At the produce counter, 71⁄5 pounds of seedless grapes cost $12.89. how much would 3 pounds cost? a. $3.58 b. $5.16 c. $1.79 d. $5.37

D. $5.37

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to figure out how much grapes cost per pound

Change the mixed number to an improper fraction

7 1/5 = (5*7+1) /5 = 36/5

$12.89 / 36/5

Copy dot flip

12.89 * 5/36 = 1.79 per lb

If we are purchasing 3 pounds, we will multiply by 3

3 lbs * $1.79 / lb = $5.37

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form

it's d
