1/2 of 40 is 20, and the question says 1/4 of the REMAINING cookies, and 1/4 of 20 is 5. There are 3/4 left, or 15 cookies. I hope this helps!
Answer:
Steps 3 and 4 are incorrect because
(a) An incorrect value for slope was obtained in step 3.
(b) The incorrect value for the slope was used in step 4.
Explanation:
Let us evaluate Talia's steps.
Step 1: Select (2, 5) as a point on the line.
CORRECT
Step 2: Select another point (1, 3) on the line.
CORRECT
Step 3: Count units to the right and count units up, to determine the slope.
Units right = 2 - 1 = 1
Units up = 5 - 3 = 2
Slope = (Units up)/(Units right) = 2/1 = 2
INCORRECT because Talia did not obtain a slope of 2.
Step 4: Substitute obtained values in the point-slope form.
(y - y1) = m(x - x1). If we select the point (1, 3), then
y - 2 = 2(x - 1).
Talia's equation is INCORRECT because she used an incorrect value
for the slope.
To find the total profit, add p(x) and q(x):
(110 + 25x) + (15x + 85)
15x + 25x + 110 + 85 --> group like terms
40x + 195 --> add like terms
p(x) + q(x) = 40x + 195 --> This is the function that represents the total profit for January and February
