Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the bag of rice is 4.5 pounds, and there are 16 ounces per pound, multiply 16 x 4 = 64. Now what is half of 16? 8! So divide 5/8 = 0.625.
So in the end, yes the bag of rice will have enough rice. Here's my math:
16 x 4 = 64
5 / 8 = 0.625
So, you will have 64.625 ounces of rice which is plenty for your recipe!

I really hope this helps you!
Let's do both. For the first one, we can add 1 to both sides using the property of equality, and get 4x < -12. Then, we divide by 4, getting us x<-3. For the second, we subtract 3 from both sides to get -2x < 4. Then, we divide by -2 on both sides, but when we divide by a negative we have to switch the sign. So, we get x > -2. Hope this helps.
Answer:
<u>13 - 2x </u>
Step-by-step explanation:
(x +2)² + (x - 3)² - 2x²
<em>Expand.</em>
(x + 2)(x + 2) + (x - 3)(x - 3) - 2x²
x² + 2x + 2x + 4 + x² - 3x - 3x + 9 - 2x²
<em>Bring all the like terms together then simply.</em>
x² + x² - 2x² + 2x + 2x - 3x - 3x + 4 + 9
2x² - 2x² + 4x - 6x + 13
= <u>13 - 2x</u> (or <u>-2x + 13</u> )
