Answer:

25 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that initially, 1 pound of whole chicken costs x.

So, initially 20 pounds of whole chicken costs 20x.

Now, the price is reduced by 20%.

That means that 1 pound of whole chicken now costs  x[1-\frac{20}{100} ]=0.8x

Therefore, with a 0.8x amount of money, we can now purchase 1 pound of the whole chicken.  

Hence, with a 20x amount of money, we can now purchase \frac{20x}{0.8x}=25 pounds of the whole chicken.

During their last game, the Miami Dolphins scored ͸ times for a total score of ͵Ͳ points. They scored ͹ points for each touchdow
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The Miami Dolphins had 3 touchdowns and 3 field goals.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that During their last game, the Miami Dolphins scored 6 times, for a total score of 30 points. They scored 7 points for each touchdown and 3 points for each field goal.

We need to write and solve the system of equations to find the total touchdowns and field goals scored.

Let x represents the number of touchdowns.

Let y be the number of field goals.

It is given that the Miami Dolphins scored 6 times

x+y=6

x=6-y....(1)

They scored 7 points for each touchdown and 3 points for each field goal.

The total score is 30 points:

7x+3y=30 ...(2)

Put the value of x from equation (1) into equation (2).

7( 6-y)+3y=30

42-7y+3y=30

-4y=30-42

-4y=-12

y=3

Put y = 3 in equation 1.

x=6-3

x=3

Hence, the Miami Dolphins had 3 touchdowns and 3 field goals.

What is solution of 5+3(y-4)=5(y+2)-y
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

y = -17

Step-by-step explanation:

5 + 3(y - 4) = 5(y + 2) - y        Distribute

5 + 3y -12 = 5y + 10 - y          Combine like terms

-7 + 3y = 4y + 10

+7                 +17                    Add 17 to both sides

3y = 4y + 17

-4y   -4y                                 Subtract 4y from both sides

-y = 17                                     Divide both sides by -1

y = -17

F(x)=5x^4 helllllpppppp
Marina CMI [18]

we can use properties of functions to find this out


for f(x)=ax^b


if b is even, then the ends of the function go in the same directions (both up or both down)

if b is odd, then the ends of the function go in different directions (one up and one down)


if a is positive and b is even, then both ends point up

if a is positve and b is odd, then it goes from bottom left to top right

if a is negative and b is even, then both ends point down

if a is negative and b is odd, then it goes from top left to bottom right


given f(x)=5x^4

a=5>0

b=4 which is even

so it has both ends pointing up

bottom right graph is yo answer
