Answer:
a) 
b) 
Dividing both sides by 0.448 we got:

We can appy the exponent
in both sides of the equation and we got:

Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we know the following function:

The notation is: x is the weight of the crab in grams, and the output f(x) is the weight of the claws in grams.
Part a
For this case we just need to replace x = 2 gram in the function and we got:

Part b
For this case we know tha value for
and we want to find the value of x who satisfy this condition:

Dividing both sides by 0.448 we got:

We can appy the exponent
in both sides of the equation and we got:

9514 1404 393
Answer:
y = 1/4x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The given line has a "rise" of -8 for a "run" of 2, so a slope of ...
m = rise/run = -8/2 = -4
The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite of the reciprocal of this slope. Its slope will be ...
-1/m = -1/(-4) = 1/4
The equation you're looking for will have an x-coefficient of 1/4. The suitable choice is ...
y = 1/4x + 5 . . . . the third choice
The solution for equation is x = -6
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given equation is:</u></em>

We have to solve the equation
According to Bodmas rule, if an expression contains brackets ((), {}, []) we have to first solve or simplify the bracket followed by of (powers and roots etc.), then division, multiplication, addition and subtraction from left to right
Therefore, solve for brackets in given equation

Solve for terms in left hand side of equation

Move the variables to one side and constants to other side

Thus the solution for equation is x = -6
<span>I think you know by now that I strongly encourage everyone to shoot a proper round and whatever the score is, to submit it to our Records Officer, Giles Conn. Think of it as an annual competition (a) to wear him out, and (b) to see if we can altogether, beat last year's tally. Also, for the outdoor season rounds, you can have a go at achieving the St Wilfred trophy. I've won it 3 years running (last year jointly with Terry Skinner), but they wouldn't let me keep it this time, sadly.</span>
