A) To cook 1/2 cup of rice, the package tells you that you also need 1 cup of water. The the total volume of ingredients is
.. 1/2 c + 1 c = 1 1/2 c
b) According to the package the ratio of water to rice is
.. water : rice = 1 : 1/2 = 2 : 1
Then the ratio of water to total ingredients is
.. water : (water + rice) = 2 : (2 +1) = 2 : 3
Susan's ratio is incorrect. Susan is using "1" for the total of ingredients, instead of 2+1 = 3. The correct ratio is 2:3.
I assume you mean x squared in the first equation
Because both are equal to y, they are equal to each other so x + 5 = x^2 +3
If we then move everything over to one side, we get x^2 - x - 2 = 0
Then factorise it to (x-2)(x+1) = 0
And solve both parts separately
x + 1 = 0
x = -1
x-2 = 0
x = 2
Sub both values into the simplest equation in this case y=x+5
to get y = 4 and y = 7
Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Looks like C ( if the polynomial in the question contains x6 NOT x).
I believe the answer to your question is b.
