Answer: To remove fractions prior to solving, each term in the equation must be multiplied by 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given expression:

-\frac{3}{4}m-\frac{1}{2}=2+\frac{1}{4}m

It is essential to simplify this before attempting to solve it.

Since the denominators differ, identifying the Least Common Denominator (LCD) is necessary.

Break down the denominators into their prime components:

4=2*2=2^2\\2=2

Select 2^2, as it possesses the greatest exponent. Thus:

LCD=2^2=4

Ultimately, to remove the fractions before solving, multiply both sides by 4:

(4)(-\frac{3}{4}m)-(4)(\frac{1}{2})=(4)(2)+(4)(\frac{1}{4}m)\\\\-3m-2=8+m

A) The cost to send a package that weighs 3.2 pounds is $4.13. Since this weight exceeds 3 pounds but remains below 4 pounds, we have to refer to the pricing that applies to 4-pound packages (see the attached document for pricing details).

b) To illustrate the Media Mail shipping costs based on the weight of the books, a line graph is appropriate. In this graph, the weight in pounds is represented on the x-axis and the shipping costs on the y-axis.

c) The graph depicting the Media Mail shipping costs as a function of book weight will be represented by the equation: f(x) = 2.69 + 0.48(x-1)

tester [3916]
48 divided by 3 equals 16 (cups)
Adding 16 and 16 gives 32 (which is double the number of cups)
Thus, the number of plates is 16.

Svet_ta [4321]
To calculate, simply multiply 12 by 0.15 or 15%, which equals 1.8. Then subtract 1.8 from 12, yielding $10.20 as the discounted price for the pizza.

A trust fund worth $25,000 is invested in two different portfolios, this year, one portfolio is expected to earn 5.25% interest
Leona [4166]

Answer:

A sum of $12,000 should be allocated at an interest rate of 5.25%, while $13,000 should be put in at 4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that

The simple interest formula is given by

I=P(rt)

where

I represents the total interest earned,

P is the initial investment,

r stands for the interest rate, and

t is the number of time periods.

Define

x as the amount invested at 5.25%,

and (25,000 - x) as the amount put in at 4%.

From the problem,

t=1\ year\\ P_1=\$x\\P_2=\$(25,000-x)\\r_1=0.0525\\r_2=0.04\\I=\$1,150

Plugging these into the formula:

I=P_1(r_1t)+P_2(r_2t)

1,150=x(0.0525*1)+(25,000-x)(0.04*1)

Now, isolate x:

1,150=0.0525x+1,000-0.04x

0.0525x-0.04x=1,150-1,000

0.0125x=150

x=\$12,000

|$25,000-x=\$13,000

Hence, investing $12,000 at 5.25% and $13,000 at 4% meets the required interest condition.
