Answers:
- Choice B) y = (1/4)x
- The unit rate is <u> 3.89 </u> dollars per pound. It costs <u> 23.34 </u> dollars for a turkey that weighs 6 pounds.
=====================================================
Explanations:
- Direct proportional equations are always in the form y = kx, where k is some constant. In the case of choice B, we have k = 1/4. Visually, direct proportion equations are always straight lines and go through the origin.
- Divide $34.99 over 9 to get 34.99/9 = 3.88777 approximately. This rounds to 3.89, so it costs $3.89 per pound. That's the unit rate. Multiply this by 6 to get 6*3.89 = 23.34 which is the cost of the 6 pound turkey.
Answer: -7 = e
Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation for <em>e</em>, we need to get <em>e</em> by itself on the right side of the equation. Since <em>e</em> is multiplied by 16, in order to get <em>e</em> by itself, we need to divide by 16 on the right side of the equation. If we divide by 16 on the right side of the equation, we must also divide by 16 on the left side of the equation.
On the right side of the equation the 16's cancel and we have <em>e</em>. On the right side of the equation -112 divided by 16 is -7. Remember that a negative divided by a positive is a negative.
So we have -7 = e which is the solution to our equation.
To check our solution, we can plug -7 in for <em>e</em> in the original equation. So we have -112 = 16 (-7) or -112 = -112 which is a true statement so our answer checks.
