Answer: OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing options are:

A. (33 - x) = \frac{1}{3} * 135.2\\\\B. (\frac{1}{3} *33) - \frac{1}{3} x = \frac{1}{3} * 135.2\\\\C.(\frac{1}{3}  * 33) - \frac{1}{3} x = 135.2\\\\D. (\frac{1}{3}  * 33) + \frac{1}{3} x = 135.2

In order to solve this exercise you need to remember the following:

1. The Distributive property states that:

a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\a(b-c)=ab-ac

2. The multiplication of signs:

(+)(+)=+\\(-)(-)=+\\(-)(+)=-\\(+)(-)=-

In this case the exercise gives you the following equation:

\frac{1}{3}(33-x)=135.2

Since you need to solve for the variable "x" in order to  find its value, the first  step you must apply in the in the procedure is to eliminate the parentheses applying the Distributive property.

Then, you must multiply everyting inside the parentheses by \frac{1}{3}.

Therefore,based on the explanation, you know that the correct use of the Distributive property is:

\frac{1}{3}*33-\frac{1}{3}x=135.2

What is the y intercept?​
timama [110]

Hey there!

We can see that the y-intercept is 6, or (0, 6), because when x is equal to 0, that is the y-intercept.

Hope it helps and have a great day! Let me know if you need more help!

Reza is ordering pizza and chicken fingers for a birthday party. Each pizza costs $15 and each dozen of chicken fingers costs $1
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

x+y\geq5

Step-by-step explanation:

Pizza: $15

Chicken Fingers (Dozen): $10

5x= $75

The answer should be 15x + 10y ≤  120

Since the pizza is x and chicken fingers is y then this should be the answer.
