Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

15 bags for $20 can be represented with 15/20
so x bags for $4 can be represented with x/4

now if you proportion it out (ricochet), 4x15 is 60, 60 divided by 20 is 3, so you can buy 3 bags of potatoes with $4.

OR

you could do 15/20 is 0.75

0.75 times 4 is 3, so $4 can buy you 3 bags.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

This is a proportion problem. It assumes that if you know 3 of the four parts of a 2 ratio proportion, you can solve for the 4th one.

Givens

number of bags = 15

Cost = 20

Different cost = 4

number of bags = ?

Formula

Number of bags / Cost = different number of bags/ New Cost

Solution

15/20 = x / 4              Multiply both sides by 4

15*4/20  = x / 4 * 4

60/20 = x

Answer x = 3

That is 4 dollars gets you 3 bags of potatoes

Rewrite the expression in the form 5^n<br><br> (5^-8) (5^-10)
oee [108]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is all about bases and exponents.  Because we have a quotient and the bases are both 5's, that means that we can use the rule of exponents for quotients to rewrite and simplify:

That's the simplification as long as you are "allowed" to leave the exponent as a negative number.

Which choice shows the result of substituting 3x – 5 into the second equation for y?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:  The answer is (B) 2x + 3(3x – 5) = 51 .

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given three options and we are to select which choice shows the result of substituting 3x – 5 into the second equation for y.

So, y = 3x - 5.

Since the standard form of a linear equation i two variables is ax + by = c, so the second equation as given in the options must be of the form 2x + 3y = 51.

If we substitute y = 3x - 5, then this equation becomes

2x + 3(3x - 5) = 51.

Thus, (B) 2x + 3(3x – 5) = 51  is the correct option.
