Answer:

C. 4x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

You and three friends= you + 3 friends=4 people

Pizza= 12 pieces

Each person eats equal pieces of pizza

x= number of pieces each person ate

Equation

4x=12

Divide both sides by 4

x=12/4

=3

x=3

Therefore, each person ate 3 pieces of pizza each

Check:

4x=12

4(3)=12

12=12

Insert three arithmetic means between 4 and 10.
Bumek [7]

Answer:

5.5, 7, 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the mean of 4 and 10, that is

\frac{4+10}{2} = \frac{14}{2} = 7

Now repeat with 4 and 7 and 7 and 10

\frac{4+7}{2} = \frac{11}{2} = 5.5

\frac{7+10}{2} = \frac{17}{2} = 8.5

Hence

4, 5.5, 7, 8.5, 10 ← is an arithmetic sequence with d = 1.5

Could you build a triangle from each of the 3 lengths?
lianna [129]
To form a triangle the sum of the two shorter sides must be greater than the longest side.
5, 5, 3 forms a triangle (isosceles)
8, 8, 8 forms a triangle (equilateral)
5, 6, 10 forms a triangle (obtuse angled scalene)

7, 8, 15 technically forms a triangle with an area of zero units. The vertices would be co-linear.
This will often be ignored as it has little practical use.

Fun fact. If you break a stick into 3 random lengths there is only a 25% chance they will be able to form a triangle.

14.4 A Book and a Cake A book costs $45. Sales tax on the book is 7%. Write two different expressions that represent the final c
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: 1. $45*1.07 | $45(1.07) 2. (0.85)*32 represent the final price of the cake in dollars because (0.85) is the 15% off in decimals.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 if you multiply 45 by 1.07 it will be 48.15 and that's the final cost of the book, same with $45(1.07) is just another way to represent the multiplication.

2 As I said the 0.85 represent the 15% off, and when you multiply it will be less.
