Answer:
8 pizzas can serve 16 guests.
Step-by-step explanation:
So the caterer usually prepares 4 pizzas, but now she prepared twice as many, which means that now there are 4 • 2 = 8 pizzas.
Also, there is an estimation that each guest will eat 1/2 of a pizza.
In order to answer how many guests will 8 pizzas serve, we need to write an equation (pizzas per guest multiplied with number of guests equals the number of pizzas). Let's mark the unknown number of guests with x:
1/2 • x = 8
x = 8 / 1/2
x = 16
So, if each guest eats 1/2 of a pizza, then 8 pizzas will be enough to serve 16 guests.
its y-axis for the first answer and the other one its, y=-x
15 624/1000 is it supposed to be sipplified?
First square both sides to get:
c + 22 = (c + 2)^2
or
c + 22 = c^2 + 4c + 4
Move the terms on the left side to the right side:
c^2 + 3c - 18 = 0
Factor to get:
(c + 6) * (c - 3) = 0.
The solutions are c = -6 and c = 3.
Check to see if these answers work by plugging them into the original equation:
c = -6:
sqrt (-6 + 22) ?= -6 + 2
But, -6 + 2 is a negative number, and you can't get a negative from a square root. So, -6 is extraneous.
c = 3:
sqrt (3 + 22) ?= 3 + 2
5 = 5. So, 3 works.
The answer is: B
Answer: For Last Question 4.50
Step-by-step explanation:It depends on the price per pound. Let's say the price per pound is 50 cents (or 0.50). (This is an example, the answer I'm giving will most likely NOT be correct, due to the nature of your question - sorry!) To calculate the price of Derek's package, you would multiply 7 (the weight of the package) by 0.50 (the price per pound), which totals to 3.50 Next, to calculate the price for Keisha's package, you'd do the same thing, but instead of multiplying 7 by the price per pound, you would multiply 10 by the price per pound, or 0.50. This multiplies out to 5 dollars. Next you'd subtract Derek's price from Keisha's, which is 5 - 3.50 or 1.50. If it is asking for a percentage, it would be about 150%.
