Answer:

A. $\frac{3}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$3x-7y=14$

We solve for y by subtracting 3x from both sides to obtain;

$-7y=14-3x$

We now divide through by -7 to get;

$y=\frac{-3}{-7}x+\frac{14}{-7}$

This simplifies to;

$y=\frac{3}{7}x-2$

This equation is now in the form y=mx +c, where $m=\frac{3}{7}$ is the slope.

Felicity is planting a garden. Should she measure the perimeter or area to find how much dirt she needs to cover the garden?

Alex_Xolod [135]

She wants to fill the garden with dirt so she should measure the area. If she were building a fence outside the garden then she'd measure the perimeter.

Dimtry bought a pair of pants at the discounted price of $30. The original price of the pants was $40. What was the percent of t

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Say we start from the beginning with $40. If the pants are discounted but we don't know the percent discount, then we need a variable, x:

40 - x% * 40 = 30

The total is 40. When we take a discount off of 40, we are taking a percent of 40 and subtracting that from 40. From the problem, this should be 30. Thus, the equation above.

Add x%*40 to both sides and subtract 30 from both sides:

x%*40 = 10

Divide by 40:

x% = 1/4 = 0.25

Multiply each side by 100:

x = 25

The answer is 25%.

A recipe calls for 3/4 cup of butter. Angie wants to triple the recipe, but she has only 1 5/8.

Lyrx [107]

Let's start out by tripling the original recipe to see how much butter Angie needs.

$\frac{3}{4} * 3 = total$
$\frac{3* 3}{4} = total$
$\frac{9}{4} = total$
$2 \frac{1}{4} = total$

So we need $2 \frac{1}{4}$ cups of butter, but Angie only has $1 \frac{5}{8}$ . Let's subtract what Angie has from the total to see how much more she needs.

$2 \frac{1}{4} - 1\frac{5}{8} = n$
$\frac{9}{4} - \frac{13}{8} = n$
we will need the least common denominator for both fractions
$\frac{2}{2} *(\frac{9}{4}) - \frac{13}{8} = n$
$\frac{18}{8} - \frac{13}{8} = n$
$\frac{5}{8} = n$

So Angie need $\frac{5}{8}$ cups more of butter for the recipe.
