
(0, 2)
Answer:
one plus one is two the answer is 2
