The formula is (2)(n-4) = n-1/4
Mult both sides by 4:
8n - 32 = 4n -1, or 4n = 31, or n=31/4.
If this is not what you expected, please ensure that you have copied down the original problem correctly. What do you mean by "1/4 less?"
Let's try (2)(n-4) = 1n-(1/4)n = (3/4)n. Then,
2n-8 = (3/4)n, or (5/4)n = 8. Mult. both sides by (4/5), we get:
n = (5/4)(8) = 10. Is that what you were hoping for?
Answer:
The answer would be C
Step-by-step explanation:
He started at 250 lbs. He is losing 3 lbs every week.
So it would be y=250(beginning weight)-3x(how much he's losing every week)
Hope this helped :)
The system of inequalities is: 
and 
<em><u>Explanation</u></em>
Let 
be the amount of live bait and 
be the amount of natural bait.
As John would like to get at least 3 pounds of live bait, so the first inequality will be:
Given that, price of live bait is $12 per pound and natural bait is $7 per pound. Also, he only has a budget of $63. That means, he can spend maximum $63
So, the cost for buying pound of live bait 
and the cost for buying pound of natural bait 
Thus, the second inequality will be:
