You solve this by plugging one equation into the other. Usually you have to rewrite one equation to make this work. In this case I choose to rewrite y-4x=0 as y=4x.
After plugging it into the second, you get:
3x + 6*4x = 9 => 27x = 9 => x=1/3
Putting this solution back into y=4x gives us y=4/3
Divide number of pounds eaten by the portion of the bag eaten.
= 4 1/2 pounds ÷ 3/4
= 4.5 ÷ 0.75
= 6 pound bag
CHECK:
multiply total pounds of bag by portion eaten
= 6 pound bag * 3/4
= 4 1/2 pounds eaten
ANSWER: The bag was 6 pounds of dog food.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
-22%
Step-by-step explanation:
The percent decrease can be found by subtracting the original amount from the sale price. Divide the result by the original price and multiplying the decimal by 100 for the percent.
670.80 - 860 = -189.2
-189.2/860 = -0.22
-0.22*100 = -22%
Answer: a=4, b=-8, c=-3
Step-by-step explanation: This equation isn't in standard form. To get it there, subtract -3 from both sides. This gets you an equation of 4x^2-8x-3.
The standard form is ax^2+bx+c.
A is the number before x^2 (4). B is the number before x, and since it's subtracted it's negative (-8). C is the last number, and since it's subtracted it's negative (-3).
The answer should be 6z + 54 but I’m not completely positive.
