1. ratio = 2 c of dressing / 4 lb of vegetables

Use two variables: d for the number of c of dressing and v for the number of pounds of vegetables.

Then d / v = 2/4 = 1/2 => d = v/2

Now you can make a table

v d

2 1

4 2

6 3

8 2

And you can draw a line for the points (2,1); (4,2); (6,3), (8,4) ... the slope of the graph is the ratio = 1/2

b) I already did it above as part ot the explanation: d/v = 1/2

Nick is solving the equation 3x^2=20-7x with the quadratic formula

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

C. a = 3

b = 7

c = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -b+/- (sq) b^2 - 4ac.

Well the way to plug the numbers in is by using this equation: Ax^2 + Bx + C = 0

S if you use your equation : 3x^2 = 20 - 7x

First you have to move everything to one side.

So it'll look like this:

3x^2 = 20 - 7x

-20 -20

3x^2 - 20 = -7x

+7x +7x

3x^2 - 20 + 7x = 0

don't forget that... Ax^2 +Bx+ C= 0

3 = A

7 = B

-20 = C
