Answer:

<h3>5ths</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

  • Price of whole pizza (A) = 5 × 3 = $15
  • Price of whole pizza (B) = 4.50 × 5 = $22.50

They make 8 whole pizzas.

Therefore

  • Thirds (A) = 15 × 8 = $120
  • Fifths (B) = 22.50 × 8 = $180

They'll make more money if they slice it into fifths.

180 - 120 = $60

Because if they slice it into thirds, total profit will be $60 less

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it usually works well to draw the longest side first. Then draw arcs with radii equal to the other two side lengths. They will cross at an angle that makes the position of the third point easy to find.

Which ordered pair is a solution to the inequality?<br><br> Help please!!
Murrr4er [49]

Choice A is the answer which is the point (1,-1)

=========================================

How I got this answer:

Plug each point into the inequality. If you get a true statement after simplifying, then that point is in the solution set and therefore a solution. Otherwise, it's not a solution.

-------------

checking choice A

plug in (x,y) = (1,-1)

y - 2x \le -3

-1 - 2(1) \le -3

-3 \le -3

This is true because -3 is equal to itself. So this is the answer.

-------------

checking choice B

plug in (x,y) = (2,4)

y - 2x \le -3

4 - 2(2) \le -3

0 \le -3

This is false because 0 is not to the left of -3, nor is 0 equal to -3. We can cross this off the list.

-------------

checking choice C

plug in (x,y) = (-2,3)

y - 2x \le -3

3 - 2(-2) \le -3

7 \le -3

This is false because 7 is not to the left of -3, nor is 7 equal to -3. We can cross this off the list.

-------------

checking choice D

plug in (x,y) = (3,4)

y - 2x \le -3

4 - 2(3) \le -3

-2 \le -3

This is false because -2 is not to the left of -3, nor is -2 equal to -3. We can cross this off the list.
