First I find the individual widget weight
81 - 73 = 2x
8 = 2x
x = 4
Then I find how many widgets were left
73 - 1 = 4y
72 = 4y
18 = y
Y is the amount of widgets left, therefore the amount left is 18
To find the annual rate of chnge, we have to use the following formula

P(2010) represents the population in the year 2010 and P(2000) represents the population in the year 2000 .
Substituting the values, we will get

Answer:
The scale reading that the chef need to see for this spice when preparing the specialty for 43 people is 0.86.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the answer, you need to multiply the amount that the chef uses per serving for the number of servings. The statement indicates that the chef uses one- fiftieth of an ounce of a spice per serving and this is represented as 1/50 and you have to multiply this for 43 that is the number of people.
You can find 1/50 as a decimal dividing 1 by 50:
1/50=0.02
Now, you can multiply this value for 43:
0.02=43=0.86
According to this, the answer is that the scale reading that the chef need to see for this spice when preparing the specialty for 43 people is 0.86.
Sorry for not giving you the calculation here -
5/12 and 2/9 have denominators divisible by only 3 right? Well The common denominator that can then change is 3 because that's the only number they have in common (except 1)
<span>x^2 - 4x - 12 = 0
factors
(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0
</span>Set (x - 6) and (x + 2)<span> equal to </span><span>0</span><span> and solve for </span><span>xx</span>.<span>
x - 6 = 0; x = 6
x + 2 = 0; x = -2
answer
x = -2 or x = 6</span>
