The empty jug weighs 0.75 lb
With the 3c, the total weighs 2.25 lb. That means:
3c + empty jug = 3c + 0.75 = 2.25
3c = 2.25 - 0.75
3c = 1.5
and 1c = 0.5 (so c is a constant -or the slope-)
Then the equation is:
y = 0.5x + 0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
For the quadratic equation to have 1 repeated real solution, the discriminant b² - 4ac must be zero.
=> (-z)² - 4(z - 5)(5) = 0
=> z² - 20(z - 5) = 0
=> z² - 20z + 100 = 0
=> (z - 10)² = 0
Therefore z = 10.
