The awnser for question 5 is 4/6
Answer:
The constant of proportionality gives you the price per unit at each store.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you assume that the price (y) is directly proportional to the amount (x) you get, the formula is
y = kx
where k is the constant of proportionality.
k = y/x
k has the units of cost per unit, for example, dollars per ounce.
The fewer the dollars per ounce, the better the deal you are getting.
If store A offers apple sauce at $1.29 for 25 oz and Store B offers apple sauce at $2.89 for 50 oz, which is the better deal?
At store A, k = $1.29/25 oz = $0.052/oz or 5.2¢/oz
At store B, k = $2.89/50 oz = $0.058/oz or 5.8¢/oz
The apple sauce is cheaper at Store A.
Answer: she must sell 6 large photos and 6 small photos
Step-by-step explanation: and how I knew that is I multiplied 6 40 times and that gives you 240 and if you multiply 6 ten times that gives you 60 so 240 plus 60 is $300
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2x(x - 3) + 7(x - 3)
2x^2 - 6x + 7x - 21
reduce
2x^2 + x - 21
if this is equal to 0 then:
2x^2 + x - 21 = 0
factored:
(2x + 7)(x - 3) = 0
How that was done:
Divide the (2x^2) into (2x) and (x).
Divide the (-21) into (+7) and (-3). You choose these numbers so that their sum, when multiplied by (2x) and (-3), adds up to (+x).
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define z = x-y, so solving for z will tell us exactly what we want to know. Then we can substitute for x: x = z+y, and our equations become ...
7(z+y)+3y = 8 ⇒ 7z +10y = 8
6(z+y)-3y = 5 ⇒ 6z +3y = 5
We can eliminate the y-variable by subtracting 3 times the first equation from 10 times the second:
10(6z +3y) -3(7z +10y) = 10(5) -3(8)
60z +30y -21z -30y = 50 -24 . . . . eliminate parentheses
39z = 26 . . . . collect terms
z = 26/39 = 2/3 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of z and reduce
The value of x - y is 2/3.
_____
The attached graph shows (x, y) = (1, 1/3), so x - y = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3.
