Replace x in the equations and see which one gets the matching y :
-5(0) = 0 +1 = 1
-5(1) = -5 + 1 = -4
-5(-1) = 5 +6 = 6
The first equation works.
Answer:
The patient would receive 1.05mg of the drug weekly.
Step-by-step explanation:
First step: How many mcg of the drug would the patient receive daily?
The problem states that he takes three doses of 50-mcg a day. So
1 dose - 50mcg
3 doses - x mcg
x = 50*3
x = 150 mcg.
He takes 150mcg of the drug a day.
Second step: How many mcg of the drug would the patient receive weekly?
A week has 7 days. He takes 150mcg of the drug a day. So:
1 day - 150mcg
7 days - x mcg
x = 150*7
x = 1050mcg
He takes 1050mcg of the drug a week.
Final step: Conversion of 1050 mcg to mg
Each mg has 1000 mcg. How many mg are there in 1050 mcg? So
1mg - 1000 mcg
xmg - 1050mcg
1000x = 1050

x = 1.05mg
The patient would receive 1.05mg of the drug weekly.
First change them all into either fractions or decimals. Decimals are probably easier though. 1/5 = 0.2; 12/25 = 0.48; 4/5 = 0.8
Order: 0.2, 0.35, 0.48, 0.5, 0.8
Then you change the decimals that you converted back into the fraction form
Answer: 1/5, 0.35, 12/25, 0.5, 4/5
It will be 14 we calculated
