Alright, we can turn the word problem at the beginning into an equation.
Let's represent oregano with "o" and peppercorns as "p".
o=p+17
Also, we know that the two added together are 253 pounds.
o+p=253
Since we know that o=p+17, let's substitute it into the second equation.
(p+17)+p=253
2p+17=253
-17       -17
2p=236
p=118
So, we have 118 pounds of peppercorns. (Although it's irrelevant to the second half of the equation, we also know we have 135 pounds of oregano)
Now, let's convert pounds to ounces.
1 pound = 16 ounces.
So, multiply 118 by 16....
118*16=1888
So, you can make 1888 one-ounce bags of peppercorns.

Oregano=o
peppercorns=p
o+p=253
o=p+17
p+17+p=253
2p+17=253
2p=236
p=118
there are 16 ounces in a pound
118*16=1888
Hope this helps :)

Show that in a group of five people (where any two people are either friends or enemies), there are not necessarily three mutual
sveta [45]

Answer:

Lets call the people A,B,C,D and E. We need to find an example where there are not 3 mutual friends and not three mutual enemies.

Lets start by assuming that A has 2 friends, B and C, and 2 enemies, D and E.

Since we want A,B and C not to be mutually friends, then B and C neccesarily have to be enemies.

Now, since B and C are enemies, they cant be enemies at the same time with D, and they also cant be enemies at the same time with E. Therefore one of them has to be friends with D and one has to be friends with E.

Also, since D and E are enemies with A, they neccesarily need to be friends.

From the fact that D and E are friends, we coclude that they cant have a friend in common, as a consequence, B has to be friends with one of D and E and C has to be friend with the other. We can assume that B is friend with D and C is friend with E. If we use that, we have the following friendship configuration

---------------------

Friends of A: B, C

Enemies of A: D,E

-------------------------

Friends of B: A,D

Enemies of B: C, E

------------------------

Friends of C: A,E

Enemies of C: B,D

------------------------

Friends of D: B,E

Enemies of D: A,C

----------------------------

Friends of E: C,D

Enemies of E:  A,B

--------------------------

As you can check, there is not three mutual friends nor three mutual enemies.

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. you mean which graph represents the equation y = (1/3)x + 2?

step 2. please provide the graphs - they are missing.

step 3. the equation has a slope of 1/3 which means it goes up one and three to the right.

step 4. the y intercept is 2 so it goes through the point (0, 2).
