-2.1-6x=1.5 add 2.1 to both sides
-6x=3.6 now divide both sides by -6
X= -.6
In the first problem you are given a formula (y = 3x), along with a table.
From the data in the table, find the slope of the linear equation that relates x and y in that data.
Then compare the two slopes. Which is the greater? the smaller?
It is clearly mentioned in the question that each bottle of ibuprofen has 1000 pills.
Now, 1/4 bottle of ibuprofen is used to make the prescription.
So, if one bottle of ibuprofen has 1000 pills and 1/4 1/4 bottle of ibuprofen is used to make the prescription, then Jerome obviously used
pills of ibuprofen to make the prescription.
This can be further explained as follows:
1 bottle=1000 pills
bottle=
=250 pills.
