Since 1 and c are supposed to be equal, I put 2.35+0.25x=1.75+0.4x and solved that for the x. I got 4. Then, since I want to find the price of the beef, I plugged the 4 in the equation of "b" and got 3.35.
I made many mistakes when solving so I restarted many times which is why it took so long to answer. Whew, I actually found the answer though!
If you want to help, mark me brainliest, I'm only 1 away from getting virtuoso! That would make my day, and hope I made yours.
The simplest fraction for is . Write the upper bound as a fraction with the same denominator:
.
Hence the range for would be:
.
If the denominator of is also , then the range for its numerator (call it ) would be . Apparently, no whole number could fit into this interval. The reason is that the interval is open, and the difference between the bounds is less than .
To solve this problem, consider scaling up the denominator. To make sure that the numerator of the bounds are still whole numbers, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by a whole number (for example, 2.)
.
.
At this point, the difference between the numerators is now . That allows a number ( in this case) to fit between the bounds. However, can't be written as finite decimals.
Try multiplying the numerator and the denominator by a different number.

It is important to note that some expressions for can be simplified. For example, because of the common factor .
Mark the point of intersection S of circles R and P, and construct line QS.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the figure attached, the problem is shown. The construction of the tangent lines from point Q to circle P is almost done. The last step is to draw the lines that pass through point Q and the intersection of the circles.
