Answer:

Unit cost: $2.50 per potato

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion:

<h2><u>5 potatoes</u> = <u>x potatoes</u></h2><h2>2 dollars 1 dollar</h2><h2 />

cross multiply:

2x = 5

divide by 2 on both sides

x= 5/2 or 2.5

Please help!<br> 5x^2 - 3x - 2 = 0<br> Solve using the zero-factor property.

Alex

Answer:

x = -2/5

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x² - 3x - 2 = 0

(5x + 2)(x - 1) = 0

⇒ 5x + 2 = 0

⇒ 5x = -2

⇒ x = -2/5

⇒ x - 1 = 0

⇒ x = 1

Pie

We determine that the correct choice is: B. The length of $A'B'$ must be equal to the length of $AB$ .

Vectorially speaking, any point is translated by means of the following formula:

$P'(x,y) = P(x,y) + T(x,y)$ (1)

Where:

$P(x,y)$ - Original point.
$P'(x,y)$ - Translated point.
$T(x,y)$ - Translation vector.

Since the entire quadrilateral is translated the same distance, then the length of $A'B'$ is equal to the length of $AB$ . Hence, the correct choice is B.

Can anyone help me solve question B and explain please please please please please please

Answer:

$m>2$

()***********************

<--------------------(-2)-------(0)------(2)--------------------------->

Step-by-step explanation:

$3m>m+4$

Subtract $m$ on both sides:

$3m-m>m+4-m$

Simplify both sides:

$2m>4$

Divide both sides by 2:

$m>2$

So this means we want values of $m$ greater than 2, not including 2.
