The slope is 3
1.) distribute the 3 to both the X and 17 so that your equation looks like this: y-5= 3X-51
2.) add 5 to both sides and you will end up with the equation: y=3X-46
3.) since this is in slope intercept form now (y=mx+b), we can conclude that m(or the slope)= 3
Answer:
0.84 is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 0 and 0 which is 0. Add 8 and 6 which is 14. And 3 + 1 + 4 which is 8. Put that all together and the answer is 0.84. Hope it helps!!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
Model:
s = slices
x = pizzas ordered
s = .8(.45x) + .12(.55x)
Now plugin 20 for x and you will get the total number of slices.
s = .8(.45x) + .12(.55x)
s = .8(.45(20)) + .12(.55(20))
s = 204 slices
Note, we could make this model different and smaller but I chose this method because it demonstrates what is going on with the word problem
For this case we can solve the problem by applying the following rule of three:
16 ounces ----> 12 $
1 ounces ------> x
Clearing x we have:
x = (1/16) * (12)
x = 0.75 $ / ounce
Answer:
The price, in dollars, per ounce of confetti is:
x = 0.75 $ / ounce
