15-3=12, so Monique spent $12 on Squid. So now set the problem up as 6x=12 where x is 1 pound of squid, 6 is how many pounds she bought, and 12 is the price for 6 pounds. Solve...
6x=12 Divide by six on each side to get x=2, so...
The cost of one pound of squid is $2.
Hope this helps!
P.S. the full equation is 6x=15-3, but I wrote it as 12 because we already subtracted the 3 at the beginning.

I believe it's not a function because the input (x) 4 has two outputs(y), 2 and 8.

In a lab, a substance was cooked by 42 C over a period of 7 hours at a constant rate. What was the change in temperature each ho

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Given that we have the change in temperature over 7 hours and we are looking for the change over 1 hour, we can divide the total change in temperature by 7. Thus, the change in temperature would be $\frac{42}{7} C^{\circ}$ .

Additionally, this can be solved by equations:

$\dfrac{42 \,\textrm{C}^{\circ}}{7 \,\textrm{hours}} = \dfrac{x \,\textrm{C}^{\circ}}{1 \,\textrm{hour}}$

$1 \,\textrm{hour} \cdot \dfrac{42 \,\textrm{C}^{\circ}}{7 \,\textrm{hours}} = x \,\textrm{C}^{\circ}$

$\dfrac{42}{7} \,\textrm{C}^{\circ} = x \,\textrm{C}^{\circ}$

$\dfrac{42}{7} = x$

By using two different methods, we can determine that the change each hour was equal to 42/7 C° per hour.

In a basketball game 96 points were scored. The winners scored twice as many as the losers. How many points did each team score?

RSB [31]

set up an equation for this. x will be the score of the losing team. x+2x=96. Then solve for x. 3x=96. x=96/3 x=32. So the losing team got 32 points and the winning team got 64
