Answer:

$2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to set up a proportion to show how much the cost of milk is when discounted per gallon. 0% off, the milk would be $3.75. 40% off, the milk would be x. Now I flipped the percents because that is how much you are actually paying.

Proportion would look something like this:

3.75/100 = x/60

solve for x:

225 = 100x

x= 2.25

Evaluate n+2x2 when n=3 and x=−2.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

When n=3 and x=−2 the answer is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let p (n,x) be the function such that

$p (n,x) = n + 2x^{2}$

To Find:

p (n,x) = p ( 3, -2) = ?

Solution:

$p (n,x) = n + 2x^{2}$

Substituting n = 3 and x = -2 we get

$p (3, -2) = 3 + 2(-2)^{2}$

Negative square gives positive number therefore (-2)²=4

$p (3, -2) = 3 + 2\times 4$

$p (3, -2) = 3 + 8\\p (3, -2) = 11$

When n=3 and x=−2 the answer is 11.
