Answer:

12 p - 8 p,  4p ( 3 - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

p = equal the number of ounces of pasta salad in one container

then 12 × p = 12 p in 12 containers

the students finished the pasta salad in 8 containers which equals = 8 p

the number of ounces of pasta left = 12 p - 8 p  

b) using the distributive property for example a ( b + c) = ( a×b) + (a ×c)

12 p - 8 p = 4p ( 3 - 2)

Write an equation of the line passing through each of the following pairs of points. c (4, 0), (−2, 8)'
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you must find the slope of the line using the formula (y2-y1/x2-x1). For your problem that would be (8-0/-2-4)= -4/3.

Then, you would plug in the slope and the y-intercept into the slope-intercept formula (y=mx+b), where m is the slope and b is the y intercept (4).

Your answer would be y=-4/3x+4
