Nima uses 2/3 cup peanuts, 1/2 cup cashews, 3/4 cups pecans, and some raisinsin a recipe that makes 2 1/4 cups of trail mix. How

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

8/27 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Nima uses 2/3 cups of peanuts to make a recipe of 2 1/4 = 9/4 cups of trail mix. If we want to find how many cups of peanuts are there per cup of trail mix, we can do a rule of three:

If 9/4 cups of trail mix need 2/3 cups of peanuts, 1 cup of trail mix need X cups of peanuts:

9/4 cups of trail mix -> 2/3 cups of peanuts

1 cup of trail mix -> X cups of peanuts

9/4 / 1 = 2/3 / X

9/4 = 2/(3*X)

3*X*9 = 4*2

27*X = 8

X = 8/27 cups

Arnoldo needs to write this system in slope-intercept form. Which shows how he could do that?

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

$y = \frac{3}{2}x - 3$

$y = \frac{1}{8} x - \frac{7}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is

3x-2y=6

0.4(20y+15)=x

The slope intercept form is y=mx+c.

For the first equation, 3x-2y=6, we add -3x to both side -2y=-3x+6

$y = \frac{3}{2}x - 3$

For 0.4(20y+15)=x, we expand to get:

$8y + 7 = x$

$8y= x - 7$

Divide through by 8

$y = \frac{1}{8}x - \frac{7}{8}$

Therefore the system in slope-intercept form is:

$y = \frac{3}{2}x - 3$

$y = \frac{1}{8}x - \frac{7}{8}$

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (8,-2) and has an undefined slope?

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

A line with an undefined slope is a vertical line parallel to the y- axis, with equation

x = c ( c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through )

The line passes through (8, - 2) with x- coordinate 8 , thus

x = 8 ← equation of line
