The 5-pound bag is better value.
The easiest way to compare and find out which is a better buy is to find out how much is being charged for 1-pound of food in each bag.
$12 is divided by 3 beacuse it's a 3-pound bag and we are aiming to find what 1-pound is equal to.
$12 ÷ 3 = $4
So the first bag charges $4 per pound of food.
Then use the same method for the 5-pound bag.
$14.25 ÷ 5 = $2.85
So the second charges $2.85 per pound of food.
So as we can see, the 5-pound bag is clearly better value. For each pound of food you are saving $1.15 in comparison to what you would be spending if you opted for the first bag.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
1
the equation (x-4)^2-17=8 has two solutions because <u>it is in a quadratic form.</u>
(x-4)^2-17=8
x²-8x+16-17-8=0
x²-8x-9=0
Doing middle term factorization
x²-9x+x-9=0
x(x-9)+1(x-9)=0
(x-9)(x+1)=0
either
<u>x=9</u>
<u>x=9or</u>
<u>x=9orx=-1</u>
2.
x^2+4x+3=0:
Doing middle term factorization
x²+3x+x+3=0
x(x+3)+1(x+3)=0
(x+3)(x+1)=0
either
x=-3
or
x=-1
<u>Josh’s solution is incorrect because he missed x=-3.</u>
<u>3</u><u>.</u>
x^2-6x+7=0
By <u>using</u><u> </u><u>quadratic</u><u> </u><u>equation</u><u> </u><u>f</u><u>o</u><u>r</u><u>m</u><u>u</u><u>l</u><u>a</u><u>:</u>
Comparing above equation with ax²+bx+c=0
we get
a=1
b=-6
c=7
Now
we have
x=
x=
x=
x=
Taking positive
<u>x</u>=
taking negative
<u>x</u>=
For x = -1, 3(-1) - 5y = 9 => -3 - 5y = 9 => 5y = -3 - 9 = -12 => y = -12/5 = -2.4
for x = 0, 3(0) - 5y = 9 => -5y = 9 => y = 9/-5 = -1.8
for x = 1, 3(1) - 5y = 9 => 3 - 5y = 9 => 5y = 3 - 9 = -6 => y = -6/5 = -1.2
Maybe D? I'm not exactly sure, I'm sorry

, multiple by the reciprocal of the second fraction to get the answer.
