I don't know if it could be the area of a square but x has to be 8.34. (ROUNDED)
The domain is the set of all allowed x values. In this case, we consider the whole numbers between 0 and 10. So we have x = 0, x = 1, x = 2, ... all the way up to x = 10.
To find the y values, you replace each x with the numbers mentioned and simplify.
For instance, if x = 2, then,
f(x) = 3.50x
f(2) = 3.50*2
f(2) = 7
This tells us that x = 2 packages cost y = 7 dollars.
Answer:
x = 32/7, or 4 4/7 meals
Step-by-step explanation:
Write and solve an equation of ratios, as follows:
7/8 lb 4 meals
------------ -------------
1 lb x
x will be the number of meals necessary for the dog to eat 1 lb of food.
Cross-multiplying, (7/8)x = 4.
Multiplying both sides by 8/7 is an easy way to isolate x:
(8/7)(7/8)x = (8/7)(4)
or
x = 32/7, or 4 4/7 meals
