What is the unit rate for 14 lb for $2.99

1 answer:

6 0

14lb is for $2.99

We then make a fractional form for lb/$
So, 14lb/$2.99

We divide 14lb/$2.99 we get, 4.7lb/$

Unit rate The rate for one unit of given quantity is called a unit rate. These unit rates are again considered as one quantity. Examples are km/h which is derived for instance given that the distance is 10km and the time to be there is 5 hours hence what is the velocity. Which is v=d/t henceafter, 2km/h. Another example is pressure which is force divided by the area. 1 N/m2 which is 5 N times 5 m2, the pressure is 1 N/m2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations is expressed as

y=-2x+7 - - - - - - - - 1

y=5x-7 - - - - - - - - -2

We would equate equation 1 and equation 2. It becomes

- 2x + 7 = 5x - 7

We would add 2x to the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation. Also add 7 to the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation. It becomes

- 2x + 2x + 7 + 7 = 5x + 2x - 7 + 7

14 = 7x

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 7, it becomes

7x/7 = 14/2

x = 2

y= -2 × 2 + 7

y = - 4 + 7

y = 3

In the slope intercept form equation of a line (y=ax+b) a represents the slope, and b represents the intercept, which is -5. Thus, we know y=ax-5. The slope can be found by creating a fraction with the change in y value on top, and the change of x value on the bottom. If we have two points (4, 1) and (0, -5) we can put this into a fraction - $\frac{-5-1}{0-4}$ , which simplifies down to -6/-4, or 3/2. Thus the answer is f(x)= $\frac{3}{2}$ x-5
