<span>If each square brick cut is equal to .25 pounds and in total he cuts 36 equal sized squares, then you just need to multiply .25 by 36. One way to look at it is, what is 25% of 36. Whether or not you multiply by 25% or .25 the answer will be 9. Grayson has cut 9 pounds of fudge.</span>
Answer:
A: The x-intercept of k(x) is half the x-intercept of h(x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer choices B, C, and D are concerned with slopes and y-intercepts. The coefficients of x in the functions are different and are related by a factor of -2, so the lines are not parallel, and one slope is not twice the other. The y-intercepts (constants) in each function are different, so they graphs do not cross the y-axis at the same place.
Hence answer choices B, C, and D can be eliminated.
The x-intercepts are found by setting y=0 and solving for x:
h(x) = 0 = -2x +4 ⇒ x = 4/2 = 2
k(x) = 0 = 4x -4 ⇒ x = 4/4 = 1
The x-intercept of k(x) is half that of h(x). . . . . . . matches choice A
Estimation help find the reasonableness of the final answer.

7s + 12 > 46 - 10s
Add 10s to both sides:
17s + 12 > 46
Subtract 12 to both sides:
17s > 34
Divide 17 to both sides:
s > 2
The inequality graphed would have an open dot on 2 and the arrow would be going to the right.
