A proportional relationship between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y) is graphed, and the ordered
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer: A. 1 pound of cabbage will cost 40 cents.  B. (10,4) means that 10 pounds of cabbage will cost 4 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is proportional that means the y value divided by the x value will give you a constant slope.

So using that use the coordinates (5,2)  to find the cost of 1 pound of cabbage.

2/5 = 0.4

so you could write the equation y= 0.4x  where x is the number of pound.

Part A:     y= 0.4(1)    

                y= $0.40  which means one pound of cabbage will cost 40 cents.

Part B.    (10,4) in this case it will means that for 10 pounds of cabbage it will cost $4.

   Plot it into the equation and find out

 in the coordinates (10,4) 4 is the y and 10 is the x

   4= 0.4(10)

  4= 4  

Which means it true that 10 pounds of cabbage will cost 4 dollars.

I am not sure how sigma notation works, can somebody explain how to solve this? It isn't the second choice.
Masja [62]

Answer:

first answer is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, we want to write 2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 20

for n = 1, 2n = 2*1 =2

for n = 2, 2n = 2*2=4

for n = 3, 2n=2*3=6

etc

so

\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{10} {2n} = 2*1 + 2*2 +2*3+2*4+...+2*10=2+4+6+8+...+20

thanks

A tire dealer sells 2 tires for as much as he paid for 3 tires. he paid $240 for a dozen tires. What is the total profit on 12 t
tester [92]
First, find how much he paid by tire.
To do so, divide what he paid by how many tires he bought like this :
240$ / 12 = 20$ per tire

Then, calculate how much he sells each tire.
To do so, start by calculating how much he paid for 3 tires:
20$ x 3 = 60$

This is the price he sells 2 tires for, therefore :
60$ / 2 = 30$
he sells his tires 30$ each.

Finally, you have to calculate the profit he made by selling 12.
We already know how much it cost, so you need to find how much money he gets selling them :
12 tires x 30$ = 360$

To find the profit, take off the amount he paid from the amount he made :
360$ - 240$ = 120$

There you go!

Im confused <br><br><br> khan academy 8th grade
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

hi! so the question is asking what h is when you input -18 for x, right?

inputing in this question means to substitute, meaning that in this equation, -18 will take the place of x!

  • let's see what the equation looks like now
  • h = 17 + \frac{-18}{6}
  • easy as that!

now let's do the math :)

  • because of PEMDAS, remember to do the fraction (dividing) first!
  • h = 17 + (-3)

we can change that to --> h = 17 - 3

h = 14

let me know if you're still confused!
