Answer: The boys made up 6b of the original class.
Step-by-step explanation:
25% of 150000 is 0.25 * 150000 = 37500
So, they now cost 150000 + 37500 = 187500 and that is the answer you are looking for
Total meat in the recipe he wants to use = 7 pounds
Beef : pork = 3 : 1
Total pork that he will use = x 7 pounds
= 7/4 pounds
hope this helps
Answer:
a. (4, –7) and (0, –3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Easiest is to check the answer choices.
The constant in the first equation is -3, so we know that (0, -3) is a point on that graph. The sum of those two values is -3, so that is also a point on the graph of the line.
The only two answer choices with (0, -3) as one point are the first and last. The other point in the last answer choice is not on the line (4+7 ≠ -3).
So, the only viable answer choice is the first one.
_____
To solve the system algebraically, you can substitute the expression for y in the first equation into the second equation:
x + (-x^2 +3x -3) = -3
-x^2 +4x = 0 . . . . . . . . . add 3
-x(x -4) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . factor
Solutions are x = 0, x = 4. (These are the values of x that make the factors 0.)
__
Evaluating the second equation to find y is easiest:
y = -3 -x
For x=0, y = -3.
For x=4, y = -7.
The solutions are (4, -7) and (0, -3).
