Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

Bye!

Robert climbed 775775775 steps in 12\dfrac1212 2 1 ​ 12, start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction minutes. How many steps
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Since the question requires you to give the answer in terms of steps/minute, the first step would be to convert hours to minutes:

12.5 hours = 750 minutes

Next, if he took 775 steps in 750 minutes, how many would he take in 1 minute?

This requires you to set up the question as a proportion:  

(775 steps/ 750 minutes) = (x steps/1 minute)

(1 * 775)/750 = 31/30 = 1.033

he took ~1 step per minute

forsale [732]

Let D be dogs and C be cats

<em>dogs, d, is initially five less than twice the number of cats, c</em>

D + 5 = 2C

<em>If she decides to add three more of each, the ratio  of cats to dogs will be</em>

D + 8 = 2C + 3

<em>Could Bea's Pet Shop initially have 15 cats and 20 dogs?</em>

Simply plug in the numbers

20 + 5 = 2(15)

This is clearly not true: 25 does not equal 30

An image of a parabolic lens is projected onto a graph.The y-intercept of the graph is (0, 90), and the zeros are 5 and 9. Which
Gnesinka [82]

Step-by-step explanation:

If the zeros are 5 and 9, then the equation will have the form:

y = a (x–5) (x–9)

We know the point (0, 90) is on the curve, so we can use this to find the coefficient a:

90 = a (0–5) (0–9)

90 = 45a

a = 2

y = 2 (x – 5) (x – 9)
