solve for "k", to find k or the "constant of variation"
then plug k's value back to
now.... what is "p" when q = 5? well, just set "q" to 5 on the right-hand-side, and simplify, to see what "p" is
Let
x--------------> the number of slices eating by Consuela and her <span>three friends
we know that
[total slices]=8*2=16 slices
</span><span>[slices of pizza for her older brother]=2
x=16-2=14 slides
</span><span>Consuela and her friends share the rest of the pizza, each eating the same number of slices---------> 14/4= 3.5 slides of pizza each (</span><span>this part is not necessary, but it is shown in a didactic way)
</span><span>
the question is
</span><span>What fraction of the 2 pizzas is left over?
</span>[slices of pizza for her older brother]/[total slices]=2/16=1/8
<span>
the answer is (1/8)
</span>
They are opposites. since |-3| has the lines around it, this represents absolute value, which is not positive or negative but how far away the value is from 0. the plain -3 remains the same. |-3| is 3, because it is 3 units away from 0 on the number line.
The answer for the expression is C.
Let the width be : x
length : (2x - 6)
(2x - 6) (x) = 2x square - 6x
2x square - 6x = 140
2x square - 6x - 140 = 0
if you use the cross method or calculator you’ll get :
( x - 10 ) ( x + 7) = 0
x = 10 or x = -7 ( reject because negative )
so we use x = 10.
width = 10
length = 2(10) - 6 = 14
