Answer:

43.55 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

30% of 33.5 would be 10.05, since the new box is 30% more, you add the 10.05 to the original 33.5

A student solves the following equation for all possible values of x:

bekas [8.4K]

The correct answer is: 
C) his solution for x is correct, but in order for 6 to be an extraneous solution, one denominator has to result in 0 when 6 is substituted for x.

Explanation: 
To solve this rational equation, we cross multiply: 
8*(x-4)=2*(x+2).

Using the distributive property, we have 
8*x-8*4=2*x+2*2;
8x-32=2x+4.

Subtract 2x from each side: 
8x-32-2x=2x+4-2x;
6x-32=4.

Add 32 to each side: 
6x-32+32=4+32;
6x=36.

Divide both sides by 6:
 $\frac{6x}{6}$ = $\frac{36}{6}$ ;
x=6.

Extraneous solutions are solutions that come about in the problem but are not valid solutions to the problem; the only values of x that would give this sort of answer are -2 and 4, since these are the two values that would make one of the denominators 0 (we cannot divide by 0).

Describe how to find the sums -4+2 and -4+(-2) on a number line.

kifflom [539]

For -4+2, plot -4, then move to the right 2 spaces. You should land on -2.

For -4+(-2), plot -4 then move the left 2 spaces. You should land on -6.
