Should be 8

Step-by-step explanation:

well you want to isolate x so in order to undo multiplication, you divide the 5 on both side that way it cancels on the side with the x.

The answer to that is: X = 8.

40 divided by 5 = 8.

To check we can do 5 x 8 = 40.

X = 8

i can answer this question sweetie!

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
