Answer:
a) The unit rate for calories per cup is 100 calories per cup
b) 200 calories in 2 cups of cereal.
Step-by-step explanation:
A box of cereal states that there are 75 calories in a three fourths 3/4-cup serving.
a) What is the unit rate for calories per cup?
This is calculated as:
3/4 cup = 75 calories
1 cup = x
Cross Multiply
3/4x = 75 calories × 1
x = 75 calories /3/4 cup
x = 75 ÷ 3/4
x = 75 × 4/3
x = 100 calories per cup
The unit rate for calories per cup is 100 calories per cup
b) How many calories are there in 2 cups of the cereal?
From the above question
3/4 cup = 75 calories
2 cups = x
Cross Multiply
3/4x = 75× 2
x = 150 ÷ 3/4
x = 150 × 4/3
x = 200 calories
There are 200 calories in 2 cups of cereal.

Answer:
D) no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
1/ (x-2) + 1/(x+2) = 4/(x^2-4)
x cannot equal 2 or -2 since that would make our fractions equal 1/0 or be undefined
Factor the term on the right
1/ (x-2) + 1/(x+2) = 4/(x-2)(x+2)
Multiply both sides by (x-2) (x+2)
(x-2) (x+2) (1/ (x-2) + 1/(x+2)) = 4/(x-2)(x+2)*(x-2) (x+2)
Distribute
x+2 + (x-2) = 4
Combine like terms
2x = 4
Divide by 2
2x/2 = 4/2
x =2
But this is not a possible solution since that is not in the domain
