Answer:

A7.45x = y

Step-by-step explanation:


We can use a ratio to solve this problem.  Take the total cost of the lunches and divide by the number of lunches.

y = total cost of lunches and

x = number of lunches

74.50             y

-------------- = ------------

10                     x


Using cross products

74.5 x = 10 y

Divide each side by 10

74.5/10 x= 10y/10

7.45x = y

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Discussion

There is only one answer that works and that is A. The rest give you strange answers. Each box, no matter how many there are, costs 7.45

Since you don't know the number of boxes, call that x

The total cost is y

Therefore y = 7.45*x

The other choices

B: When you cross multiply the proportion of B, you get

7.45*y = 10x That means the total (y) is multiplied by 7.45 (making y not the total). When you divide by 10, the answer is now meaningless. B is incorrect.

C: C is saying that each box costs 74.50. That was supposed to be the total for 10 boxes. C is getting to be far too big. C is not the answer.

D: They total is y, not 74.5 * y. The answer is getting out of control (too big) if it is D. So D is incorrect.

Answer: Choice A

y = (-3/4)(x + 4) + 6

=====================================================

Let's go through the answer choices

  • Choice A is something we'll come back to
  • Choice B is false because the line does not go uphill as we move from left to right. The graphed line has a negative slope, which contradicts what choice B is saying.
  • Choice C is false for similar reasons as choice B. The slope should be negative.
  • Choice D has a negative slope, but the y intercept is wrong. The y intercept should be 3. So choice D is false as well.

We've eliminated choices B through D.

Choice A must be the answer through process of elimination.

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

Here's an alternative method:

If we started at a point like (0,3) and move to (4,0), note how the slope is -3/4

This is because we've moved down 3 units and to the right 4 units.

m = slope = rise/run = -3/4

We can also use the slope formula m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) to see this.

Then we pick on a point that is on the diagonal line. It could be any point really, but the point your teacher used for choice A is (x1,y1) = (-4,6)

So,

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 6 = (-3/4)(x - (-4))

y - 6 = (-3/4)(x + 4)

y = (-3/4)(x + 4) + 6

Solve sin x + 2 sin x cos X = for 0°
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

sin x + 2 sin x cosx = 0   equivalent to : sinx(1+2cosx) =0

sinx=0 means :  general solution is  : x= kπ....k in Z

1+2cosx=0  means : cosx= -1/2 general solution is : x= ±π/6+kπ...k in Z

Help if you know thanks
Yanka [14]

Answer:

x = -1/2  x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x( x+1.5) = -1

Distribute

2x^2 + 3x = -1

Add 1 to each side

2x^2 +3x+1 = 0

Factor

(2x+1) (x+1) =0

Using the zero product property

2x+1 = 0   x+1=0

2x = -1    x=-1

x = -1/2  x=-1
